Way-Too-Early Staff Predictions: Week 5 Texas A&M Aggies vs. Mississippi State Bulldogs

The Texas A&M Aggies proceed their SEC schedule in Week 5 once they face coach Mike Leach and the Mississippi State Bulldogs on the street at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, Mississippi.

It’ll technically be the primary designated street recreation, for the reason that Week 4 matchup towards Arkansas at AT&T Stadium within the Southwest Traditional is taken into account a impartial website recreation.

Final season, the Aggies and Bulldogs met in an early October tilt with Mississippi State handing Texas A&M a 26-22 loss.

Mississippi State is coming off a disappointing 7-6 total document and 4-4 convention tally, which tied them for third place within the SEC. This needs to be a giant yr for this system, as quarterback Will Rogers now has two years of expertise in Leach’s Air Raid offense.

The offensive line would be the greatest query mark for the offense as each tackles are new from final season. But when issues go effectively, this offense has a chance to be probably the greatest within the league.

The Aggies, who went 8-4 final season, won’t solely be seeking to erase final season’s disappointing 8-4 end however can even be out to erase the reminiscence of final season’s head-scratching loss to the Bulldogs.

The Aggies are ought to have the expertise benefit on this one, notably on the defensive aspect of the ball. Nonetheless Starkville isn’t a simple place to play and coming off of powerful back-to-back matchups with Miami and Arkansas, the Aggies may very well be a bit banged up.

Regardless of that, I anticipate them to carry on in a decent one.

The one phrase to explain the matchup in Starkville is ache. Final yr, Will Rogers placed on a present in Faculty Station with over 400 passing yards, three touchdowns, and a passer ranking of 152.8. Will that be the case once more?

Enjoyable reality: Texas A&M quarterback Max Johnson threw 4 touchdowns and accomplished 63 % of his throws on the street whereas at LSU. He does it once more on the best way to a win.

This one’s about revenge. The Aggies are a extra gifted program this season, identical to they had been final season. However it one way or the other did not translate on the sector as A&M’s loss to the Bulldogs final yr was one of many greater head-scratchers of the SEC schedule. This yr will probably be totally different. And it would get ugly because the Ags protection will dominate.

It is Mississippi State and coach Mike Leach, so the Aggies higher have their greatest offensive foot ahead. It is a simple recreation to look previous with the journey to Alabama the next week. I am betting the Aggies will not be wanting forward.

This will probably be no cakewalk for the Aggies. The schedule doesn’t line up effectively for the Aggies on this recreation. It’s shoved between two of the toughest video games on the schedule, Arkansas and Alabama. Mississippi State may have the quarterback edge on this matchup with Will Rogers. That’s the solely edge the Bulldogs may have over the Aggies. This recreation has “entice recreation” written throughout it, however the Aggies nonetheless squeeze out the win.
