Interesting analysis to me for sure. I don't know if a lot of people who like 61-52 games can really appreciate the physicality on that field Saturday night.

If Alabama wins out, which is still a very big if (I am scared to death about this weekend), one of Oregon and Kansas State will get the chance to prove or disprove what Eddie said. Oregon is a very good football team, no doubt. Recall that in 2010, as an example, Alabama scored more points on *uburn than Oregon did.

Johnny Football will have y'all worried for awhile. I just don't see y'all losing. The truth be told, only Georgia can beat y'all of the possible remaining teams. They're built to go head to head with LSU & the gumps. If y'all win that game, The Nat Champ Game is a blowout. Especially if they put Oregon against y'all.

I think, like is usually the case for Speedy B QB's, It takes a Defense a Qtr. or so to get the timing down and then put the cuffs on.

I think A&M is capable of scoring in the 17 point range against Bama, but how will A&M stop Bama?

and like I said when LSU played them, their QB is also their leading rusher, If you stop him, then you've essentially taken out half their offense. Now what?

I also think it’s a grave mistake to make the comparison between Johnny Football doing good if Zach M. could. Last I checked, Johnny plays behind A&M’s O-Line, not LSU’s. Zach M. was playing @ home, not in Tuscaloosa. BIG Difference.

Johnny F Football against the Texas defense scores FIFTY.....against the Bama defense he may break a run or two, or they may break him in two, they will force him to throw the football and he is just slightly better than Dennard Robinson who they already handled earlier in the year..the kid is exciting but this is the big time

I don't see Georgia being able to stay on the field with us or LSU, but that's why they play the games.

I would be worried most about Oregon if we get that far, but I think our defense will slow them down a good bit. I think what really happens there is that our offense keeps the ball from them and wears their defense down with a physical attack.

As we saw Saturday night, a couple ill-timed turnovers, a missed opportunity on a wide open deep ball, and a hot QB can change things in a hurry.

As with Tebow, Newton, and Robinson before him, the name of the game here is to stay in your rush lane, keep Manziel in front of you, and make him throw from the pocket. If he beats you doing that tip your hat and move on.

Like I said it will take outside intervention for TAMU to win.

But it has happen before. A long time ago but once when Gene Stallings coached the Aggies to a victory against Bear Bryant's Tide. The second time was when Jackie Sherill coached the Aggies and beat AL. AL had a powerfull running back who A&M's wrecking crew stopped three times on a practically nothing and goal. I can't remember the backs name. A legend at AL.

Just hoping.

I think I'll watch the movie "We've Never Been Licked" starring Noah Berry, Jr. and Robert Mitchem just before the game.

Wayne you guys are set up for your best chance.

Bama will be playing its 5th straight SEC opponent. The last of which being the most physical and emotionally demanding and was on the road.

They'll be back Home, licking their wounds and feeling relaxed. Will they be relaxed to the point of laziness? or relaxed to the point of playing loose and confident?

Guess we'll see.

Oops the Jackie Sherill game was against the other Alabama school, Auburn. The running back was Bo Jackson.

Spot on Dustin. Hence the reason I am really scared to death about this weekend.
