With the exception of one game, they've always had to "dig deep" to scrape out a win against us in the last several years.
We will see what happens when Texas A&M plays them. I'm thinking Bama goes 10-4 at best. Losses to AnM and LSU. I predicted a 38-24 win by LSU back in early August. It's looking like a high probability now.
That's because LSU has had a great football program. Bama is getting it done with arguably the second best program nipping at their feet in their own division. When you consider the SEC as a whole, it's down right scary and somewhat weird how this Bama team has NC in 3 of the last 4 seasons.
At this point, I can't see how Alabama goes to A&M and wins 10 days from now. I think Manziel and company will make the Bama defense look just as foolish as last year. And if Bama hasn't corrected their issue with the O-line, it will actually be a double digit win by A&M. Otherwise, look for a repeat score from last season.
I'm trying to meet you in the middle. Give and take. I try to put something in there for everyone. Especially myself.
I like what you see, but I doubt it. Both teams will be better than their first week's venture, but Alabama is just way to deep for A&M to stay with them in the second half and unlike last year, Alabama won't be "out of it" as they were one week after the beating they took in last year's LSU game. More so, you better believe that Alabama has been pointing to the A&M game since last year which to some extent might explain their flat offense in week one. Wouldn't surprise me if A&M goes in a nose dive starting with the second half of the Alabama game while the Crimson Tide rolls along until they meet their Waterloo on Saturday, November 9, 2013.
