Two things that stood out to me other than all the "OR".

1. Marcel Reed only gained 5lbs over the off season. He was listed at 180lbs last year. Now he's 185lbs, and that might be rounded up. Not a great place to be for a running QB in an offense that runs the QB.

2. They only have 4 DTs that aren't true freshmen, and of those the biggest is listed at only 317lbs. Texas has 4 DTs bigger than 317lbs.

This is their 3rd string QB.  Just a heartbeat from the next Aggie messiah. Reed will be discarded by game 4 and start portal paperwork. This guy will instantly become the most popular guy on the team.

I'm sure he'll find himself someday. At GaTech, Kentucky, or UH

If you were a cliff notes student back in the day, I can save you a shit ton of time.  "In 2025 A&M will show early flashes of hope before letdown and disappointment.  All while carrying the cost of an extra head coach's salary, who they had prior flashes of hope from!"

Then just change the year annually....

    It's prediction time. GigEm247 staff members Jeff Tarpley, Carter Karels and Andrew Hattersley are ready to project what they think will happen when No. 19 Texas A&M clashes with UTSA at home Saturday in Kyle Field (6 p.m. on ESPN).

    As of Thursday afternoon, BetOnline Sportsbook has the Aggies as a 24.5-point betting favorite over the Roadrunners. The over/under scoring total is at 56.5. Here is how we think the game will go, along with a score prediction. 

    Jeff Tarpley

    Texas A&M brings back most of its 2024 team while UTSA lost its entire defense but still wants to take chances on that side of the ball (which translates to more big plays and points than you would normally expect). In addition, this is a program that didn't play very well away from home.

    On the surface, this sets the contest up to be a mismatch, but it's the first game of the season, which usually leads to miscues on both sides and may enable UTSA to stay in the game for a while … but not long enough.

    Score prediction: Texas A&M 45, UTSA 20.

    Carter Karels

    Season openers can be a mirage, but I expect this game to set the tone for what to expect from the Aggies in 2025. There are plenty of reasons to feel more optimistic about their offense than their defense this fall, and it should show up vs. the Roadrunners.

    With its new-look defense, UTSA will probably struggle to contain A&M, particularly its vaunted ground game and improved wide receiver unit. But for the Aggie defense, which enters the season with a lot of questions, their showing likely will not be nearly as strong. The Roadrunners should have one of the better offenses in the American Athletic Conference, making them a challenge.

    Score prediction: Texas A&M 41, UTSA 17.

    Andrew Hattersley

    Openers are always tricky as Mike Elko outlined during his Monday media availability, especially with UTSA featuring 11 new starters on the defensive side of the ball. That could pose some challenges for A&M early on, but as the Aggies make adjustments, I expect Marcel Reed and Co. to be able to move the ball and get rolling offensively. A&M certainly went through some inconsistent play last year with new faces on the defensive side of the ball, and the Roadrunners will have to deal with this as well.

    I do expect UTSA to be able to move the ball at times, though I don't think it will be enough to keep up with A&M. Though this game could be closer than anticipated in the first half, I expect the Aggies to pull away down the stretch for a relatively comfortable win.

    Score prediction: Texas A&M 38, UTSA 14.

i suspect the first half is close, we laugh at eggy and we get blue balled by the end. but it'll be a game that pleases no one at A&M , and still a non zero chance UTSA does the funniest thing 

Like 2022 when UTSA went up 17-7 on us in the 2nd Q and it was tied at half time? 

that was a fun time.

Sounds perfect for aggy since that Texas team went 8-5.

Oof I didn't know UTSA was returning zero starters from last year's team on defense.  I was confidant in them covering base on their offensive production.  Now I'm having serious pause.
