A&M at Alabama.....Aggies might need a smooth stone and a slingshot

[1st and goal]

After last Saturday's beat down of Tennessee by Alabama, it doesn't look good for the Aggies.

IMO, a big factor will be our run offense against their run defense. Whether or not A&M's Oline can make a lane or not and if T Knight's ability to read the D and tuck it and run....It will take the Aggies their best game yet if they want to have a chance. If A&M can get some good yards on 1st and 2nd down, not forcing 3rd and long, I believe they can move the ball. If we get there, and their D stuffs us and we turnover the ball, forgetaboutit.

Also, if Miles Garrett and Daeshon Hall are healthy and able to put pressure on QB Jalen Hurd (another displaced Texan), which will require they contain him, will be another big factor. Our Defense is so much improved over last year. The only frustration is when they can't seem to wrap up and tackle, like against Kamara the week before. That and playing the screen option plays tighter.

If it sounds like I'm rambling, it is because I am too fired up on sugar (had a piece of Italian cream cake)...

I think A&M's defense can keep it close. I think it was herbie that mentioned this weekend that bama is susceptible to the pass. Of course, knight isn't exactly going to have a high % of completions so that is not good.

I think if A&M can have some success running the ball, I think they can catch bama cheating on play action. But if knight has to throw 30 times, the Aggies are going to be in big trouble.

Aggies are gonna need a defensive td or a special teams td to have a chance. I don't think they can rely on the offense to score all the points.

Aggies will need to consistently win the field position battle and take care of the football. If they can do those, they have a chance. Bama is too good to give them short fields and turnovers.

Yeah, good points. One thing, herd is a young kid. He hasn't exactly been great passing, mainly because he hasn't had to. They might be able to force him into a mistake or two.

The radio guys brought up the fact that Tennessee came into Kyle Field with 3 or 4 key players out and then they had 8 or so guys have to get helped off the field. So, they played Bama with many injuries at key positions.

They also talked about Bama not only having so many 5 star players, but having 5 star backup players.

I hope A&M is healed up.

I hope T Knight can keep mistakes to a bare minimum and has his best game yet as an Aggie.

I wished that Wisconsin would have knocked off Ohio State, and NC State would have knocked off Clemson...

Don't worry if A&M beats Bama and wins out there in. Ohio St. and Michigan have to play each other.

Even if a&m loses, I would hardly call that blowing it and being irrelevant in the SEC. They already have 4 SEC wins....

ROLL TIDE.... There is the Alabama program, and then everyone else. What a program of consistency. In a league by themselves. Hope our next coach gets us somewhere close to that type of program. We were the last Texas team to win a national championship & as usual, will have to be the next one to do it... just never see the aggy program getting there... you know..aggy gonna ag.

The Aggie program is way ahead of UT right now.
