Something will have to give on Saturday as the only two remaining SEC schools without a league loss will dance in College Station.

The last time No. 11 Alabama played Texas A&M on the road, the Crimson Tide fell to a clock-expiring field goal.

Both sides have won three straight amidst recent quarterback changes.

Alabama’s Jalen Milroe reclaimed the gig in Nick Saban’s short-leashed quarterback carousel and has played tremendously since.

He has completed 81.8 percent of his passes and has thrown for 389 yards in the back-to-back wins against Ole Miss and Mississippi State.

But the Crimson Tide offense hasn’t been exactly domineering; it is raking in just 363.2 total yards of offense to the Aggies’ 443.4.

He threw for only 210 yards along with a 58.2 QBR, but the Aggies defense limited Arkansas to 174 total yards on the day.

Texas A&M ranks fifth in yards allowed, conceding only 253.8, which has allowed its new-and-improved offense plenty of breathing room.

More importantly, the Aggies have conceded just 2.9 yards per carry.

Betting on College Football?

Alabama is a run-first offense as it runs the rock 61.6 percent of the time.

This pressure should force Milroe to throw in uncomfortable situations as Alabama attempts only 30.8 passes a game, which sits at 88th in college football.

With those forces butting heads plus two quarterbacks having everything to prove, this will reflect an air-tight margin.

The play: Texas A&M +2.5.
