Stats and data in this article are from PFF, Game on Paper, and Two Deep unless stated otherwise.

It has been a shaky season for QB Marcel Reed, who is in his fourth year at Texas A&M. Among the 70 college QBs with 200 or more dropbacks this season, Reed has the seventh-fewest yards per attempt (6.1), 10th-fewest passing TDs (7), and eighth-most INTs (6).

Partly as a result of Reed’s underwhelming play, the Aggies’ aerial attack is in just the fifth percentile in EPA/pass (-0.16). Texas A&M’s ground game is in the 60th percentile in EPA/rush (0.06), so pounding the rock and keeping the ball away from Alabama might just be the best course of action in this game.

As for the Crimson Tide, QB Keelon Russell has been as good as advertised, logging the 10th-most yards per attempt (9.0) and ninth-highest adjusted completion percentage (78.5%) in the same 70-QB sample from above. This has landed Alabama’s offense in the 67th percentile in EPA/pass (0.16).

Despite Russell’s solid metrics, he did have 2 of his 4 INTs come against #11 Tennessee in the double-digit loss in Week 7. Taking care of the football will be a primary focus for head coach Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide on Saturday.

A third loss would prove to be costly for an Alabama program that has its sights set on making the College Football Playoffs. Missing out on the postseason could add some heat to DeBoer’s seat this offseason.

Over on PrizePicks, “Yes” for the Crimson Tide to make the playoffs has a 1.66x payout, while “No” holds a 2.12x payout.
