STARTERS LOST: 4 (4 offense, 0 defense)
3 NAMES YOU ALREADY KNOW: Leon Jackson III gets the nod at QB, but how good will he be after last year's horrible season? WR Kevin Robinson can be a huge weapon if they choose to get him the ball. Ben Calderwood will key the defense.
3 NAMES YOU SHOULD KNOW: Curtis Marsh is just a freshman, but he could make a huge impact at running back. Nnamdi Gwacham was hurt for most of last season, but he could be big at wide receiver. QB Sean Setzer is in the running for the starting job.
3 KEY DATES: UNLV (Aug. 30) — historically, the Aggies are good when they win their first game ... La. Tech (Oct. 27) — despite being crushed last year, the Aggies have a chance in this game ... at Idaho (Nov. 24) — the same be said of the Idaho game, though the Aggies could be 0-11 going into that contest.
3 REASONS TO BE EXCITED: Last year is over. The Aggies went just 1-11 ... The offense and defense is more experienced by a year. Now it'll be up to them to use it to their advantage ... The new North Endzone Facility is now operational.
3 REASONS TO BE CAUTIOUS: Last year. Will the effects of the terrible season linger and impact the team this year? ... The Aggies play four of their first six games on the road (at Wyoming, Oklahoma, Utah and Hawaii) ... Despite experience, they have too many questions at RB and QB.
