With the season opener fast approaching, it’s time to take a quick look at Alabama’s bodybag opponent for the kick off to the 2022 season. Season openers are always a bit difficult, as there’s not a whole lot out there for me to really study about the team before the Tide plays them.
That said, the Aggies do return their QB and RB from their 2021 squad that went 11-3 and won the Mountain West, as well as second-year head coach Blake Anderson. Anderson is a passing game guru that was part of the offensive explosion for Southern Miss in the early 2010s, a couple of huge seasons for North Carolina after that, and then a 6-year run as head coach for Arkansas State, where he took the Red Wolves to a bowl game every year and won two Sun Belt championships.
