About this episode

The episode previews the Texas A&M Aggies' upcoming season, discussing their strengths and challenges.

Each summer, we preview the teams on the Texas Longhorns' schedule, starting with Week 12 and working backward toward the start of the season. We start with the Texas A&M Aggies, who are coming off a historic season and a trip to the College Football Playoff, the most successful season in modern history for the team. They return a ton of high-level skill talent but are rebuilding on the offensive line, hoping to be buoyed by a stout, experienced defensive unit. What are the expectations for the Aggies in Year 3 under Mike Elko with a new offensive coordinator and an experienced quarterback? And what A&M tradition would Jay sacrifice for a National Championship?
