aTm May have let the State game slip away, but Arkansas dominated every statistical category in the aTm game. To blame that loss on injuries, is kind of out there.

aTm managed 272 yards of offense and gave up 200 on the ground. Net difference in total yards was about 200.

Alabama has a bunch of folks hurt now, and they are still winning


Didn't you hear?

The rules apply differently for Alabama. What gets other teams a bit of a pass doesn't count for Bama.

Do you contend that a healthy Arkansas would be favored over a healthy TAMU next Saturday?

How much of YOUR net worth would you bet on that game?

Your hogs have a good team, and they are on the right traectory with the right coach for their squad. But, all things being equal, the Aggies are a better football team today.

2. Bama 3, aTm


Right now if Bama had to play the Aggies or Tenn again, they would lose!

Of course. A healthy KJ Jefferson for the 2nd half of the AGGY game and that turns into a blowout.

You act like Aggy is the only team dealing with injuries. Arkansas has lost their All American safety, had a banged up QB, lost starting OL, starting NG and DE during their 3 game skid a few weeks back.

You sound foolish. Anyone who watched the Ark/aTm knows if KJ isn’t injured, that game gets into blowout range.

Bama until they lose.

It will be interesting to see Saban try to solve some line of scrimmage issues especially for pass protection.

They don’t seem to have the elite players from tackle to tackle on offense that they have had since 2008.

They had some odd looking protection last night where a guard pulled and the center stepped with him leaving a 10 foot gap between the center and tackle. It was ugly.
They either are not executing, lack talent, or the coaches are not getting the job done.

Protection of QB is the first priority in almost any passing offense. Bama is not doing that as well as they did the last several years.

However, Auburn’s line is worse. Anderson may win a Heisman against us in A few weeks If we do not improve dramatically.

I tend to agree with you but for maybe slightly different reasons.

Hogs have a good team and a solid future ahead of them. Aggies are playing much differently than the beginning of the year, and that is even before the loss to Arky. You play with the team you have, period.

I think Jimbo spit the bit in getting enough players on the O Line S well as Calzada ready. We struggled mightily from the get go.

Arkansas was clearly the better team when we played and there is no denying it. I DO think we would change that result if both teams played tomorrow but that does t matter one bit.

RIGHT NOW
Georgie
Aggies
Auburn
Alabama
Arkansas
Ole Miss

I think Auburn can beat Alabama this year; their defense yesterday was every bit as physical as ours. Arkansas over Rebs due to Ole Miss injuries.
I am not high on Alabama at the moment. They are playing very uninspired football.

This. This is what I wanted to see when A&M came to the SEC.

Having a group of teams in each division with the talent/physicality to beat each other all the way until the end of the season. The West has held up their end...you boys in the East(save GA) need to pick it up.

A&M should handle Ole Piss... Ole Piss is not the same team with Corral @ the moment, he's clearly hurting pretty bad. Aubie could very well turn the Tide in Jordan Hare

doubtful that happens if they played now and both have lost multiple times since that game.


This is a yes, but. I've given them myself and always felt bad after realizing I did so. Yes, but... means that you know something happened but by golly you wish it had not.

Allow me to illustrate. Yes, Arkansas was the worst P5 team just a few years ago, but if we had lured Nick Saban up to be our coach instead of Chad Morris that wouldn't have happened.

Honestly I'm not convinced you beat either Arkansas or State in a rematch if we played next week. That is not a knock on A&M, but I'm just saying both teams gave y'all issues you were not able to solve.
