COLLEGE STATION, Texas - Texas A&M wanted to prove they really had a tough schedule. Playing against five top 10 opponents, the Aggies fell short each round, finishing with a 7-5 record. 

Inside of their home away from home of NRG Stadium, Kellen Mond dazzled thousand of fans as he broke free into Oklahoma State's secondary. A last-second push gave the junior a 67-yard touchdown and the Aggies the lead. 

While the Cowboys came back late, the damage was done and A&M would win the Texas Bowl, 24-21 over their former Big 12 foes. Jimbo Fisher moved to 2-0 in bowl games with the program and the Aggies finished the year with back to back 8-plus wins. 

The question is now, where does the team go? With A&M looking like a contender and the team's schedule becoming easier, perhaps some will consider the Aggies a legitimate threat to compete for the College Football Playoff next season. 

Locked on Aggies, in partnership with Aggie Maven, is here to bring you an audio element to our Texas A&M coverage. On Tuesday's show, we look back at the season and where the team is headed with the young talent in the room.
