Texas A&M Football: 5 bold predictions for November 2018
By Shelbie Warr
1. The Aggies post a 3-1 record in the month of November.
Let’s get to work looking at exactly who the Aggies play down the stretch so I can really explain this prediction in vivid detail outside of just the simple number itself.
Texas A&M opens November on the road against Auburn. It is the last road game of the season for the Aggies and it seems to be the tradition for the road team to win this one in recent years. With the struggles that the Tigers have had, that should be an Aggie win easily.
We then move to a matchup with Ole Miss at Kyle Field. The team has recently struggled to beat Ole Miss at home, but I am confident that this is the season that changes. The Rebels have struggled on the defensive side of the ball, which means we will see a lot of Jace Sternberger and Trayveon Williams in this one for the Maroon and White in what should be a winning effort.
Next, the Aggies take on UAB. I am not even going to write in depth about this one because if the team loses here, they certainly don’t have their head coach of the future in Jimbo Fisher.
Then, to close the season, the Aggies look for their first win over LSU in what seems like forever. They haven’t beat the Bayou Bengals since joining the SEC and I can promise you that stings for this team like you wouldn’t believe. While I have this one down as a loss, I am hopeful that I am wrong.
All things considered, an 8-win season and a 3-1 November wouldn’t be all that disappointing for Texas A&M this year.
