In advance of Alabama's game against Texas A&M on Saturday, AL.com talked to the The Bryan-College Station Eagle's Travis L. Brown. He answered five questions about the Aggies and their matchup with the top-ranked Tide.
1. How has Texas A&M recovered from the shocking season-opening loss to UCLA?
A: Experience, plain and simple. So far this season, the Aggies have played 18 true freshmen and 11 redshirt freshman. Those players, many in important roles like the defensive secondary and quarterback, have grown up over the last four weeks.
