Texas A&M Football: 3 biggest questions facing Aggies in spring 2018

With the Texas A&M football Spring Game just around the corner, taking place at Kyle Field on April 14, three key questions should be addressed in practice.

Texas A&M football enters their spring practice with a few new things in place including a heated quarterback battle and first-year head coach. The constant conversation surrounding the end positioning of the SEC West in 2018, one that is constantly at the forefront of the college football world, should involve Texas A&M at or near the top of the standings.

However, there’s a ton of work that the Aggies have to do in spring drills to get going for an extremely tough 2018 slate. Even the non-conference slate features an early contest against one of the best teams in the nation, and with a tenacious defense, in the Clemson Tigers.

Knocking off Clemson would put Texas A&M in perfect position to finally put together a complete effort throughout the regular season, and not just coast to the finish line. Texas A&M made a habit of positioning themselves as a possible dark horse National Championship contender, on some occasions, in the past five years under former head coach Kevin Sumlin. When the Aggies would do that, they never finished with more than eight wins on all the teams not led by Johnny Manziel.

Entering spring practice in College Station, newly hired head coach Jimbo Fisher seems to be cautiously working in his system and culture with the Aggies’ locker room. He’s putting the quarterback battle at the forefront, which is a positive sign.

Texas A&M had some pretty obvious faults during the Sumlin years, especially in terms of quarterback retention. This seems like the first time in a decade where the Aggies kept all their eligible quarterbacks from the previous year. Granted, we haven’t started the 2018 season yet, so we don’t know how that turns out.

Here’s a look at the three biggest questions and concerns that the Texas A&M Aggies must answer in spring practice in 2018.
