THE VIDEO GAME!
How did the buzz for this video game lose its radiance? As quickly as Jimbo Fisher went off on Nick Saban back in May, everybody right away circled aroundOct 8 on the schedule and braced for another mega-showdown video game of the century-like environment. We anticipated ESPN’s “College GameDay” and/or SEC Network’s “SEC Nation” would choose school to sneak peek an outright face-off Saban and his previous assistant Fisher.
Perhaps it’s since they insisted it’s all water under the bridge. Or maybe it’s since the Aggies lost to Appalachian State and Mississippi State, and this video game does not have the exact same zest we believed it did preseason.

Saban as soon as again advised us of all the rat toxin that can sidetrack his group heading into a video game everybody else anticipates them to win. The Aggies can conserve their season with a win inTuscaloosa Alabama can not concentrate on vengeance or Jimbo and Saban’s summer season spat.
Besides, the Tide might not even have their beginning quarterback under center as Bryce Young recuperates from a shoulder injury suffered versusArkansas Will Jalen Milroe get his very first profession begin? Will we see more fireworks from Jahmyr Gibbs? Will Texas A&M have another quick start versus Pete Golding’s defense? We’ll learn under the lights Saturday night.
