Mike Sherman’s second season as head coach at Texas A&M begins at home as they host New Mexico. Last season the Aggies gave up 370 yards of offense at UNM, but still won 28-22. This year A&M will be facing a Lobo team without Rodney Ferguson and without a 1,000 yard rusher most likely for the first time in eight seasons. The Lobos return six starters and a good quarterback in Donovan Porterie, but he will not have many weapons as the team is going to a spread offense, no-huddle look with a higher tempo under new head coach Mike Locksley and New Mexico is not currently equipped for this style and doesn’t have the personnel for it right away. Defensively, they return only three starters and will struggle to stop an explosive A&M offense.
The Aggies are a veteran team that returns 10 starters on offense and 6 on defense. Jerrod Johnson leads an offense that figures to put up points at will. Jeff Fuller is a 6’4” wideout who was a 2nd team freshman All-American. They also return all five starters on the offensive line, so the Aggies’ rushing attack should improve. Defensively, the team boasts depth in their front seven and has several options at all positions and they are led by linebacker Von Miller who had a strong spring. The Aggies struggled last season and will not overlook the opportunity to beat up on a rebuilding opponent tonight.
