Best game every week on the 2017 college football schedule

Week 6: Alabama vs. Texas A&M

Depending on how things go for Kevin Sumlin and Co. in the early goings, this could be a make-or-break game for the Aggies. If they fall to UCLA and/or Arkansas, then this becomes a must-win game for a coach who’s already been placed on the hot seat by his athletic director.

If they come into this contest hot with no losses, then this game takes on special significance. Either way, College Station will be rocking when the Crimson Tide come to town.

The Aggies lost some key players to the NFL this past season, most significantly Myles Garrett and Trevor Knight. Without Garrett wreaking havoc on the edge, defensive coordinator John Chavis will need to have a rock-solid game plan in place to stop Bo Scarbrough and Co. from running them out of the stadium.

Without Knight behind center, it’s going to fall to either senior Jake Hubenak or redshirt freshman Nick Starkel to take the baton and run with it.
