Wilkins: ‘It’s clear we have to get better’

Christian Wilkins gave Texas A&M credit for the 501 yards it put up on the Clemson defense this past Saturday night in College Station, Texas.

“They were able to make some plays, some competitive plays. That’s personally what I felt like,” the preseason All-American said.

In the second half, the Aggies, thanks to quarterback Kellen Mond, made a lot of competitive plays. Mond completed 17 of 23 passes for 333 yards and three touchdowns in the second half. Wide receiver Kendrick Rogers caught six of those passes for 107 yards and scored two touchdowns.

It was if the Tigers, who held on for a two-point win, had no answer for the Texas A&M offense.
