A&M can win the SEC but they need to have a change in offensive identity to do it. They have the facilities and recruiting base to do so. Sumlin could even be the guy to do it, but not based on their current philosophy.
You have to run the ball in this conference and do so effectively to reach that goal. I don't feel like going back and looking at every SEC champ over the last 20 years, but I did look into it a while back and every SEC champ finished in the top 5 in the conference in rushing for the last 10 years. Most years they were either #1 or #2 in rushing if I recall right.
A&M's best finish in the SEC was 2012. They finished #2 in rushing in the SEC that year. I don't think it's a coincidence that that year happens to also be the same year they rushed the ball the best.
