Clemson Football: Ranking the Tigers’ 2018 Opponents by Difficulty
3. @ Texas A&M Aggies
This is not the Texas A&M program of old when they had Johnny Manziel.
The Aggies are lacking in depth and will be breaking in a new coach in Jimbo Fisher. Texas A&M will also be looking to transition from running a spread-offense to running a pro-style offense to match Fisher’s system.
What makes this game difficult, then?
It’s pretty simple: It’s at the beginning of the season.
This will be Clemson’s first road test and there’s sure to be some QB controversy heading into College Station. I’d also imagine that the Aggie faithful make the road game as hard as possible for the Tigers.
The atmosphere keeps it close for a short time before Clemson begins to pull away in the second half.
