Texas A&M Aggies

Texas A&M finally won a game thanks to their defense.  While South Carolina isn’t exactly an offensive juggernaut, the Aggies played poorly on offense and came away with a two score SEC football victory.  That’s not something we’ve been able to say very often about the Aggies.

Impact Moving Forward

-Continued steady momentum growth

The Aggies are now sitting at 5-0 with 3 SEC football wins under their belt.  As positive of a sign as that is, the real meat of their schedule begins now. The play back-to-back games against the SEC East (Tennessee) and SEC West (Alabama) leaders with a bye sandwiched in-between.  If the Aggies can knock off Tennessee, look out.  Their showdown with Alabama in Tuscaloosa could wind up being a top 5 matchup.
