Aggies Face Big Test In No. 7 Oklahoma State
COLLEGE STATION (AP) Texas A&M's defense was near perfect in Saturday's 37-7 win over Idaho.
The offense still has some things to work on before the eighth-ranked Aggies open Big 12 play against No. 7 Oklahoma State this weekend.
The Aggies held Idaho to 187 yards, but 109 of those yards came in the fourth quarter when most of A&M's starting defense was on the bench with the game well in hand.
Coach Mike Sherman raved about the defense and knows the group will need a similar performance to compete against the Cowboys' high-powered offense.
Texas A&M piled up 517 yards of offense, but the Aggies weren't happy with a sloppy first quarter that included two turnovers.
