Alabama Crimson Tide Preview

The Crimson Tide were able to manhandle the Mississippi State Bulldogs 40-17, which could have been even worse of a defeat since they were up 31-10 at halftime. Their offense looked great in that performance, but they now face stronger opposition on the road that they must take care of if they want a chance at the National Championship game later down the road.

They consistently generate an average of 363.2 total yards per game, of which 195.4 derive from their passing game. On the defensive side, they permit opposing teams to accumulate 298.2 total yards, with 198.2 attributed to passing yards. If their offensive performance sees improvement, this discrepancy will certainly become more attractive.

Their offense maintains a scoring rate of 32.2 points per game, while allowing only 14.2 points from their opponents. This signifies a healthy safety margin, though there is always room for further enhancement. When facing a formidable Aggies defense, these statistics could indeed shift unfavorably.

Quarterback Jalen Milroe notably boosted his quarterback rating with his recent exceptional performance, amassing 838 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions. His quarterback rating now stands at 80.3, ranking him 18th in national averages.

Texas A&M Aggies Preview

The Aggies had great defense against the Arkansas Razorbacks in their last game, slowing them down to a 34-22 ending in the Aggies favor. They will need this same intensity if they want to succeed against the Crimson Tide.

On average, they amass 443.4 total yards per game, out of which 283 are attributed to passing. When it comes to their defensive prowess, they have outperformed the Crimson Tide by allowing only 253.8 total yards, of which 157.6 originate from passing plays. The key to their success hinges on making the Crimson Tide uncomfortable on offense.

Their scoring average stands at 38.6 points per game, and they grant their opponents just 18.6 points when playing away. Facing a formidable defense like the Crimson Tide’s, their offense cannot afford any off-days.

Quarterback Connor Weigman has been steadily enhancing his performance with each game, currently tallying 979 yards, eight touchdowns, and two interceptions. His QBR of 87.5 ranks seventh nationally. Securing a victory against a quality team like this would undoubtedly bolster his confidence and the team’s success moving forward.
