What are the expectations for A&M this year?
I expect A&M to start off 2-2, look really bad against Clemson and maybe a little better against Alabama with their 4th game. I expect them to start playing better as the year progresses but still hit at least 1 more stumbling block along the way. By the last week of the season, I expect them to be 8-3 or at worst 7-4 but be playing some really really good football. They will play us really hard and may be good enough to get the W. If we we played them in the first half of the year, we smoke them, but since its the last game, they are going to be a much improved team.

IIRC Sumlin had all the offensive talent in the world including four 5* quarterbacks since 2014. Jimbo may improve the offensive production, especially in the running game, but it's going to take him a couple years to get the horses to hang on D.
Remember, Danny Etling looked like Tom Brady against them last year. They haven't stopped our running game since Manziel was their quarterback (even then they didn't really stop it so much as slow/contain it).
I think we extend the winning streak at least two more years before (if Jimbo proves worthy of his contract) he has them competing with LSU.

That looks a lot like Sumlin's tenure. They were on average 8.5 wins vs 4.5 losses. For the money they paid Jimbo he better get much better quickly.
