Texas A&M fell to Kansas State in the Texas Bowl Wednesday night, 33-28, after its comeback bid fell short. After the game, representatives from each university met with the media to discuss the game, the 2016 season and more.

Despite playing without all but one starter in the secondary, the Aggie defense looked more like the unit that will have to show up against LSU. Billy has ten defensive thoughts on the game.

Kyle Field's a stage, and two ranked SEC teams are the players. In anticipation of welcoming Dak Prescott's Mississippi State Bulldogs, Kevin Sumlin and his coordinators and players spoke with the media on Tuesday about the Aggies' 4-0 start and lessons learned from Arkansas.

With Kevin Sumlin's strong recruiting classes beginning to come into their own and an elite one on the way in 2015, fierce competition is to be expected up and down the roster. Five spots in particular may make all the difference.

Improvement is needed in the secondary and new position coach Terry Joseph may be just the man to do it. Placement among mix of up-and-down veterans and inexperienced talent should begin to form in spring.
