The Aggies' 2010 season reached the halfway point stuck in neutral. Three straight losses to Oklahoma State, Arkansas, and Missouri caused the team to band together, forget the past, and start over. The result? The Aggies ended the regular season with six straight wins, including upsets of Oklahoma and Nebraska and a win over rival Texas in Austin -- enough to earn a share of the Big 12 south title. Despite a loss to LSU in the 2011 AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic to finish the season, A&M is optimistic for 2011. 
On offense, coach Mike Sherman has plenty of options to work with on offense. Senior quarterback Ryan Tannehill is expected to anchor the Aggie offense. He tossed 13 touchdowns last year while throwing for more than 15-hundred yards. At tailback, A&M returns junior Christine Michael, who missed the last five games of 2010 with a tibia injury. He's healthy for 2011 and will provide a big one-two punch with senior Cyrus Gray. Gray rushed for more than 11-hundred yards last season and picked up 12 touchdowns on the ground. At receiver, sure-handed senior Jeff Fuller is back, along with fleet-footed junior Ryan Swope. 
On defense, the Aggies will rely again on bruising blitzes and tricky coverages created by defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter. The Aggies allowed the fewest rushing yards per game last year, but they'll have to find a way to replace Michael Hodges and Von Miller, who both provided key leadership and playmaking ability. Damontre Moore enjoyed a terrific season last year as a "joker", which is a hybrid of the linebacker/defensive lineman position, and the Aggies will count on him for big play ability.
