No. 2: Texas A&M is loaded with weapons at the receiver position

Alabama needs to be prepared for the Aggies’ receivers.

Texas A&M is stocked at receiver and can throw any type of pass catcher at a defense. The Aggies have huge receivers, fast receivers, receivers that can return punts, receivers can that lineup at the running back position, receivers that can play the slot and take big hits.

Simply put, Alabama doesn’t have the defensive firepower to stop all these weapons.

Alabama does not have many games on its schedule where it is simply outgunned. Their upcoming game against Texas A&M is one of those rare games where the Crimson Tide better hope their opponent plays sloppy.

If Texas A&M is as efficient as it has been this season in involving all of the team’s talented receivers, then the Alabama secondary is going to be sliced up.
