Following two blowout victories to start conference play, No. 1 Alabama (5-0, 2-0 in the SEC) will look to continue its dominant run this week when it travels to Texas A&M (4-1, 2-0) on Saturday at 6:15 p.m. CT. The Crimson Tide is fresh off a 66-3 victory over Ole Miss last week, its biggest win since 1979. That win came after a 59-0 blowout of Vanderbilt in Week 4. In Alabama’s past five games against SEC teams it has scored 50 or more points four times, outscoring opponents 260-34.
This week’s matchup projects to be a little more challenging, although not by much. Alabama is currently a 26.5-point favorite against Texas A&M, a team it has beaten four straight times by a combined total of 182-79. Nevertheless, Alabama head coach Nick Saban said his team is won’t be taking the Aggies lightly this weekend.
“This is by far, I think, the strongest team that we've played to this point all the way around,” Saban said. “This is certainly going to be a big challenge for us.”
