COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M football grabbed control of the lead and never looked back en route to a convincing win Saturday over the New Mexico State Aggies, 38-3. A&M (8-2, 5-1) jumped on the "other Aggies" early and removed all doubt.

Senior night was a success at Kyle Field, with Texas A&M beating New Mexico State 38-3 in front of a packed crowd. It's hard to be upset about a 35-point win, especially on Military Appreciation/Senior Night.

Some of the area winners include teams in our preseason top-10 countdown, such as Westlake, LBJ, Dripping Spring and Lake Travis. But the competition should be tougher in the area playoffs next round.
