Live from Kyle Field, the Aggies will take on top-ranked Alabama football. Will it be a close game? Probably not. Here is everything you need to know.

Alabama has rolled through the competition so far this season and it hasn’t even been close. Meanwhile, Texas A&M nearly lost to Arkansas. Those are two very different situations to be in and many aren’t giving the Aggies much of a chance in this one. I’m one of those people as it stands right now. The Aggies just aren’t up to the caliber that Alabama is playing.

So, if you’re a Tide fan or you just enjoy watching Texas A&M struggle, here is how you can catch this matchup.

Keys to Victory

Alabama just has to play their game to win this one. Getting past Texas A&M won’t be as easy as Southern Miss or any other team like that, but the Aggies aren’t playing all that well as of right now. Their offense has the ability to absolutely railroad this Aggie team. The defense is playing relatively well, though they did allow 30 points to Ole Miss. Can the Alabama offense keep it out of reach of the Aggies?

For the Aggies, everything has to go right. Yes, everything. They haven’t had that happen yet against bigger competition, so if it’s going to happen, now would be the best time for it to happen for sure. They can’t wait until the fourth quarter to put it all together for sure.

Prediction

Texas A&M will hang around for sure, especially for a home game. However, Alabama will keep this game out of reach and it will be over by the third quarter. Better luck next time Aggies.

Final Score: Alabama 37, Texas A&M 20
