Aggie offense set to be legendary, SEC fricked

Texas A&M had the best offense in college football. Oregon and Louisiana Tech scored more points per possession, but they did that against lesser competition (Oregon played one elite defense and flopped) and with significantly better average starting field position. A&M led the country with 44 yards/possession (6 more than Oregon). When we account for competition, field position, and points scored, and drop non-competitive drives (when the game is decided and backups are playing), Texas A&M was .33 points/possession better than any other team and a full half point better than Oregon.

And the scary part is that the Aggie offense didn't peak until the end of the season. A&M had 5 of the 8 best offensive performances by opponent-adjusted EP3 (the best available metric for a team's overall offensive performance) for the season in their last 5 games against FBS opponents. Let me put that another way. There were 732 games between FBS teams in the 2012 season. Five of the 8 best offensive performances in those 732 games came from Texas A&M, and all of those five came after October 26.

I agree, by comparison even Georgia's offense is boring.

If a few pieces fall in place, Texas A&M could have the best offense in the history of college football. The offensive line is littered with NFL talent. Mike Evans and Ricky Seals-Jones will give more defensive coordinators nightmares than any receiving duo in college football, and Manziel will have a half dozen other suitable options when he wants to mix things up. Christine Michael left a bigger hole than most realize because of his off-field issues in 2012, but Malena and Trey Williams were both top 30 runners in 2012 and Brandon Williams has the talent to break the top 10. And then there's Manziel. He was the best player in college football as a redshirt freshman in a new system. That, of course, is the biggest piece, but if he plays Texas A&M will be tough to stop.

"If a few pieces fall into place, like convincing our best linemen to leave the NFL and come back to College Station, and some intense therapy for our quarterback, we may have an offense that will challenge for second in the West this year."

to be fair, Florida was their season opener. It's hard to have things clicking for an entire game week 1. Florida adjusted and shut out aTm in the second half. Aggies got better after that game.
LSU played aTm very well and stopped them mid season. I think they made adjustments from that game as well and became even better the rest of the season.
both losses allowed the team to see what those defenses did, and I think aTm's ability to take advantage of the looks the defense gave them got better.

A&M hasn't lost a game since I've been a member. Coincidence?
