Texas A&M saw themselves in a similar position before Saturday’s game against Tennessee. The Aggies had started the previous two seasons 5-0 before losing their next game.

However their double overtime thriller against Tennessee pushed A&M to their first 6-0 record since 1994. The Aggies could’ve made their last game a lot easier on their fans. They had a chance to put the game away with less than two minutes remaining before freshman Trayveon Williams had the ball knocked out of his hands and into the back of the end zone for touchback after breaking a 71-yard run.

They showed toughness when the Volunteers made a 21-7 fourth quarter run to push the game into overtime. The Aggies defense showed everyone how good they are on Saturday, forcing Tennessee into six turnovers, but if they want to keep up their undefeated season the offensive side of the ball needs to be a bit more consistent.

In order to beat Alabama in two weeks, the Aggies will need another great performance from Williams, who went for 217 yards and a touchdown against Tennessee. That Alabama defense is hard to beat, and if they are going to do so quarterback Trevor Knight needs to limit the turnovers (two interceptions Saturday).

It’s an uphill battle for the Aggie faithful, but it’s hard to complain when your team is 6-0 and is currently sitting sixth in the polls.
