Nick Saban accuses Texas A&M of manufacturing crowd noise at Kyle Field
Published:
Former Alabama coach Nick Saban believes Texas A&M pipes in crowd noise during games at Kyle Field.
Saban made that accusation during his weekly appearance on the Pat McAfee Show. He was asked about the home field advantage in College Station ahead of Texas A&M’s CFP matchup with Miami on Saturday.
“This is the noisiest place, plus they pipe in noise,” Saban said. “Guaranteed. They pipe in noise. You can’t hear yourself think when you’re playing out there. It’s a huge advantage when they play at home, especially for the defense. Especially getting off the spot. It makes it really difficult for the offensive line.”
Saban indicated he used to complain to the SEC league office about what he believes is piped-in crowd noise.
Saban also added that Miami’s ability to run the ball might be able to mitigate the issues Texas A&M’s crowd can cause.
“Miami can get under center and they can run the ball,” Saban said. “That might be helpful to be able to settle them down from a noise standpoint.”
Kickoff in College Station is set for 12 p.m. ET on Saturday afternoon.
