Horned Frogs QB Casey Printers has a tendency to look only to his leading receiver Adrian Madise and really struggled. The Aggies defense doubled Madise and were able to get the pickoffs, including three by freshman DB Byron Jones -- fantastic job by Jones in his first start as a defensive back.

Plagued by injuries, the Aggies started four freshman and played just one senior on offense. It was good to see this young offense show a little maturity. Because the defense set them up with turnovers, they had some short drives, but you could see a consistent running game that got the job done.

This Texas A&M team looks pretty good going into next season. They'll lose four starters on defense but just one on offense. And with QB Mark Farris returning and bowl practices, R.C. Slocum has a pretty good nucleus heading into next season. The Aggies will have a tough schedule but at least they've got some depth. Because of all the injuries this year, Slocum had to give players experience. The future looks pretty good for them.
