This might be referred to as the calm *after* the storm.

After an upsetting season-opening loss to Notre Dame, the Texas A&M Aggies look to move forward in the season.

They have quite the rest of the season ahead of them.

From next week against the Florida Gators all the way to the finale against the Texas Longhorns, Texas A&M is in for quite a ride.

Saturday, however, A&M gets what some people could call a break.

The Aggies host the McNeese State Cowboys, who went a winless 0-10 in 2023, enough for last place in the Southland Conference.

However, this is a new season, and the game still has to be played. With that, McNeese still has a chance to shock the 12th Man come September 7 in Kyle Field.

Can A&M cruise to the win, or will McNeese pull off their biggest upset ever? Here is what our staff has to say about the game:

The Aggies will get a nice reprieve when they get McNeese State at Kyle Field after their battle with the Fighting Irish. Aggies win big over the Cowboys.

The Texas A&M Aggies, in a perfect world, will be entering their second straight home game with a perfect record and a lot more confidence than they began the season with. Anything can happen in college football — just ask the fans who challenged the existence of Appalachian State — but more than likely, Week 2 will be a one-sided affair in favor of the home team.

The game against Notre Dame definitely left the 12th Man with more questions than answers, and nobody can be more fired up than the players themselves. Thankfully, they'll have 60 minutes to vent their frustrations about the season opener as they handle McNeese with ease.

The "Wrecking Crew" defense is going to show up and show out, and the offense will just be the cherry on top. Give me the Ags by a country mile.
