COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Texas A&M may have finally figured out how to close a game.

The Aggies went 7-6 last season, blowing many a lead along the way. The led Florida in the season opener and lost 20-17, raising fears that their problem had returned. Last weekend, the 22nd-ranked Aggies finally finished a close game, rallying from 10 points down in the fourth quarter for a 30-27 win over Ole Miss.

It’s a victory that’s given this team confidence heading into Saturday’s matchup with undefeated Louisiana Tech.

Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin believes his team’s last victory was even more impressive considering the Aggies overcame a season-high six turnovers to get it.
