Alabama head coach Nick Saban is ready for Saturday’s matchup against Texas A&M.

The energy is crazy in Tuscaloosa, but two boys got the chance of a lifetime on Thursday.

Luke and Woods asked a question to Saban on his weekly radio show. Both wanted to know how he thought the Crimson Tide could beat the Aggies. Saban gave an answer only he could provide. Everyone broke out in laughter, but they knew Saban is serious.

“If I have to give a short answer, we have to play damn good,” Saban said. “Without being specific about details, we have to play damn good.”

Saban smiled at Luke and Woods, and the room cheered in approval of Saban’s answer. Jimbo Fisher and the Aggies beat Alabama at Kyle Field last year. Texas A&M brought in the No. 1 recruiting class for 2022, and it started a kerfuffle between Saban and Fisher in the offseason. The Aggies have not been good as advertised, but they will come in ready to Tuscaloosa.

We will see what happens this weekend.
