WATCH: Alabama QB Jalen Hurts discusses challenges of playing Texas A&M
When the Alabama Crimson Tide take on the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday night at Kyle Field, they’ll be squaring off against one of the hottest teams in the conference.
After a devastating Week 1 collapse against UCLA, the Aggies have won four-straight games and enter the matchup against the No. 1 Crimson Tide feeling confident.
Alabama QB Jalen Hurts knows his squad will be taking on a strong team, and said he and his teammates aren’t taking anything for granted during practice and film study this week:
“They’ve been in a lot of close games,” he said. “They just had a game where they came from behind. When you’re playing SEC ball, you expect to play a really good team. For us, we have to go out there and practice and prepare well this week.”
Freshman QB Kellen Mond has developed into a solid dual-threat option and RBs Trayveon Williams and Keith Ford are difficult to handle for opposing defenses.
See if the Crimson Tide can continue their dominant play on Saturday night at 6:15 p.m. Central time on ESPN.
