Last time around for the cougs it was 31-16 loss with an assistant coaching change in the works. This time revenge should be sweet. A whole new slate. A whole new outlook. And simply, a whole lot different. For starters on the aggies, is Diondre Borel lost to graduation who left with numerous school records. Finding a signal caller could be intriguing and one of the aggie top priorities. The aggies will have plenty of experience in the trenches. Back to the fold will be Robert Turbin who rushed for nearly 1300 yards and scored 18 touchdowns in 2009.
After allowing nearly 34 points a game to opponents Head Coach Gary Andersen took over that role hoping to change the course switching the aggies to a 3-4 alignment in the process. The linebacking crew will be led again by a dynamic duo of seniors in Bobby Wagner and Kyle Gallagher. Wagner has led the WAC the past two season with 298 career tackles. Gallagher isn't far behind either at 191.
On special teams Kerwynn Williams leads the way with a 25.2 yard average WAC best. Williams had 5 returns of 60 or better as well as 3 returns of 70 plus yards. The aggies must find more consistency who ranked 83rd nationally in the TO margin. With Boise State gone from the WAC the league should have more parity among its members. Its time for the aggies to take advantage of its opportunities.
