Two teams, undefeated in conference play, clash at Kyle Field when Texas A&M football take on the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday.
On a slate of not so great games, this one is decent. Many think that no one can hang in with the Tide and they likely aren’t wrong. Saban’s team excels in every phase of the game, making it hard for anyone to stand on level ground with them. Honestly, the team isn’t the best college football has ever seen. However, they force the other team to make mistakes and then capitalize on those. Turnovers become points for the Tide.
If Texas A&M wants a chance against the Tide, they will have to play a complete game and limit their mistakes. Kellen Mond will need to play his best game to date. He must survey the field and make accurate throws as well as continuing his rushing game.
The Aggie defense will need to play all four quarters with the intensity they showed in the fourth against South Carolina. In that quarter, the team was firing on all cylinders. They have to do that the entire game, much like Alabama already does. This Alabama team is obnoxiously strong and to stand on the same footing, the Aggies will have play at the same strength and intensity the Tide does.
Here are my three bold predictions for the match up on Saturday night.
