Three Thoughts: Aggies escape against Auburn in ugly performance
Texas A&M survived its SEC opener against Auburn, but it wasn't pretty. The Aggies' defense stepped up over and over again to secure the victory.
COLLEGE STATION, TX – Luckily for Mike Elko and the Texas A&M Aggies, college football isn’t a question of how, but of how many.
No one will look back on the 16-10 win over Auburn and remember how unimpressive it was if the Aggies win at least 10 games and reach the College Football Playoff. And that’s good news because none of the 108,449 in attendance, or the millions watching at home, want to remember any of the 60 minutes played against the Tigers. It was ugly. It was sloppy. It was a forgettable performance by both teams. But Elko & Co won’t care because apologies are unnecessary for winners in the SEC.
