Margin for error is gone
Due to tiebreakers, the Aggies would have only had to win against Carolina and Auburn to guarantee themselves a spot in the SEC championship game. That scenario is now out the window, of course.
However, the Aggies' goals are still ahead of them. If they win these final two conference games, which they are more than capable of doing, they can still make it to Atlanta for the first time since joining the conference.
I'm hoping what we saw this past Saturday was not a team resting on its laurels; it seems like Elko has them coached up better than that. However, if that is indeed what was happening, this was a heck of a wakeup call.
The things this team wants to achieve are all still in front of them. But they need to shape some things up expeditiously, or that window shuts pretty quickly.
