Texas A&M football returns to the gridiron for an all-Aggie affair for the 2018 Spring Game. The team was split into two squads: maroon and white. Who has the advantage?
The 2018 Maroon and White game is finally here. Moreso than previous years, the 2018 edition promises to be a spectacle the likes of which have never been seen in College Station. Although the pomp and circumstance have been almost deafening there is still a game to be played.
Kellen Mond and Nick Starkel will lead their respective teams. The maroon team, featuring Starkel, has a large chunk of players most likely to suit up with the first team offense in the fall. Trayveon Williams, Jace Sternberger and Jhamon Ausbon are all the top players at their positions.
The white team will counter with a strong presence on both lines. The majority of the potential first teamers on both sides of the ball will don white jerseys on Saturday. That includes Carson Green, Erick McCoy, Colton Prater on offense and Michael Clemons, Daylon Mack and Landis Durham on defense.
