If there are two things in life that I love without doubt - they are watching the battles between linemen on the gridiron and the delicious flavors of smoked meats, especially courtesy of a Texas Barbecue joint. The pairing of linemen and barbecue gave me the idea for this weekly series: Trench War/Fare. Every week, I will preview the key match-ups in the trenches for Texas A&M and follow up with a recipe recommendation either from my travels around Texas Barbecue joints or of my own creation, likely making the most of leftovers from said travels.
For this first week, instead of talking about the key match-ups with Sam Houston’s linemen, let’s dive into Texas A&M’s expected starters on both sides of the ball and what we want to see out of them in action for the first time since 2021.
