Will Aggies' Football Rock SEC in Same Way Arkansas Basketball Did in 1991?

With insight from Todd Day:

The former Arkansas and Hamilton High basketball sharpshooter, who helped the Razorbacks to the 1990 Final Four and whose smooth three-point shooting stroke helped him last eight NBA seasons, tuned in last Saturday when first-year SEC member Texas A & M marched into Tuscaloosa to play top-ranked and defending national champion Alabama.

The Aggies, playing their hyper-speed, fast-break offensive attack operated by force-of-nature redshirt freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel, jumped to a 20-0 lead and led wire-to-wire for a 29-24 victory.

"There might be other (non-SEC) teams who run that type of offense, but they don't have that type of quarterback," Day said.

So why is Day, 42, involved in a football discussion? Because after the Aggies' victory last Saturday, I'm convinced A & M's style of play can have as big an impact on SEC football as Arkansas had on SEC basketball when it entered the SEC in the 1991-92 season playing then-coach Nolan Richardson's "Forty Minutes of Hell" running and pressing style.

Are they winning the conference or something?

Right now they are in 3rd place in their own division.

Hardly even comparable.

Yeah...and we were already a very good program prior to leaving the SWC. We were the best team in the SWC when we left and aTm wasn't. I don't know if aTm can sustain what they have going. There are a serious injury away from having less than a mediocre season. There is just no comparison really.

Aggies have consistently had high ranked recruiting classes but seldom have been able to put it all together.  they have a tremendous recruiting area in the south texas houston area and now that they are in SEC can play that card as well..
