5 numbers that need to change for the Texas A&M football team in 2022
Change No. 4: Penalties Per Game (6.42)
The Texas A&M football team had way too many penalties in 2021, there’s no way around it. A team that expects to compete for an SEC title cannot be committing 6.42 per game, which equates to 55.8 yards per game.
This isn’t a difficult thing to cut out, though it may get worse before it gets better. Expect this to be an area of focus for Jimbo Fisher in 2022, as the Aggies will hope to keep ahold of more free yards in the upcoming season.
Change No. 5: Time of Possession (30 MPG)
As a lot of these stats are, the Aggies’ time of possession stat wasn’t egregiously bad in 2021. Their 30 minutes per game of possession sits them at 58th in the nation, which is right around the middle of the pack. Unfortunately, that’s not good enough.
Texas A&M’s time of possession was an issue all year long, with the Aggies unable to put together drives all year long. Specifically, A&M struggled early in the year in this category, indicating that a lost offense may have been the root cause.

As the Aggies’ offense improves (which it will), their time of possession number should take leaps and bounds forward. It’ll be subtle, but look for this one to improve next season.
