Mike Sherman's debut as Texas A&M's coach. The last meeting with the Red Wolves launched the Dennis Franchione era, so Sherman would be wise to outdo his unpopular predecessor in the opener.
Save for a session with Miami-Florida at home, the Aggies should get the Sherman-era off to a good start. The Big 12 slate of course bids more than its share of potential drawback, among them games against Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Texas. The first two of them are at home, while A&M must travel to Austin for its annual showdown with the Longhorns.
With a new coach and new defensive plan, some guys were moved around, among them former DE Von Miller, who at 6-3 and 220 pounds will be better suited as a speed linebacker. Others who could wind up making a splash this season include LBs Matt Featherston, Anthony Lewis and Johnathan Haynes. Up front, expect senior DE Cyril Obiozor to have another solid campaign and for 6-6, 345-pound Kellen Heard to made a huge splash at the tackle spot.
