I just want to see our offense take a step up this week. Score some points and sustain some drives. I don't think we can keep A&M under 50 but is like to see us score 30.

No, I read ya. Loud and clear."



In all seriousness, though, 'Bama has what is considered to be the best skill position players in the country, a darkhorse Heisman candidate at QB who is thought to be the best 'game manager' in the country, and multiple future NFL offensive linemen. A&M played the best and got shown why they are #1 right now. Doesn't mean the Aggie D isn't good. This game did nothing to give me hope, on either side of the ball.


But hey, there's a reason why they play the game....

We could do well passing against aTm imo.

even most Aggies in their predictions think SMU well might score 21-30 points-so they know they have weaknesses in secondary and in run defense

If we establish the run first then it's possible (they've had a lot of trouble stopping the run even when stacking the box). The biggest pass plays made by their first 3 opponents were primarily off of play action against stacked boxes. Mumme's dink and dunk isn't likely to work well since ATM can just drop back 7 defenders in coverage and press while getting pressure with 4.

The aTm defense is not that good. The offense is just not playing well.
