The Texas A&M Aggies matchup against rival Alabama in a contest between two 4-1 SEC West teams. The winner will most likely be in control of their own destiny with regard to the division title and appearance in the SEC Championship game.

The Crimson Tide hope to re-establish themselves as national title contenders again after falling to the Longhorns while still retooling the offense behind quarterback Jalen Milroe. The Aggies and coach Jimbo Fisher have had two dominating double-digit league wins, but this would be a benchmark win for the program.

Both teams enter at 2-0 in the conference. Alabama has league wins over Ole Miss and Mississippi State over the past two weeks, while the Aggies have enjoyed victories over Auburn and Arkansas in the last two contests.

Milroe - who made his first collegiate start against the home-state Aggies last year - has had an up-and-down season but has found footing lately. He's completed 20 of 33 passes in the victories over the Rebels and Bulldogs, for 389 yards and one touchdown to go along with one interception.

The Aggies' latest star is wideout Ainias Smith, who needs just 45 yards through the air to be the first player in SEC history to record 2,000 receiving yards and 250-plus rushing yards, punt return yards, and kick return yards. Smith's latest feat was an 82-yard punt return for a touchdown against the Razorbacks in a game where he reached a career-high 202 all-purpose yards.
