Team records:
Texas A&M: 6-6 SU, 6-5-1 ATS
Georgia: 7-5 SU, 4-7 ATS

Preview:

If the Aggies could play any semblance of defense, they would have been much deeper into the Big 12 hunt. They proved as much in a wild 49-39 loss at home against Texas in their final game of the season.

A&M pivot Jerrod Johnson might be the most productive at his position in the state in 2009, which says volumes considering Longhorn Colt McCoy was invited to the Heisman ceremony.

Defensively for A&M, Von Miller leads the nation in sacks with 17, but other than that it’s quite a mess.

The Aggies secondary gets torched more than a barn owned by a farmer out for insurance money. Having said that, Georgia hasn’t had a season to remember. The Bulldogs aren’t devoid of talent; particularly WR A.J. Green is something special, QB Joe Cox certainly isn’t Matthew Stafford, the cannon-armed pivot who led Georgia last year and went first overall to the Detroit Lions of the NFL. Thunderfooted P Drew Butler will surely help with the field position game, but that point might be moot with the Aggies’ high-octane attack.

I hadn’t had a chance to watch a lot of Texas A&M until their game against Texas (who is now playing for the National Title) and I have to say I was very impressed with Johnson.

Georgia has its standard freakish defense, so it won’t be easy, but I am betting that the state of Texas’ other amazing QB will use his arm and his feet to lead an upset against the Bulldogs.
