The Texas A&M Aggies return to action with a tune-up game.
return to action following a bye week, they know that every game from here on out is essentially a playoff game. Luckily, they have a rehearsal of sorts coming up next.
On Saturday night, A&M will play host to the New Mexico State Aggies in its final non-conference game of the season. New Mexico State looks like a very easy opponent on paper, currently sitting at 2-7 and near the bottom of the Conference USA standings. While A&M should win decisively, it's still important to show up and play its best.As one would expect from a 2-7 Group of Five team, the stats are not kind to New Mexico State.
Defensively, it's unfortunately a similar story. New Mexico State ranks dead last in the conference in scoring defense , ninth in total and rushing defense and eighth in passing defense . Considering it hasn't faced a Power Five team all season, New Mexico State's defense may be one of the worst in the country.
On A&M's side, the game plan is clear. Offensively, the ground game is the bread and butter, as A&M ranks second in the SEC in rushing offense . However, the loss of top running back Le'Veon Moss for the season will put a dent in the offense.Texas A&M Aggies Not Taking New Mexico State Lightly
