When the dust settled the Aggies had a 41-0 blowout/shutout win. QB Marcel Reed was 8-of-13 for 130 yards and a TD. Jamarion Morrow scored three times on the ground on eight carries for 54 yards.

The defense wasn’t terrible but they had trouble getting off the field on the Vols’ 35:44 in time of possession. Alabama has lost consecutive games now, scoring a combined 27 points in those outings.
As for Texas A&M, they demolished the Citadel last weekend thanks to 26 first downs, 501 total yards and zero turnovers. The defense gave up just 183 yards, 12 first downs and 5-of-15 on third downs. The Aggies should make for a tricky opponent but Alabama should still have the advantage.
