WATCH: Texas A&M LG guaranteeing upset over No. 1 Clemson
Published:
The Texas A&M Aggies had little difficulty with Texas State in their season-opener as Jimbo Fisher’s team cruised to a 41-7 win.
Traveling to Clemson to face the No. 1 team in the country, Saturday’s test will be much tougher. Despite the challenges Clemson presents, one Aggie, LG Jared Hocker, is very confident his team will get it done.

The back-end of a home-and-home, the Aggies very nearly pulled off the upset in College Station in 2018, falling 28-26.
Racking up 246 rushing yards vs. Texas State, Hocker and his linemates did an exceptional job of clearing rushing lanes for freshman Isaiah Spiller and sophomore Jashaun Corbin. Facing a Clemson team that has become known for outstanding defensive line play, the Aggies will have their hands full on Saturday.
A three-star recruit in the 2017, Hocker ranked among the top-100 offensive tackles in the class, per the 247Sports Composite.
Saturday’s action from Memorial Stadium will kick at 3:30PM ET and will be telecast on ABC.
