Texas A&M football has now lost two straight road games to SEC opponents. Here is a look at how some of the Aggies are trending after Week 10.
It seems like Texas A&M football has been inventing new ways to lose games every season. Aggie fans are no strangers to embarrassing loses, but that doesn’t make them any less painful to watch.
Texas A&M somehow managed to lose a game where they out-gained their opponent by 143 yards of total offense, won the time of possession battle by over 17 minutes, and only allowed 19 rushing yards. They even had a 10-point lead heading into the fourth quarter.
The worst part about this loss in particular was that this was one of the worst Auburn teams in recent memory. This was not the dominant Auburn program who was competing for National Championships in seasons past. Yet, Texas A&M found a way to hand them a much-needed victory.
Before moving on to Saturday’s return home to Kyle Field, here is a look at the highs and lows from a disappointing loss to Auburn.
Stock Up: Trayveon Williams
Trayveon Williams is without a doubt Texas A&M’s best offensive weapon. That remained true vs Auburn as he finished the game as the team’s leading rusher and receiver.
Despite disappearing in a few games, Williams has been the Aggie’s most consistent source of offense this season. He has only failed to gain over 70 yards of total offense three times this year, and Texas A&M lost all three of those games.
Williams was responsible for all three of Texas A&M’s touchdowns vs Auburn. He also contributed 182 yards of total offense. That number might have been slightly larger too if Fisher had elected to hand him the ball on the most critical third down of the game, rather than call a screen pass where quarterback Kellen Mond barely avoided what would have been his second interception of the day.
