If anything maybe, you can see this as a tune-up for Oregon ;-) ... dare I say it? Sorry for looking *way* ahead but it does get me thinking.I know A & M's QB is outstanding scrabbling with the football and that's not been the case with any of the Ar-Kansas QB's, but I don't see A & M as a power offense. They are more finesse.
Are you a math major by chance???:conf2:Our average game: Score 65% more than the opposing defense averages, and hold defense to 32% of opponent's offensive average.
A&M's average game: Score 61% more than the opposing defense averages, and hold defense to 74% of opponent's offensive average.
Our average score: 38-9
A&M's average score: 42-23
Our average SEC score:38-10
A&M's average SEC score: 38-19
Our offenses look like they are pretty much statistically even. Our defense (no surprise) looks to be the difference.
Expected score: 33-14, Alabama

I'll say that if A&M scores 35 they will win. Your assuming Johnny Be Good will see the field that much. Personally I think you will see that Bama has a ground game and it will be utilized. That should keep the score down as well as y'all's talented QB.I respectfully (since this is your board) predict Aggies 35, Tide 34! Ok, I'll duck and you can bash away now! lol
