Texas A&M is aiming for another upset over Alabama, but the Aggies are entering hostile...
Texas A&M, which ranks near the bottom in the nation in sacks, will need to improve its pass rush if it wants to limit Alabama.TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Jimbo Fisher called out his one-time mentor Nick Saban in the offseason. Oddsmakers believe Fisher is about to pay a big price for his ill-mannered approach to his old boss.
Saban, who’s won six national titles at Alabama and seven total, was in his sixth season in Tuscaloosa, Ala., when the Aggies pulled off a memorable upset in 2012 behind quarterback Johnny Manziel, who won the Heisman Trophy that year. This also means A&M five-star freshman Conner Weigman could make his debut at Alabama at some point Saturday night — just as King did.Freshman Jalen Milroe, a former high school star from the Houston area, may earn plenty of playing time in place of reigning Heisman winner Bryce Young, who hurt his shoulder in the first half of Alabama’s 49-26 win at Arkansas and is questionable for the A&M game.
The affable Foster has apologized for his multiple low snaps, but if they continue, Fisher might be forced to turn to backup Matthew Wykoff, who filled in for Foster during the early-season absence.A&M beat Alabama last year in part because of a strong defensive line’s ability to get to Young, sacking him four times. Most of those linemen have moved on, however, and the Aggies have done a poor job of replacing them through the first third of the season.
