Preview

We’re still in September, but a matchup against a national championship favorite isn’t nothing new for Texas A&M.

The then-unranked Aggies welcomed No. 2 Clemson to Kyle Field two weeks ago, and while the Tigers ultimately came away with the 28-26 victory, there were plenty of positive takeaways for Texas A&M. The biggest was sophomore quarterback Kellen Mond, who threw for 430 yards, three touchdowns and zero turnovers and nearly completed a big fourth-quarter comeback.

“I was really impressed by their quarterback … we didn’t do a great job of containing him,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said after the game. “Even when we had the perfect call, we would be on the wrong shoulder, he would spin out, and next thing you know, he’s throwing some dang touchdown pass in the end zone. He’s a heck of a player.”

Mond has piled up 927 yards (824 passing, 103 rushing), nine touchdowns (six passing, three rushing) and zero interceptions through three games, which is a highly encouraging sign after the 4-star recruit struggled in his freshman season.

But while Mond passed his first major test of the 2018 campaign, he gets an even more difficult one Saturday on the road against arguably the most terrifying defense in the country.

Alabama is off to a very Alabama-esque start to the season, winning their first three games by an average of 47.3 points. The defense has allowed just 28 points, and 21 of them have come after the Tide were up by 30-plus points and took their foot off the gas.

Las week at Ole Miss, Alabama gave up a 75-yard touchdown on the first play from scrimmage, and then here were all of the Rebels’ offensive drives after that: punt (3-and-out), punt (3-and-out), fumble (28 yards on the drive), interception (first play of the drive), punt (34 yards on the drive), turnover on downs (32 yards on the drive), punt (3-and-out), punt (3-and-out), end of half (3 plays, 9 yards), punt (3-and-out), interception (Pick-six), punt (3-and-out), punt (3-and-out), punt (5-and-out), end of game (3 plays, 6 yards).

So, 15 possessions, nine punts, seven three-and-outs, three giveaways, one turnover on downs, and two drives closing out the second and fourth quarters. And not one trip inside the red zone.

The scary part–Alabama’s offense might be just as good, or even better. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has silenced the quarterback controversy by completing 72.0 percent of his throws for 646 yards (a silly 12.9 YPA), eight touchdowns and zero interceptions. Najee Harris and Damien Harris have combined for 381 rushing yards on 7.1 yards per carry. Oh yeah, and Jalen Hurts is still around to help throw defenses off-balance.

Nevertheless, the Tide were off to a similarly hot start last year and were given a tough 27-19 test by Texas A&M. Combine that with the Aggies’ performance against Clemson, and Nick Saban’s team won’t be taking this one lightly, even if they are 26-point favorites.

“It’s like climbing a mountain,” Saban said. “The higher you go, the more challenging it gets and the greater the focus needs to be and the more treacherous it can be. This is the best team we’ve played so far, so hopefully we’ll be able to continue to improve and have the right focus.”
