Cover Story: A&M's 'longshot' chance remains entering rivalry renewal

After falling behind 21-0 at Jordan-Hare, coming all the way back to take a 31-28 lead only to fail to put Auburn away and eventually lose it in overtime, the Aggies had finally run out of chances.

A season that sure felt like it would be a rebuilding experience in year one under first-year head coach Mike Elko following a game one loss to Notre Dame saw this A&M team show steady in-season improvement.
