Their offense, which was pretty inconsistent in 2015, looks better right now with some major additions in offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone and graduate transfer quarterback Trevor Knight, who spent his first three years in Oklahoma. He&#8217;s thrown for 3,424 yards with 25 touchdowns in his college career.<\/p>\n<p>Knight\u2019s transition should be relatively easy as there\u2019s going to be numerous options for him to pass to. Texas A&amp;M returns four of their starting receivers from the last year, all of whom are expected to have better campaigns this year. In particular, Christian Kirk is the one to really watch out for as he led the Aggies in receptions (80) and receiving yards (1,009) in his freshman season.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Aggies\u2019 defense looks pretty solid as well with All-American junior Myles Garrett and senior Daeshon Hall holding the fort. Both were very productive last year, combining for 19.5 sacks. That total should be even better this upcoming season.<\/p>\n<p>Texas A&amp;M is priced at <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/ncaa-futures\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>+7,500<\/strong><\/a> to win it all this upcoming season.<\/p>\n<h3>Team Weaknesses<\/h3>\n<p>Despite the new additions and improvements, the Aggies\u2019 rushing offense still has a\u00a0bit of uncertainty. Their running game, which ranked 78<sup>th<\/sup> nationally last season, remains a liability with Keith Ford, also a transfer from Oklahoma, the only legitimate threat on ground.<\/p>\n<p>Besides that, the offensive line is another question mark\u00a0the Aggies need to answer. New line coach Jim Turner is faced with a big challenge of fixing an underachieving group that struggled in pass protection and run blocking. He might just be the right man for the job as his relatively long tenure with the NFL\u2019s Miami Dolphins should help him deliver some positive results. This is also Turner\u2019s second stint with Texas A&amp;M.<\/p>\n<h3>2015 Team Stats<\/h3>\n<table class=\"table-bordered\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Category<\/th>\n<th>Stat (Rank)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th><strong>Points per game<\/strong><\/th>\n<th><strong>26.7\u00a0(#70)<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th><strong>Passing yards per game<\/strong><\/th>\n<th><strong>253.7\u00a0(#39)<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th><strong>Rushing yards per game<\/strong><\/th>\n<th><strong>157.8\u00a0(#78)<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th><strong>Scoring defense<\/strong><\/th>\n<th><strong>22.4\u00a0(#28)<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Texas A&amp;M (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/football\/ncaa-futures\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>+7,500<\/strong><\/a>) finishes the season at 8-4.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/6\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a>\u00a0and start cashing in on all the upcoming action in the 2016 NCAA football season.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/40\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-111920 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/620x110-250FREE-6-16-16.gif\" alt=\"620x110-250FREE-6-16-16\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"114561\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,447&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2016 Texas A&amp;M Aggies Football Preview Team Strengths There&#8217;s a lot of optimism surrounding the Texas A&amp;M Aggies heading into 2016.
