2. Soso Jamabo runs all over the Aggies

Texas A&M lost a lot of talent on defense. Not only did they lose possibly their most talented defensive player in program history in Myles Garrett, they also lost their best defensive back in Justin Evans.

The defensive line still has a lot of experience. Three of Texas A&M’s four starting lineman are seniors. Yet, junior defensive tackle Kingsley Keke is the returning sack leader after Garrett’s departure. The loss of Daeshon Hall will hurt as well.

Soso Jamabo is one of the most underrated running backs in the country. He’s a five-star talent and rushed for more than 500 yards last year with limited carries. Jamabo is now the guy in the UCLA offense and should breakout.

Texas A&M struggled against teams that had strong running games to finish off the 2016 campaign. Derrius Guice and the LSU Tigers ran all over the Aggies on their way to a 54-39 victory. Even Jesse Ertz and the Kansas State Wildcats defeated Texas A&M in the Texas Bowl.
