In that game, the Alabama offense exploded for three touchdowns on its first three possessions before slowing down, allowing the Gators to get back in the game. Florida gave itself a chance by forcing the Crimson Tide to punt on three consecutive series in the second quarter.
Aggies floundering offensively: The most obvious difference between this SEC road game and Alabama's win over Florida is the caliber of the opposing offense.
Florida's defense got off the field in the second quarter and handed the football over to an offense that ranks first nationally in yards per rush this season. The Gators found holes in Alabama's defense with creative play-calling and quality offensive line play.
Injury woes: Alabama got some bad news in the wake of its win over Ole Miss. Sophomore running back Jase McClellan will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury he suffered in the fourth quarter of that game. But the Crimson Tide have enough backs in the stable to cope with his loss. Jones has played sparingly after a strong campaign, but George had been a mainstay in the Aggies' secondary until he was injured against Arkansas.
Matthews was expected to be the team's starting center after missing the season but had played limited snaps this season. Those injuries, along with the injury to King at quarterback and issues with the team's receiver depth, are putting the Aggies' depth the test.

How well that success in the run game translates against Auburn could be the determining factor in the outcome. Auburn ran for yards on 46 attempts against Ole Miss last week and limited the Rebels to four yards per carry.
But replicating that against the Aggies won't be easy, as indicated by the prolific outing from Spiller and Achane in last year's meeting. Nix is finding his stride as a passer, but getting Tank Bigsby going on the ground is a prerequisite for Auburn's success.
Date : Saturday, Nov. With the Aggies coming off a bye and playing at home, they are well-positioned to keep rolling. Which college football picks can you make with confidence in Week 10, and which Top 25 team will get stunned?
