We stand of the precipice of another Texas A&M football season, and I can’t recall a season in which fans (and outsiders) have been so collectively divided, indecisive or downright confused about what a team could be. The range of outcomes for this team is wider than just about any team in recent memory. Heck it’s perfectly illustrated by their two most recent games, where they slogged their way to an underwhelming 20-7 win over UMass before dominating a top 5 LSU team 38-23 one week later.
In an effort to process what we should think of this team, I broke down the various aspects of the program that could define success or failure in 2023, and the ways in which those aspects could absolutely swing in either direction.
