3 reasons Texas A&M football coasts to win over BGSU: A&M ground game takes over
Can the Aggies go for 300+ on the ground for the third straight week? It sounds nigh unachievable, but they are right on the verge—and this may just be the exact opponent to do that against.
The Ags have the makings of an extremely solid rushing attack. Even against a stout Notre Dame front, A&M was able to make some hay on the ground. Much more so in these last two weeks against McNeese and Florida, of course, but we shouldn’t undersell how immediate the transformation seems to be from last year.
The Falcons, for their part, are not exactly a solid rush defense. Penn State shredded them on the ground, and were able to stay ahead of the chains quite well, which led to their eventual comeback after BGSU jumped out to a lead.
Though Bowling Green can get after the quarterback, registering 3.5 sacks per game so far, their front is susceptible to a strong offensive line. Since the OL looks to be the strength of this A&M team so far, this is a matchup that clearly favors the Maroon and White.
