If the Tide get past the Aggies, they get a week off before facing LSU in Baton Rouge on Nov. If this sounds like Ole Miss with a running game, that's a pretty accurate description. The Aggies have a ferocious pass rush, an experienced quarterback (Trevor Knight) who has beaten Alabama before, a deep receiving corps and a resurgent run game. Potential first loss: Saturday's visit from Texas A&M is the obvious choice.
But history is not on Alabama's side here. And yes, coach Nick Saban's greatest strength is his ability to coax a consistent performance out of an age group not given to consistent behavior. Yes, Alabama combines a defense that ranks eighth in the nation in yards per play allowed (4.3)-and has scored eight touchdowns-with an offense that ranks ninth in the nation in yards per play (seven) and fifth in the nation in yards per rush (6.2). That's a terrible jinx to lay on a team that will close a tough pre-bye week stretch with perhaps its toughest opponent all season.
