The Texas A&M Aggies have prepared for the SEC in arguably the best way possible. Dominate against your non-conference opponents, and then beat Notre Dame in South Bend.
In the Notre Dame game, Terry Bussey had an incredible kick return to take the lead before it was called back from a holding penalty against Theo Melin Ohrstrom. Bussey told reporters that it was a 'blessing in disguise' to open the door for Nate Boerkircher to have his shining moment on A&M's last gasp.
Bussey also talked about the return specialists as a whole, and basically told the rest of the SEC to watch out with all the weapons they could have on special teams.
Bussey says A&M has 'a bunch of guys' that can go back deep to return
One reporter asked about Bussey about the best return specialist. Thinking he would credit himself, Bussey simply said, 'I don't know.' He then talked about how much talent the team has besides just two guys that can go back deep.
"I feel like we got a bunch of guys that can actually go back there and return, not just me and KC. We got a bunch of guys that go back and do it, I feel like."
Some of the other guys that pop into my head are Le'Veon Moss, but the coaching staff probably wants him to only focus on running the ball. Another name could be Rueben Owens II, simply because he's out there on running plays and passing plays. The more interesting but also riskiest move only because of history is Will Lee III.
Lee III ran 93 yards for a pick six against Texas last year and really showed off his speed on that run. Elko needs his corners to stay as fresh as possible, but Lee III as a return man would fit the billing.
Bussey is overdue to break a legal run for a touchdown, and it won't be long before he starts getting more heavily involved in this already explosive offense.
