🏈 🏈 PRE-GAME Thread: Alabama visits Texas A&M

[BamaFan334]

Which CBS broadcast team is doing the Alabama - A&M game?

Which broadcast team is doing Georgia vs Auburn?

I would imagine Brad and Gary would get the primetime game at 7.

Great resource - thanks Terry!

Thank goodness it is. Those 2 are the best tandem. The crew doing UGA-Barn is a huge drop off

You're still not getting the point.

He went for it ON PURPOSE, to prove a point either way. Get the 4th and 1, and the game is over before OM gets the ball again. Fail, and the D has to answer the bell again. In reality, the D got a stop, but was called for a bogus PI, so OM got a score.

It's all a teaching point. The offense was given a chance to prove a point - they could run it when OM knew the run was coming, and still get a yard and seal the game.

They didn't. I expect that leaves a sour taste in the team's mouth, which is good in a game still won by a blowout margin.

Yeah.
It was just aplay that didnt work....no sinister meaning...ran same playon 4th n 1 vs florida for 4th TD...and it worked...

Some work...n some dont...

On to bigger and fatter fish to fry...we good NDD!

Drew Sanders out for the game.

Game to game after that according to Saban

I just started reading "Fourth and Goal Every Day". I'll share it in the book thread.

That book is very hard to put down!
Read it way too long into the night.

When did this happen?

 

[bama alum]

Drew or Trey Sanders?

 

[bamafan9201]

Drew Sanders to clarify

 

[NickelDoubleDog]

Braswell, Dallas Turner, and Mwikuta step up.

Whoever can hold up against the run the best needs to be on the field this weekend.

 

[Davestwin]

When did this happen?

It happened Saturday but Saban said they didn’t realize he would need surgery until later.

 

[Tidestalker]

Bummer. Seriously. I wonder when they would expect him back?

Braswell & Turner, step on up! Excited to see what Braswell can do in a full time role... Tons of potential there

 

[PurlJam]

Fact, or fiction? Can you name a game where the "12th man" actually made a difference for A&M since they've been in the SEC? According to the GameDay crew, the "intimidation factor" at A&M is, in fact, fiction?

Didn't the 12th man miss a block on Speedy's tooth ejection?

.....

Sounds like the expectation is about a month (LSU game at worst?), but maybe sooner with a pain tolerance and a water tower hand wrap. I'd say the pain issue won't be too much an ussie with him since he played with it messed up all day Saturday, plus he can get shot up before kick if he wants. But I choose to look at this as good news... quality reps for others who need them, and Sanders can't shred an ACL or blow an Achilles if he's nursing a bad thumb and in street clothes. Suck it, curse!

I love the phrasing that comes out when time/dates 'leak' out early. "Up to 35, maybe 40 days."
LSU.

Bubble wrap him since they don't need him for next few games. This is great way to develop depth chart for ILBs.

Probably get roasted but I hope the team isn't thinking the same was as many fans are about the A&M game. A&M has some good players. A lot that returned from a really good team last year. Of course they have not played well this year but they have the players to do so.

Saban has talked about this A&M game—since Jimbo's comment about beating his ass where he asked "in golf?"—in terms of 2020 every time he's spoken of the matchup.

It's funny because he's always talking about how each year his teams are vastly different.

A&M doesn't have a QB and has a patched up offensive line. It's not going to bode well for the Aggies Saturday. Some of this is on Jimbo due to his mouth, some of it's due to the culture he's fostering there, and then there's the injury bug that's hit.
