Hurrah!
Hurrah!
We'll give
him a hearty

then Hurrah!
Hurrah!
The 12th

the offensive

The No.

And the

Top
receiver
Mike Evans
is a proven
commodity
catching
passes.
But who
else is
ready to
step in
and make
a name catching
those Heisman
darts? Will
it be Malcome
Kenney or
young Thomas
Johnson?
Maybe someone
new? Two
of the top
four tacklers
move on.
They both
played linebacker.

DEPTH CHARTS were
only designed as a simplistic
gauge for listing players
that departed and players
that received the most
playing experience (consistent
starters). NationalChamps.net
recognizes the importance
of missing personnel data
not listed such as redshirts,
transfers, injuries, incoming
recruits, back ups and
alternates. Their coverage
will begin with our full
2013 Preseason Preview
due out this coming spring.

- Everybody
knows, especially
Heisman voters, that
Johnny Manziel makes
this offense go. Because
of Manziel the Aggies
can run and throw
equally well even
versus the SEC's best
defenses. Can Manziel
duplicate the same
type of success that
made him the best
player in America?
All eyes will be glued
to find outs. Worst
case scenario his
production gets cut
yet A&M can still
beat any team on any
given day. Thank you
Mike Sumlin.
- Manziel
will never be worried
about an outside pass
rush with two All-American
offensive tackles
providing the protection.
Joeckel and Matthews
are seniors and represent
the best tackles college
football has to offer.
- Manziel
is the team's leading
rusher, but senior
Ben Malena averages
nearly six yards per
carry.
- Mike
Evans gives Manziel
a big play receiver.
But somebody else
new will be catching
the rest and reaping
the post-season awards
next year at this
time. Who will it
be? That remains to
be seen.
- Damontre
Moore is the dominant
force on defense averaging
more than a sack per
game and disrupting
running plays. The
Aggie will need to
work on a linebacker
unit that loses two
full time starters.
- The
weak link in College
Station is in the
secondary where the
Aggies give up nearly
250 yards per game
through the air. It
won't be this bad
in 2013 with some
much needed experience,
but they won't be
world beaters either.
- Look
for Texas A&M
to be much the same
team we saw in 2012.
It doesn't look like
they have the overall
talent to overtake
the SEC West and get
the to SEC title game
in Atlanta. They will
knock of one of the
big dogs again however
before the season
is done and continue
to be a Top Ten presence.
With some solid recruiting
the Aggies could start
to become more.
