Texas A&M will be looking forward to this break from SEC action. The Aggies could use a good performance before they take on LSU next week. I like Texas A&M to win big as their offense, even with a backup, should be able to move the ball with ease. The Aggies’ defense also should be able to keep UTSA in check as well.
