Texas A&M (4-3, 1-3 SEC) faces No. 13 Alabama (5-2, 2-2 SEC) on Saturday in Tuscaloosa. The Aggies enter the game after a shutout win against The Citadel, while Alabama continues to struggle offensively with only 201 total yards in their last game. Quarterback Keelon Russell has not thrown for 200 yards in two losses this season, leading to increased scrutiny on the offense. For Texas A&M to challenge Alabama effectively, quarterback Marcel Reed must connect on high-percentage throws, and the running game needs to perform at four yards per carry or better. The game begins at 2:30 p.m. and will be broadcast on ABC.
