Texas A&M struggled against Vanderbilt. There’s no other way to put it.

Although the Aggies won, they struggled on both sides of the ball, and only finished with 376 total yards of offense. Aggies quarterback Kellen Mond finished the game going 17-28 for 189 yards and 1 TD.

If the Aggies aren’t able to make big plays, this game will end before it even starts.

Next… a bounce-back performance!
