The 2021 Texas A&M offense averaged just over 29 points per game. If the 2022 O scored 29 points in every game last year, the team would’ve finished 8-4. Had it scored just over 32 points per game like it did in 2020, last year A&M would’ve been 10-2.

The running game worked when the team stuck with it, and now with Devon Achane gone it’s up to Rueben Five-Star to be amazing from Day One - he will be. There’s a little bit of experience depth behind the lightning fast 6-0, 200-pounder, but the new guy will get a whole lot of work.
The line has to be better and more of a dominant factor, and it has two future NFL starters in 6-5, 325-pound C Bryce Foster and 6-8, 330-pound OT Reuben Fatheree to work around. The overall experience is there, and now the production has to follow.
