Determined and confident, Texas A&M tired of hearing Alabama hype

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Texas A&M offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone has been a regular provider of comic relief during his weekly meetings with the media this season.

The veteran coach is usually good for a one-liner or two during his roughly 10-minute Q&A session with reporters, and this particular Tuesday was no different in that regard.

But as question after question about Alabama's greatness rolled in, Mazzone seemed to become almost annoyed.

Do you feel you can have success running the ball versus Alabama?

Mazzone: "Yep."

Why is that? Because I don't think Tennessee had a lot of success doing that .
