Alabama’s Eddie Jackson Injured, Leaves Texas A&M Game
Next up is a home date with Texas A&M and they won’t be overlooking the Aggies’ potential with a trip to LSU right around the corner. “Every reign comes to an end then a new kings reign begins”.
Alabama’s offense outgained Texas A&M’s offense 451 yards to 278 yards. The announcement is a huge blow to the Crimson Tide defense as the senior is one of the key leaders in the Alabama secondary. NOTES: Alabama RG Alphonse Taylor (concussion) dressed for the game, but did not start. Texas A&M shouldn’t veer too far out of the Top 10 despite the lopsided final score. The Aggies have seven interceptions and 10 fumble recoveries for a turnover margin of plus-6 – or plus-1 per game.”Absolutely not”, he said. The points per game is skewed in part to Alabama unexplainable non-offensive score streak.
Missouri has not played well against good competition; however, in their two games against teams outside the power five they’ve won by a total of 140-21.
Alabama defensive lineman Jonathan Allen (93) sacks Texas A&M quarterback Trevor Knight, front left, during the first half of an NCAA college football game, Saturday, Oct. 22, 2016, in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The Crimson Tide brings a ideal 7-0 record into this game with wins over USC, Western Kentucky, Ole Miss, Kent State, Kentucky, Arkansas and Tennessee. Hornets coach Steve Clifford says there is a good chance Williams will be available for the team’s regular season opener on October 26 against the Milwaukee Bucks. Daeshon Hall and Myles Garrett are two of the top defensive ends in the country.

The Crimson Tide marched down the field easily, and Hurts capped the drive with a 5-yard touchdown pass to tight end O.J. Howard to make it 13-0 early in the second quarter.
They are ranked 98th in total defense and 109th in pass defense. They must keep Horned Frogs QB Kenny Hill from going off; Hill already has three games of 400 or more passing yards this year.
“Hopefully he’s got some warm fuzzies about that back in his memory bank”, first-year Texas A&M offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone joked Tuesday.
I find it kind of insane that Alabama is almost a three touchdown favorite coming into this game. During last week’s game, the Tide stuffed Tennessee, holding the Volunteers to 32 yards on 32 carries.
Sept 14, 1985: Alabama 23 Texas A&M 10 – Van Tiffin hits a school-record 57-yard field goal.
488: The Aggies will bring one of the SEC’s top receiving threats in Josh Reynolds to Bryant-Denny Stadium.
With the college football season essentially at its midpoint, Alabama, despite starting a true freshman quarterback, again has clearly established itself as the nation’s gold standard.
In the SEC East there is just one team playing an SEC game with Kentucky hosting Mississippi State.
