Different Beast: Texas A&M attempts to validate 5-0 start against Vols

Three in a row is an acceptable combination in bowling, tic-tac-toe or baseball.

For the third season in a row, Texas A&M has gotten off to a 5-0 start. But in each of the past two seasons, the Aggies have stalled in the sixth week.
