Texas A&M Football: 3 takeaways from blowout win over Kent State
The Texas A&M Football team’s offense isn’t as bad as it may seem
On the surface, scoring just 41 points against one of the worst returning defenses in the country seems like a relatively bad thing. I mean, in their last contest, Kent State allowed Buffalo, a MAC team, to score 70 points.
And heck, if things had continued the way that they began, I’d say that there was something to worry about offensively.
Fortunately, the Aggies’ somewhat disappointing performance on offense wasn’t actually as bad as it seemed. Texas A&M actually gained 595 yards during the game, which, if you’re not an expert, is a really large number. To put this into perspective, a pretty efficient Texas A&M offense from 2020 only averaged 439.3 yards per contest.
Beyond that, they would eventually reach 41 points, even if they needed a defensive touchdown to aid that total. Their second-half offense could not be stopped.
Still, Texas A&M had an undeniably rough first half on offense, and even into the second half, the turnovers kept happening. If there’s anything to worry about, it would be this team’s inability to hold onto the ball. Still, this can be drawn up to early nerves and a new quarterback settling in.

Overall, this was a great offensive performance no matter how you spin it. Haynes King got some nerves out with a few interceptions, and at the very least, Jimbo Fisher will have something to be upset about when this team watches film.
