Each week of the season, former Texas A&M quarterback Stephen McGee will break down several key plays from the previous weekend's game. This week Stephen and Gabe take a closer look at the Xs and Os of the Aggies' SEC-opening win at Auburn.

Haunted by memories of being pushed around on the ground a year ago, the Aggie defense flipped the script in Auburn. A&M controlled the line of scrimmage and stymied the Tigers' efforts to compensate through the air.

In a true SEC battle, the Aggies won the fight at the line of scrimmage. Steady movement in the middle of the field and big plays at crucial moments led to almost 500 yards of total offense against a talented Auburn defense.

The Aggies faced their first SEC test of 2016 on The Plains of Auburn and looked like a team built for the long haul. TexAgs gives you a field-level view of the highlights and gameday scenes, as seen on CW-8 Aggieland.

Behind an unrelenting defense and the reliable leg of Daniel LaCamera, Texas A&M won its third consecutive visit to The Plains on Saturday night. Afterwards, Coach Sumlin and several Aggie players visited with the media.

For the second week in a row, A&M did exactly what it needed to do, though this time with far more at stake. On the field at Jordan-Hare Stadium, Gabe and Olin break down the big SEC road win.
