Tennessee and Texas A&M are two programs that enjoy a lot of advantages and frequently boast lofty expectations, while struggling to meet the bar of what is capable.
In some ways, the programs are similar, and that's evident in the win-loss column. Throughout the past 20 seasons, the Vols averaged seven wins. The Aggies averaged 7.4.
The teams will meet Saturday, in a pivotal game for the direction of each team's season.
On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer, Adam Sparks and John Adams assess the matchup and compare these programs.
Tennessee is the state's flagship school, while the Aggies live in Texas' shadow. But, Texas A&M's revenue, resources and facilities are impressive, and they're located in fertile recruiting terrain.
The truth is, each of these programs should win more than seven games in a typical season.
