🏈 Texas A & M: another bunch that Believes.

[Bamabww]

LSU punched Bama in the mouth. Now Bama knows they can be beaten and deep inside the recesses of their mind, that they SHOULD have already been beaten. They are now cursed with doubt, but make no mistake, this team is still a mentally tough powerhouse that plays with a purpose and a process. That purpose is to grind other team's bones to make their bread. To win, A&M will have to dance, keeping themselves at a distance, utilizing every inch of the field on offense to create space for our playmakers. We will have to score early, perhaps building as much as a two-touchdown lead in order to force Bama out of its comfort zone. This will force A.J. McCarron to pass the ball downfield while under pressure, hopefully resulting in some timely turnovers. A.J. played decent on the final drive last week, but he's not a quarterback that can beat you. He's been efficient, but that's because he hasn't been needed to make plays. Given the choice between the Bama rushing attack and A.J., I'll take my chances with the second coming of Gino Torretta.

I was unable to find when the last time a #1 team was upset on their home field. Still, this Bama team is beatabIe due to a lack of genuine offensive playmakers and attrition on defense. I give Kevin Sumlin & Co. a puncher's chance if they roll into Tuscaloosa with the same swagger they've displayed all year, and spread the field while making big plays without turning the ball over or squandering opportunities with missed field goals. They have to be flawless. But hey! They've exceeded our expectations (and the expectations of all the Big 12 haterz) all year. Why stop now?

Believe. This weekend we will be pilgrims in an unholy land. To emerge victorious in our quest for college football's holy grail, WE MUST BELIEVE!

You guys really have no idea about the Aggie fanbase...

i understand most of that except. "aj's not a qb that can beat you." tell that to the lsu team after the BCSNCG or half the teams we've played this year that got the ball thrown over their head for easy TDs early in the game when they sold out to stop the run. they're crazy in the head!

if tamu attempts to load the LOS and go man to man with AJ and co.. they are screwed.

Probably not the best use of analogies since BAMA cleaned Gino's clock 34-13 in the 1993 Sugar Bowl but hey! What do I know?

Took the words right out my mouth

Aggie fans will believe anything I mean A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G can happen with them, they're just as passionate about their team as we are with ours, their record doesn't matter. No matter how delusional it sounds, they expect a win every single week.

 

[jdpas29]

i respect that. but they are primarily a running team... which doesn't match up very well against Alabama.

they will, just like lsu, need a magical day passing to keep up with Alabama. and i don't know how many of you have watched Johnny football pass, but it ain't pretty.

"A lack of genuine playmakers on offense and attrition on defense":headscratch:? Evidently, thid guy hasn't watched a single BAMA game this year!! Lacy, Yeldon, Norwood, Bell, Cooper, both Jones boys at wr, etc. My only guess about the attrition on defense is the starters we lost from last season that went in the first 35 picks of the NFL draft. Well, we all know about those discussions and the shear numbers of kids we play on that side of the ball!! CJ Moseley will be a name that will give them nightmares after Sat. CJ wasn't involved too much against LSwho simply because of their schemes but this spread option style of A&M plays into his hands!!

The other headscratcher, AJ played a decent last drive?!! Seriously!! 4-5 72yds and a TD with no timeouts and he does it in 34 secs!!! That's decent? I know that there were ALOT of NFL QBs that would die for a drive like that!!

Not to be off subject, but seriously one of my favorite parts of that video is the post game interview when AJ walks up and the interaction that Saban and AJ have with one another.
