How to watch Alabama vs. Texas A&M game today? - Time, Channel, live Stream and starting QB October 7 | College Football Week 6
Alabama travels to College Station to lock horns with Texas A&M in one of SEC West's juiciest games. Both teams have a similar record, 4-1 overall, and 2-0 in conference play making this one of week six's biggest fixtures.
The Texas A&M Aggies arrive with strong momentum, coming off an impressive 34-22 win against the Arkansas Razorbacks in Arlington, marking their third consecutive win.
The loss to the Texas Longhorns revealed the weaknesses in Nick Saban's inexperienced team but the Crimson Tide have bounced back strongly since then, reeling off three consecutive wins. Two of those were convincing wins against Ole Miss and Mississippi State where the old animated Nick Saban reappeared on the sidelines.
Jimbo Fisher, one of the few former Saban assistants to have outwitted the coaching legend, accomplished this feat in 2021 when his Aggies triumphed over the Crimson Tide. He offered praise for the team Nick Saban has assembled, acknowledging their exceptional skills and prowess on the field.
"Alabama has no weaknesses. They’re a tremendous football team,' Fisher said. "They’re coached very well. (Nick Saban) will have his team ready to play, there is no doubt.”
Saban was under no illusions as to the task awaiting his team against the Aggies rushers at Kyle Field.
"I think we got to do a much better job of having a firm pocket and protecting the quarterback against really good pass rushers."
