Prediction

Coach Sumlin is on record saying that his team has yet to play a complete game this year, and a complete game is what it’s going to take to defeat Alabama.

The Aggies are no stranger to the role of underdog and already have road victories against No. 1 Alabama and No. 3 Auburn under Sumlin’s tenure in College Station. This Texas A&M team is the best team Alabama has played so far, and they might be the best team they will play this year. So I’m calling my shots:

  • The Aggies will commit just one turnover
  • Treyveon Williams cracks 100 yards rushing with a few 15 yard carries
  • The Aggie special teams unit scores a touchdown

Final score: Texas A&M 41 – Alabama 40
