5) What are you most confident about offensively and defensively for TAMU?

"I would say I’m most confident offensively in the talent at receiver and defensively in the talent at DL. Weigman seems like he’s really starting to break out, but the Aggies have quietly assembled an embarrassment of riches at wideout, with Moose Muhammad, Evan Stewart, Ainias Smith (who can also play at RB) returning from injury, and the newest star in Noah Thomas. They’re truly a mismatch if used properly—and if one game is any indication, Petrino knows what he’s doing on that front. The talent at DL is no secret, and they had to grow up quickly with everything that happened last year. You also have elder statesmen like Fadil Diggs and McKinnley Jackson who are absolute beasts but have missed a lot of time due to injury. The one concern there is a lack of a true dominant pass rusher with the explosion and bend to get around offensive tackles down in and down out. Diggs, Shemar Stewart, LT Overton, and guys like that have the potential to rack up sacks, but there’s no Myles Garrett or Von Miller type upfront."
