The Longhorn Republic: Texas A&M Preview with Jay Arnold

Each summer, we preview the teams on the Texas Longhorns' schedule, starting with Week 12 and working backward toward the start of the season. We start with the Texas A&M Aggies, who are coming off a historic season and a trip to the College Football Playoff, the most successful season in modern history for the team. They return a ton of high-level skill talent but are rebuilding on the offensive line, hoping to be buoyed by a stout, experienced defensive unit.
