Power ranking the SEC after week 6: Aggies continue ascent, others slide after upsets
Power ranking the SEC after week 6: #2 - Texas A&M
The Aggies finally looked like the team that we all thought they might over this offseason. The remarkable balance and high-level offensive output against what had, up until that point, been a completely stellar defense was mesmerizing to watch.
Conner Weigman had a triumphant return to form that silenced all the doubters. He was magnificent throwing the ball against a stingy Missouri defense, completing over 80% of his passes—many of which were downfield into tough coverage, it should be said—and going for 12.5 YPA.
The run game held up their end of the bargain as well. Le’Veon Moss has emerged as a formidable threat in this Aggie rushing attack, with Amari Daniels and EJ Smith complementing his skillset well.
This is to say nothing yet of the A&M defense. Will Lee could be an all-SEC cornerback. Nic Scourton is more than likely an all-SEC defensive end. The linebacker play continues to improve, as the oft-maligned Scooby Williams just keeps putting together good snaps, and Daymion Sanford is coming into his own.
A&M is in a great spot headed into the bye week. A test from LSU on October 26 after a trip to Starkville the week before will be very telling for the long-term viability of this Aggie team, but consider me bullish.
