Comments

This game will be one of the best matchups for the upcoming weekend. This year it’ll be hard for anyone to outscore Alabama’s offense. I don’t think Alabama’s defense is as strong of some of the Tide defenses of the past 10 years. A&M looked pretty sloppy against Vandy last week giving up three turnovers and scoring Vandy a safety because of a blocking penalty on A&M in the endzone. The Commodores might have won the game if not for an interception by the Aggies late in the game. I think this will be a fairly high scoring game.
