Many sports personalities have the Aggies getting an upset victory over the Tide at home. Alabama knows that a win puts it in control of the SEC West with an opportunity to run the table to a Southeastern Conference Championship. A former Tide defensive lineman understands this is Alabama’s most important game to this point. Jesse Williams, an Australian native, transferred to the University of Alabama from junior college in 2011. He played on back-to-back BCS National Championship teams in 2011 and 2012. Williams took on Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M at Bryant-Denny Stadium in 2012. It was the first season for the Aggies in the SEC. No one gave TAMU a chance to defeat the Tide in Tuscaloosa (Ala.), but Manziel did it.
Williams made plays for Alabama’s defense, but he remembers the 24-29 loss.
He shared a photo to Twitter of him tackling Manziel, getting the current team prepared to face the Aggies.

Jimbo Fisher beat Coach Saban two years ago at Kyle Field. He is looking for a second victory, but Saban wants to prove all doubters wrong about his team. It is going to be a fun atmosphere at the 12th Man for this marquee contest.
