How they play
Texas A&M fields a struggling methodical, ball-control offense behind a strong defense.
Percentile vs all FBS, based on this season's per-game production. Bar = where this team ranks — right is better.
Player percentiles
Texas A&M reads strongest in red-zone defense (top 15%) and field position (O) (top 18%); the crux lives in explosive plays, where Texas A&M sits at the 5th percentile.

Hidden math · special situations
Home-field advantage · 2018–present · FBS opponents
Texas A&M is worth +8.8 points more at home than on the road.
Top tenth of FBS, 99th percentile of 133 programs
77% at home, 36% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (40-12 home, 13-23 away). Interval ±3.6.
The stadium and how the home edge is measured
Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge. The books use about 3. Per-team versions were tested and did not hold up (why). Against the closing line, Texas A&M has beaten the number by +2.2 more at home than away over 95 games. That is inside the ±5.3 that many games can resolve, so the results cannot tell this stadium from the flat number. That is the honest reading of nearly every FBS stadium.
Kyle Field seats 102,733 and has averaged 99% full (101,810, 32 games reported). Visitors cover a median 593 miles to get here since 2018 — 31st-longest of 135 FBS venues, inside the ordinary range. For the home side it is genuinely home ground: 30% of the 2026 roster (36 of 122 located players) grew up inside 100 miles of the stadium.
Edge = half the gap between average home margin and average road margin, FBS opponents only, non-neutral games since 2018; the interval is 95%. Market line: closing spread, seasons with lines on file. Trip length is straight-line miles from the visiting team's campus to the venue, measured across all 59 home games since 2018.

How the players get used
From the 2025 season's play-by-play
- Garbage timeJamarion Morrow sees a real spike in usage once the game is out of reach, and his efficiency in competitive snaps sits below the position baseline: the numbers lean on the opponent giving up.
- Deep threatAshton Bethel-Roman is used almost exclusively underneath: a low share of his targets are downfield shots.
- Deep threatMario Craver is used almost exclusively underneath: a low share of his targets are downfield shots.
Position battles
RB room
The carries are split. The job isn’t.
Rueben Owens II and KJ Edwards split the carries (78/133 vs 55/133) -- but the job isn't split the same way. KJ Edwards produces in bigger chunks.
WR/TE room
The targets are split. The job isn’t.
Mario Craver (WR) and Houston Thomas (TE) split the targets (47/62 vs 15/62) -- but the job isn't split the same way.

Texas A&M’s 4th-quarter offense, before and after garbage time
Raw Q4 EPA/play ranks 30th percentile in FBS. Strip out snaps taken with a blowout margin and it drops to the 7th — the correction is the finding, not a footnote.
Standard downs vs. passing downs
Does Texas A&M hold up once the down-and-distance turns against them?
46th percentile success on standard downs, 55th on passing downs — little dropoff between the two — a schedule-independent identity.

Texas A&M by half
1st-half offense ranks 43rd percentile in FBS; 2nd-half, 12th — competitive snaps only, garbage time excluded from both halves.
How much of Texas A&M’s number is the schedule?
Raw EPA/play through week 10 is 0.07; 29th percentile once opponent strength is stripped out, it's 0.02. The widest gap came in week 2: 0.35 raw vs. 0.02 adjusted.
Pass defense by zone
What this team throws, and gives up, by depth.
On short throws (≤19 air yards), Texas A&M’s passing game completes a completion rate below the FBS mean (63.2% vs 67.0% league-wide, shrunk toward the mean for its 209-play sample) — mid-pack, 15 of 136 qualifying offenses.
On short throws (≤19 air yards), Texas A&M’s defense allows a completion rate below the FBS mean (65.0% vs 66.3% league-wide, shrunk toward the mean for its 151-play sample) — mid-pack, 35 of 137 qualifying defenses.
We won’t show a deep-ball (20+ air yards) leaderboard here, on either side of the ball: even a full season of charted plays gives most teams well under 30 deep attempts — too thin to tell a real tendency from noise, so we won’t guess. Same refusal for yards-after-catch allowed and where a team’s attempts land by zone: both measured and both came back statistically indistinguishable from season-to-season noise.
Havoc & trenches
Disruption, run-blocking, and down-and-distance efficiency.
Turnover luck
Recovering 71% of their own fumbles — running hot vs. the ~52% league rate.
5 of 7 own fumbles recovered themselves; 5 of 9 forced fumbles recovered, 2026 only.
Takeaways
Converting 25% of pass disruptions into takeaways — well above the ~18% league rate.
6 interceptions of 24 disrupted passes (18 deflected, 6 intercepted), 2026 only.
Penalties
The penalty battle is a wash: 45 penalties committed vs. 50 drawn on opponents.
366 penalty yards committed vs. 367 drawn on opponents, 2026 season total.
