Texas A&M Football: 2017 midseason grades by position
By Dana Becker
Daniel LaCamera and Shane Tripucka have both shined in special teams for the Aggies this year. LaCamera has Texas A&M second in the SEC in makes behind only Florida and third in terms of percentage made, making 14 of 16 field goals and all 25 of his extra-point attempts.
Tripucka and the Aggies are third in the conference in punting.
In the return game, Texas A&M is just eighth in return yards per kickoff and fifth in punt return yards per return.
Best Game
LaCamera sank four field goals and an extra-point, accounting for 13 of the 19 points A&M scored in a win over Florida. That included the game-winner from 32 yards out in the final minute.
He also booted through kicks of 25, 43 and 46 yards in the contest.

Worst Game
With not much to nit-pick on in regards to LaCamera and Tripucka, you have to look to the return game vs. Alabama for issues. Texas A&M had just 55 yards on two kickoff and one punt return, coming up short of the upset.
When you are facing a team the caliber of the Crimson Tide, getting a break or two in the return game can swing the momentum. Kirk and company were unable to do that.
