The Aggies should have an impact in the Big 12 Conference this year and you can bet head coach Dennis Franchione is looking to get to another Bowl game this year. Franchione has a record of 16-19 SU and Aggies patrons are starting to get just a little irritated.
The main reason the Texas A & M Aggies couldn't achieve the six game minimum were injuries, lots of them. The non conference opponents this year are pushovers and they get to play every one of those games in Texas. Only 1 of their 4 Big 12 road games is a challenge.
With 14 starters coming back, including quarterback Stephen McGee a Bowl appearance might be in the cards for the Aggies. McGee almost lead the Aggies to a huge upset over Texas last year in the regular season finale. Running back Courtney Lewis also returns for his senior finale but he will have to share the pigskin with tailback Jorvorskie Lane who hurt opponents last year with his big body.
Texas A & M is sporting one of the biggest and badest front walls in the Big 12 Conference. The Aggies should have a great running game in 2006 as well as looking solid defensively with their front 7. Justin Warren returns as middle linebacker to anchor the line backing unit and the front wall looks massive. The secondary was not so hot last year but had some time to work on things in the off-season and you can bet they'll have some aces up their sleeves.
