A year ago, Texas A&M managed a major upset win over the Crimson Tide in College Station. Then, the Aggies turned around and got the #1 recruiting class in the country, and their coach, Jimbo Fisher, made all kinds of waves over the offseason firing off at Nick Saban about it.
This rematch garnered a whole lot of hype in the offseason, but it has since lost its luster after the Aggies dropped early season losses to Appalachian State and Mississippi State. It’s still one of the CBS Primetime slots in a double-header, though, and could wind up being must-see TV, as the Aggies are without starting QB Max Johnson, and Alabama could possibly be playing without Heisman QB Bryce Young.
