To no one’s surprise, the Texas A&M Aggies handily defeated the Citadel Bulldogs at Kyle Field to win their 20th consecutive home opener. Stephen McGee, Courtney Lewis, and Jorvorskie Lane all put up decent statistics in the win. Unfortunately, the Aggie offense also fumbled more than a freshman unhooking his first brassiere - leading to a fucking awful turnover margin of -3. Along with Oklahoma, this is the worst turnover margin in the Big 12.

wrecking crew still missing

Gary Darnell should print out and frame the statistics from the following categories tracked by Propeller Skies, as they are all likely to get worse as the season progresses:

• The defense only allowed 3 points;
• Pass defense is respectable with only 128 yards were allowed, good for 4th in the Big 12 - I suspect this is due to the ineptness of the Citadel offense, not any brilliant schemes on the part of Dennis Franchione or Mr. Darnell;
• The Texas A&M rushing defense is 10th in the Big 12, allowing 115 yards per game ;
• The Aggies are 4th in the Big 12 in total defense, with 243 yards per game.
