Key notes from Bruce Feldman interview

  • It is hard for teams to be as sharp and impressive two weeks in a row and Alabama was phenomenal against Tennessee.   The bye week came at a great time for A&M and they are set up to potentially dethrone the top-ranked Crimson Tide.

  • Kevin Sumlin is 5-2 when his team is a double-digit underdog and he thrives in these types of games.

  • Texas A&M has the weapons at receiver to provide a deep threat against Alabama down the field.  The deep threat passing game will be a key for the Aggies on Saturday.

  • Don’t expect Trayveon Williams to have a 200-yard rushing game, but A&M’s ability to run the ball will be paramount and he will still have to be effective.  I don’t think that Alabama has seen the caliber of athletes on all three levels of the defense like A&M has on that side of the ball.

  • You see how well A&M is running the football this year and the team’s identity is more comfortable with where they are.  A&M has enough firepower to keep Alabama’s defense honest.

  • The entire Alabama defense is stacked and they are all rare talents who are extremely productive.  They are so loaded in the front seven and this game will be a four-quarter battle.

  • Trevor Knight has brought in leadership and maturity to the quarterback room at Texas A&M.  On the field, Mazzone has done a great job with Knight’s athleticism with the designed runs that he dials up.  When A&M was running the ball with Johnny it was a lot more improvised.

  • Accuracy has been an issue with Trevor Knight and this weekend he is going to have to take advantage of opportunities to be accurate and complete passes against a stout Alabama defense.

  • If A&M is able to go in and beat Alabama in Bryant-Denny, they have the best case in the country to be ranked number one.  Nothing this season would compare to taking down the top ranked Crimson Tide.
