They pulled together their best performance when we were at our lowest low. We literally one whole side of starters out for that game with Kendrick, Kmac and Vickers going down.
Just an overreaction to yesterdays score without taking other items into consideration. Bama has some weaknesses that UT couldn't exploit yesterday. I think it will a much tighter game and a rested A&M might pull it out.
A&M's run game isn't gimmick FB. Knight and Williams are damn good, and if Seals-Jones and Ford are healthy.. they can do some damage.
I still expect A&M to lose, but again, they are rested.
This is Alabama's 8th straight game. They've lost a game each of the last 4 years they weren't expected to lose (Ole Miss 2014, 15, Auburn 2014, OU 2014, A&M 2012, etc.), yet still have recovered to win the National Championship a number of those years.
A&M actually played 'Bama close last year, sans the 3 pick 6's from Allen. They held Alabama to 20 offensive points and scored 23 on offense and special teams (Kirk punt return TD).
I would love to see the Aggies beat the taters, but unfortunately.. I think Bama will spank them. It won't be as bad as we got it, but I think Bama will win by at least 2 scores. I'd feel better about A&M's chances if they were in College Station.
