2021 was supposed to be a special year for Jimbo Fisher & Co., but after losing to Arkansas last week, what was once hope has turned into fear among many Texas A&M fans. A date with Mississippi State could indicate how much worse this season could get for A&M.

Nothing came easy for the Texas A&M offense on Saturday night, but fortunately, the Aggie defense stood tall in a 10-7 win over Colorado. The contest was as close as they come, but the escape act could serve as a wake-up call for the highly-ranked Ags.

Before No. 5 Texas A&M heads to Denver to face Colorado this weekend, there are plenty of questions to be answered surrounding Aggie football. Billy Liucci tackles those subscriber questions in this written edition of Ask Liucci.

Jimbo Fisher is entering his fourth season at Texas A&M, which is the same season in which he won a National Championship at Florida State. Not only are there a surprising number of similarities between the two programs, but the teams have similar mindsets as well.

South Carolina's Ryan Hilinski will be the fourth true freshman signal-caller to face Texas A&M in 2019, highlighting a growing trend of young players getting the keys to the kingdom. Of the four, Hilinski is the most dangerous passing threat the Aggies will have faced.

At the head of the charge for several potential conference champions are elite leaders at every skill position. The list seems to be solidifying, TexAgs' resident Trophy voter says, but one must seize it in the final weeks.
