Texas A&M vs. Mississippi State was really a tale of two halves— the first was a defensive struggle on both sides that began to worry Aggie fans who were having flashbacks of how close the Auburn game was. The second half showed just why this is an Aggie team that deserves to be in the top five.
The Aggies were struggling mightily in that first half to get anything going on offense, thanks in large part to penalties— which were junking up nearly every single drive and throwing the Aggies off their game. In the second half, though, things completely changed.
