Sumlin was referring to senior signal-caller Dak Prescott, who has thrown seven touchdowns and zero interceptions this season and also fared well in last season’s 48-31 victory over the Aggies. Fred Ross and De’Runnya Wilson have combined for 420 receiving yards and two touchdowns while Fred Brown has 10 receptions.

-WR Josh Reynolds has played well in the shadow of superstar freshman Christian Kirk.

Sitting at 4-0 Straight Up (SU) and 3-1 Against The Spread (ATS), the Aggies will look to improve heading into Week 5.

Texas A&M opened this campaign by pouncing on 15th-ranked Arizona State, 38-17. Coming off a 28-21 overtime win over Arkansas on Saturday, the Aggies have both reasons for optimism and flaws that need correcting in their ever long journey to become a quality SEC defense.

The Aggies have run 282 plays for an average of 70.5 per game. By the time the Bulldogs return from College Station this Saturday, we will know if they belong in the mix for teams with a chance to get to Atlanta or are merely a program that will decide who does. They allow a completion rate of 66.7% to their opponents, 116th in the nation.

LSU and Ole Miss are already a game up on the rest of the West while preseason pretender Auburn stumbled out of the gate with a 0-2 start. He says the audio should be fixed for this weekends game against Mississippi State. “They’ve got a few guys that can go down the field and get it, but we’re a little bit excited about the idea of going up against it”. Defensively, Texas A&M is allowing 22 points and 367 yards per game.

With Texas A&M approaching the meat of its SEC schedule, it’s an opportunity to truly evaluate where this year’s Aggie defense stands under new defensive coordinator John Chavis.

Texas A&M is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games at home.

According to oddsmakers at GTBets, Texas A&M is now listed as a 6.5-point favorite at home against Mississippi State.

Both teams are 3-0 SU when leading after three quarters. The Texas A&M Aggies ground game is averaging 186.5 yards per contest, and Tra Carson leads the way with 320 yards and three touchdowns.
