I'll try to do these each week on the day or two after our games. A few very impressive stats stood out to me when going beyond the traditional box score. Our total of 680 yards came without the benefit of a single 40+ yard offensive play. That means we were just consistently chewing up medium-sized chunks of yardage all game long. So get this. A&M had a mind-blowing 29 plays of 10 yards or more. Last year the Aggies averaged 20 per game and Baylor led the nation with 21.2 per game. The 12 third down conversions by A&M were the most since 2012 against Missouri. It was the 15th time in the Sumlin era that A&M has converted at least 50% of their third downs. Since Sumlin arrived, no major conference team has converted a higher rate of their third downs than A&M has. In 99 plays, the Aggies only lost yardage three times. One out of every 33 plays. In 2013, the Aggies lost yardage on 1 out of every 16 plays. (BONUS STAT! I lied about only doing 3.) Not counting the final drive in which A&M ran out the clock, the Aggies had 8 red zone possessions and scored touchdowns on 7 of them. Last year we had 53 red zone touchdowns.
