#15 Texas A&M at #1 Alabama

Post by RanDux »

I'd like to see the Ducks play Bama in the NC, but a part of me wants to see A&M win this game.

I wouldn't guarantee an Alabama loss knocking them out of the NCG.

It will be interesting to see Bama vs. a higher scoring offense - unSEC like.

They are going to lock the Aggies down and keep them from scoring more than 3 td's

Could a one loss Bama team ( or any one loss team for that matter) surpass undefeated Oregon and KSU?

Best shot would be from SEC east winner beating the West in their Conference championship but I doubt Georgia or Florida could do it as they've both been unimpressive this season, so that's a no.

This game is as close to anything we'll see in the regular season that would resemble Oregon v. Bama.

aTm has a really good spread offense. Not nearly as good as Oregon, but good enough to get a glimpse of how good the Bama defense is at defending a wide open field.

I think aTm might score between 21-28. If so, that's a good sign. If Bama holds aTm to an LSU-like six point performance, it'll confirm my suspicion that Bama is fielding one of the best CFB defenses in the last decade.

Personally I think they were better last year on "D". They struggle in man to man situations this year, much weaker in the secondary.

Good to hear from somebody who is probably far more acquainted with Bama as a lot of West costers.

Do you think aTm has a shot? Or will they get stuffed like every other team that has gone up against Bama this year?

I thought bamas D when they won the title a few years back(when ingram was there) was one of the best Ds I have seen in college.

The game has "let down" all over it, but I don't see it going the Aggie's way. I'm thiking 31-17 Bama.

I think A&M will put points on the board, but not sure if they'll be able to stop the Bama run game.
