Staff predictions for Texas A&M vs. The Citadel in Week 7

Texas A&M returns to Kyle Field for what may be their last guaranteed victory of the season before facing Alabama in Tuscaloosa next week. The Aggies enter Week 7 with a 3-3 overall record and a struggling offense, having managed just six points in blowout losses to LSU and Missouri.

Despite three SEC defeats by double digits, the defense has shown flashes of brilliance, with standout performances from senior cornerback Dezz Ricks and defensive tackle DJ Hicks. Quarterback Marcel Reed, the starter, has yet to throw a touchdown pass since Week 2, while the offensive line continues to face challenges, particularly against Missouri.

With The Citadel’s undersized and less-talented lineup, Texas A&M’s defense should dominate, limiting the Bulldogs to a one-dimensional attack centered around quarterback Quenton Hayes and running back Gavin Garcia. The Aggies may also see increased playing time for backup quarterback Brady Hart and freshman running back KJ Edwards, who could make his second start of the season.

Coach Mike Elko’s decision to stick with Reed remains questionable, but the Aggies’ talent advantage should secure another win—though the focus remains on preparing for the looming showdown with Alabama.
