Texas A&M Football: 5 reasons Aggies will beat NC State in Gator Bowl
By Shelbie Warr
1. Every Aggie has shown a dedication to this team that is unmatched.
NC State will be without two big cogs in the machine as leading receiver Kelvin Harmon and second leading tackler Germaine Pratt have made the decision to sit this one out to prepare for the NFL Draft.
This is where the Aggies’ strongest advantage lies. First of all, if NC State is not operating at full tilt, playing against a Texas A&M team that seems to be doing the exact opposite despite losing Wilson and Alaka to injury. Texas A&M doesn’t have a single player sitting out this game to focus on any other kind of future other than the game ahead of them. That, to me, is a big deal.
The Aggies, each and every one of them, have bought into Jimbo Fisher and his staff. They are taking everything that the man says to heart and are doing everything they can to turn this program around and bring it to the place it could be, the place it deserves to be. As a result, each and every player has decided to play in this bowl game to help the team emerge victoriously.

These players are sticking by the program and focusing on the goal they set out to achieve before moving on to more personal goals centered around a possible NFL future.
