2. The secondary stepped up, just like the Aggies needed

A year ago, the Aggies had one of the worst secondary units in the SEC. They finished second to last in the conference in terms of pass defense — not exactly what Jimbo Fisher wanted from his secondary, especially when his defensive line was playing so well.

However, in this game against Texas State, the secondary shined, forcing quite a few turnovers.

Cornerback Myles Jones notched two interceptions leading the team. It was the first time for the Aggies to have a player with two interceptions since Armani Watts did it in 2017 against ULL. Add in one from Roney Elam, who also notched a sack, and another from Leon O’Neal and you get a strong secondary performance on the night for sure.

Of course, again, you have to consider the abilities of the opponent, but even then this was a great performance by this unit and is a great omen for the Aggies as the season continues on.
