We are simply better than Texas A&M. Though I worry about any game against a good team, this doesn't have the feel of an upset. The Aggies are coming to Tuscaloosa having not rested in several weeks. I think Sumlin is an average coach who has lucked into a situation with a really athletic quarterback and has made the most of it. However nice their QB looks, he is still a freshman. The only way Alabama doesn't win this game is if we pull a repeat of last week's game and allow their offense to run a whole lot of plays. I just don't see it happening again. Alabama scores early and often. Coach Saban's defense will bend on occasion to the Aggies, but no way do they score more than two touchdowns on us. Unless we turn the ball over several times, we put this game away by the middle of the third quarter. Reading the Aggie boards, you'd think they were the ones who almost won last Saturday. They lost at home to LSU and Florida and barely beat Ole Miss and La Tech.
The Aggies have done a good job their first year in the SEC. However, they haven't shown the ability to win big games when the chance was there. Close doesn't count. This one won't be close.
Alabama 40
Texas A&M 17
