Five takeaways from Texas A&M’s 20-13 loss to Tennessee in Week 7

Max Johnson was pressured on 64 percent of his throws, while “feed the studs” was nowhere in sight. Here are the takeaways from A&M’s loss to Tennessee.

For the second straight week, Texas A&M (4-3, 2-2 SEC) couldn’t get out of their own way as they fell 20-13 to No. 19 Tennessee (5-1, 2-1 SEC). The difference this time is that there is a cloud of uncertainty looming over this team heading into the bye week.

From a porous display by the offensive line to a wasted effort by A&M’s stellar defense, Saturday’s loss again shone a light on the current weaknesses of this football team. The question now is whether or not Jimbo Fisher and company can help steer the ship to close out the season strong.

If not, we could be in for a sequel performance to the 2022 debacle that Aggie fans were hoping would never rear its ugly head again. And yet, here we are with the Maroon and White firmly out of the College Football Playoff picture. Barring a miracle, the same can be said for a run at the SEC title game.
