It was a wonderful win against the Orange Guys on Saturday, but make no mistake, TA&M has better athletes. I'm sure CNS is making sure the team does not get complacent, so we need to do the same thing. Bama has a much faster, athletic D than when Knight played for OK in the Sugar Bowl and just ran us ragged. I don't believe that will be the case this time.

The only thing that will stop Bama at this point is Bama. Don't believe CNS will allow that and we should continue our demolition of the SEC.

All I have heard on the TV, radio and the papers since the game is how Alabama is in a league of our own and that no one else even comes close. This is dangerous stuff for our guys.

Agreed. It's hard to keep focus when everywhere you go, people are singing praises. If anybody can drown them out, it's Saban. But they are college age, and it isn't easy to hold their attention.

While TAMU may have better athletes than Tennessee, their tackling fundamentals have been below par.

I look for TAMU to try to stifle our running game (Not sure they are up to it) and put the burden on Jalen... (Mistake) or put heavy pressure on Jalen and try to force some bad throws.
Got news for TAMU... Jalen Hurts ain't your typical Freshman Quarterback.
I expect we will spread em out by working the corners then run it down their throats.

Yup..Complacency is the last thing I worry about with Coach Saban as our HC..It seems like he talks about complacency every time he speaks to the media, it's at the top of his list of things not allowed on the team, I have no doubts that he or our team leaders will allow complacency to set it on our team..
 
I believe that Jalen has this one circled. Being from Texas and now getting to play the school that recruited you has to light some kind of fire. The way the team is playing and the the behavior CNS has presented over the years, I think we are fine.

This ain't 2014....some of our Seniors remember Mr. Knight and have probably informed the underclassmen, so I look forward to seeing our D in the backfield. Mr. Knight, I believe you will have grass stains and paint all over your uniform come Sat.;)

I hope he had someone who played on both the 2009 and 2010 teams come in and give them a pep talk.

Right after we killed Florida in 2010, there were murmurs of 'greatest ever.'

The next week we lost to S Carolina. Only someone who FIRST had the taste of success and THEN had those plaudits totally gets it. Just my 2 cents.

A&M will be a cake walk. This game will be over by the middle of the 3rd quarter.

Well, if you say so....


Your team doesn't have the pressure and isn't capable of playing big in pressure packed games like Alabama does. Every game we play the team is under pressure and close scrutiny. It doesn't matter if we are playing The Citadel or the Dallas Cowboys, our team is always under the microscope. Alabama has been there and done that, Ohio State hasn't. The Buckeyes are in for an extreme rude awaking when this game kicks off. Your team hasnt faced an OL or DL like ours all year long. That Freshman QB of yours will be running for his life and throwing into the teeth of a Kirby Smart/Nick Saban defense. Trust me, your team will not win if we bring the A-game. If both teams bring the A-game, then we'll beat you by 10-14 points. If we bring the A-game and you the B-game, we win by 21+. If we play the B-game and you the A-game, we still win by 3-7 points. You're overmatched.
