2000 Outlook
|
If defense wins championships, look
for Texas A&M to surprise alot of prognosticators
this year and make it's way into a battle with Texas
for a trip to the Big 12 Championship Game. But the
defense will have to play up to it's ability for the
offense to catch up if it can. The starter at quarterback
is anyone's guess at this point. The Aggies have a 19
home game winning streak going at deafening Kyle Field.
So a major make or break test could come in the first
game on the road against Notre Dame. If the Aggies can
find a way to leave South Bend victorious the next five
games are in the comforts of Kyle. The final two games
against rivals Texas and Oklahoma will decide A&M's
bowl fate. The Aggies will need to win one of those.
A simple yes or no will do. Will the Aggies go to a
bowl? YES. Will the Aggies go to a bowl better than
last years? NO. Will that be a productive finish with
the starters gone on offense? YES. Will Aggie fans see
it that way? NO, but it will be a good season, especially
if you like low scoring games. Remember the Alamo.
Projected Record: 8-4

OFFENSE
|
For the first time since 1992, the Aggies
enter the seaon with no clear-cut favorite to earn the starting
quarterback position as Randy McCown, who started 20 games
over the last three seasons, has now departed. Three players
will jockey for the starting spot. Mark Farris and Vance Smith
both took close to the same amount of snaps last year ending
with pretty equal, mediocre stats, but alot of coaches feel
Colby Freeman, who is the most mobile, may be the man. The
fall will tell. The running game struggled a bit last season,
but came on strong towards the end with one of the heaviest
backfields ever at A&M. Fullback Ja'Mar Toombs is a brick
house and will pound it up the middle on opponents this season.
The question mark will be at tailback as three of them are
now gone from '99. Coaches are hoping sophmore Joe Weber will
step in nicely, but redshirt freshman Richard Whitaker was
listed as the team's No. 1 tailback coming out of spring drills
with impressive spring numbers. The wide receivers will be
a thin unit due to heavy departures. Possibly the marquee
offensive player may be center Seth McKinney, one of the best
in the Big 12.

DEFENSE
|
Should be a great year for the Aggie defense
in 2000 and it all starts up front. The terrific trio of noseguard
Ron Edwards, and ends Ronald Flemons and Rocky Bernard return
for their senior seasons. These three young men have all lettered
three seasons and have been starters the past two years. Texas
A&M has got some experience along the defensive line and
has played a number of players the past couple of years giving
a tremendous amount of stability and depth across the defensive
front. The inside and outside linebackers are all back giving
seven returning starters total up front. There are two very
talented outside linebackers who should contend for all-star
honors this year in Jason Glenn and Roylin Bradley, a two
man wrecking crew. If there was a weak link heading into the
fall it would be in the backfield as the Aggies will have
to find three new players. They will start with Michael Jameson
who led the team in interceptions last year with five of them.
One of the biggest losses A&M fans will not forget about is
punter Shane Lechler, a two-time All-American and a fifth-round
draft pick of the Oakland Raiders. Look for the Parade All-American
punter Cody Scates to step in right out of high school as
he averaged over 44 yards his senior year.
