Shaped by experience, Aggies facing season's grueling end with confidence

Experience is said to be the best teacher. Texas A&M has learned from experience this football season. The teachers have been like Professor Snape, Ed R. Rooney and Mr. Hand.

A&M’s lessons have been painful.

Three Aggies opponents were ranked among the nation’s Top 10 when A&M (7-3) played and lost to them – No. 1 Clemson, No. 1 Alabama and No. 8 Auburn.
