Running back Ainias Smith - The sophomore tailback converted from wide receiver to running back at the end of the 2019 campaign. He served as the Aggies "change-of-pace" back in the season opening win against Vanderbilt. He rushed 10 times for 51 yards and a touchdown last week. Last season he underwhelmed against the TIde only catching two passes for 21 yards. The Aggies liked to get him the ball on the edge of the defense in week 1.

Defensive tackle Bobby Brown III - The junior interior defensive lineman is well respected throughout the league, earning Preseason All SEC honors from the SEC coaches. He is an athletic run-stuffer that provides cover to the Aggie linebackers to make plays behind him. Brown has accumulated 38 tackles in his 21 games but his impact is far bigger than the stat sheet.

Defensive end Demarvin Leal - The sophomore defensive lineman is one of the better young defensive lineman in the SEC. He is 6-foot-4, 290 pounds and plays with athleticism. In 13 career games, Leal has racked up 45 tackles, 7.5 for a loss and two sacks. The Tide's offensive line will have to keep an eye on him in order to protect Mac Jones.

The Alabama Crimson Tide enters the weekend's contest as a 17.5 point favorite. The Tide must keep an eye out for these six players in order to be successful and come out on top.
