The hype entering Saturday’s game between top-ranked Alabama and No. 15 Texas A&M revolves around the Crimson Tide’s
dominant defense and the Aggies’ prolific offense. But that only tells part of the story. It overshadows Alabama quarterback AJ
McCarron and Texas A&M defensive end Damontre Moore. McCarron is a Heisman Trophy candidate who hasn’t thrown an interception. Moore is second in the
nation in tackles for losses and tied for second in sacks. Alabama’s offense and Texas A&M’s defense might both be a bit underrated, but
both teams know these units can’t be overlooked. Texas A&M defensive coordinator Mark Snyder says: “there are no weaknesses”
in Alabama’s offense. Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban praised Texas A&M’s defense saying: “they are very, very aggressive.” The Play by Play announcer for Alabama for the last 30 years said “I do expect it to be a close ball game.”
Pre-game with Dave and Dave starts at 1:30 and Kick off slated for 2:30 here on 1620 WTAW.
