- COLLEGE STATION - Tuesday's fall camp practice saw head coach Mike Elko and offensive coordinator Holmon Wiggins meet with the media. - With less than three weeks until the Aggies host Missouri State, every rep counts.

- Mike Elko expects linebacker Daymion Sanford to play against Missouri State, although he remains a possible game-time decision after spring surgery for a severe lower-leg injury. - Sanford practiced every day after fall camp opened August 5 and is positioned for a larger leadership role in a defense replacing six starters, including departed linebackers Taurean York and Scooby Williams. - Elko highlighted Ray Coney's strong summer and fall camp, Noah Mikhail's significant improvement and Jordan Lockhart's development as positive linebacker signals.

- Terry Bussey was identified as an offensive camp standout and possibly Texas A&M's best overall performer in the practice sample discussed. - Bussey's path has included uncertainty over whether he would play corner before moving to receiver, where he needed time to learn the position's fundamentals. - Prior injuries reportedly slowed his development, but the current camp assessment is that the position change is beginning to click, giving the offense a potentially important ascending receiver.

- COLLEGE STATION — When reviewing Texas A&M football's depth chart, some of the positions are obvious. - Marcel Reed is QB1, Mario Craver and Isaiah Horton are the starting wide receivers, and Dezz Ricks is going to start at cornerback. - However, outside of those few known starters, there is far more up for debate than in years past.
