Comments
The reported Jimbo Fisher-Nick Saban back-and-forth finally gets to meet on the football field. It’s shocking how down the Aggies are this season. They were expected to be a loaded contender but so far are just an also-ran in the SEC. Yes, there is a lot of ball to still be played this season. A&M will put up a decent fight but Bama wins this one by double-digits.
