Says Anwar Richardson of objective journalism site Orangebloods.com
quote:
There really is no reason why a recruit should want to attend Texas A&M. Even if we skip the obvious no comparison between living in College Station and Austin, think about this for a minute. Johnny Manziel won the Heisman Trophy based on his performance during the 2012, and do you remember where his team finished that season?
Third in the SEC's West Division.
If Texas A&M could not win its SEC division with a Heisman Trophy winner, when will it realistically occur?
Never, is the obvious answer.
But what Texas A&M currently has is the perception of greatness, even if the Aggies were 3-5 against conference opponents last season, and outscored 293 to 223 against SEC teams. For those who do not feel like doing the math, Texas A&M was outscored 37-28 in SEC games last season, and time will tell if the hiring of defensive coordinator John Chavis will make a difference.
