Though Mississippi State has struggled at times this season, the Bulldog roster boasts a few playmakers capable of making Saturday difficult for the Aggies. The good news for Texas A&M? The Aggies possess a few stars, as well.

With a strong start against a tough SEC schedule, a playoff berth is fully within Texas A&M's reach. They just have to find the best version of themselves to lay claim to it.

Despite some shuffling on the line and limited play for the starters, the Aggies put together a balanced offensive performance against NMSU, and several key backups made significant contributions.

College football helps those who help themselves. That's how the saying goes, right? Texas A&M handled its business in a blowout win over New Mexico State, perhaps with one eye on the scoreboard as other playoff hopefuls fell.

With big plays from Christian Kirk and a strong response after halftime, Texas A&M blew out visiting New Mexico State. Coach Sumlin, Kirk, Trevor Knight, Justin Evans, and Kingsley Keke talked about the home win.

Christian Kirk stole the headlines Saturday night with two punts returned for touchdowns, plus a scoring reception, as the home Aggies rolled over the visiting Aggies.

The A&M offense needed a perfect performance to walk out of Tuscaloosa with a win against the best defensive unit in the land. Instead the Aggies struggled to find a rhythm and couldn't score points most of the afternoon.

Hopes of A&M occupying the top spot in college football often have been little more than fantasy. Facing a thus far immovable No. 1 Alabama, the Aggies have a real chance to fulfill that dream scenario.

To put it simply, very few believe Texas A&M can beat the No. 1-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday. That's a narrative that bothers Jermaine Eluemunor and Christian Kirk, and it's going to make them play that much harder this weekend.

Though plenty will be written about the coaches this week, especially the head man in Tuscaloosa, Saturday's battle between the top-ranked Tide and sixth-ranked Aggies will feature as elite a lineup of players as you'll see all season.

Despite a dangerous mid-game lull, the Aggie offense found a familiar - and winning - formula in the form of a huge game from Trayveon Williams, two key touchdown passes, and another long scoring run by QB Trevor Knight.

Texas A&M finished off a thrilling win over Tennessee in double-overtime on Saturday, and the Aggie players and coaches had plenty to say after one of the wildest games Kyle Field has ever seen. Inside, we have videos of Kevin Sumlin, Myles Garrett and more.
