re: The Men in the Trenches...Athlon Ranks Top Units

I don't think any sane Aggie expects us to beat Bama or LSU this year. Bama is a complete lost cause. Our only shot with LSU is it is a trap game for them between SC and Bama and we have a bye the week before and the game at home. I expect us to be big time underdogs in both. It will take some turnovers and a lot of luck either way.

The key for A&M for this year isn't winning those games though, it is the other 10. Can't expect to win them all but we aren't overmatched in any of them.

Also, the A&M OL now is far better than in '10 when those OT's were true fish but are now jrs. Add in the strong depth in the middle of the line and it should be formidable.

A&M certainly has a question make at QB in replacing Tannehill but essentially A&M has 4 QB's that have all been Top 3 in Texas over the last few years competing for that slot. Put a big OL and lots of skill talent around them and they should be fine, they have looked solid in practice. The question mark at QB is really what is causing A&M to be held back. If one of those QB's steps up A&M will be very dangerous.
