2. Texas A&M needs to finish games

Yes, they were up by two scores down the stretch and there wasn’t much to worry about no matter what happened with Arkansas’ offense. However, that won’t always be the case and this has been an issue for the Aggies so far this season.

They didn’t score in the fourth quarter, allowed Arkansas to put up two touchdowns and simply ran the ball up the gut and waited for that to work.

That isn’t going to fly when the game is closer than this one was, which may just be the case down the stretch for the Aggies when they face off against LSU and Auburn. They need to not allow these garbage time scores and yards.

Texas A&M needs to, for lack of better phrasing, step on their throats and continue to win in dominating fashion if they want to be respected up with the big guns.
