Terry Bussey Reveals Why Texas A&M Offense Could Be Even More Dangerous in 2026

Terry Bussey doesn't think the Texas A&M offense necessarily has something it couldn't do last season.

It might just have a lot more players capable of doing it … and after the Aggies reached the College Football Playoff last season, that's a pretty interesting place to start.

Texas A&M finished 11-2 in Year 2 under Mike Elko, reaching the College Football Playoff before a 10-3 loss to Miami ended its season in the first round.

Now comes Year 3 — and if the Aggies are going to take another step, Bussey believes their increased depth could have something to do with it.

"I wouldn't say it's nothing we couldn't do last year, but I mean, I feel like we got a lot more guys that have matured and that can make plays," Bussey said.

And that's where things get interesting.

Bussey isn't promising some completely reinvented Texas A&M offense in 2026. He's talking about having more options within it — and potentially a lot of them.

"I mean, you can put the ball in anybody's hands, and it could be an explosive play just like that," Bussey said.

It isn't difficult to see where the confidence comes from, either.

Mario Craver returns after catching 59 passes for 917 yards and four touchdowns in 2025. He added another 81 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries, was named a Biletnikoff Award semifinalist and earned third-team All-SEC honors.

Then there's Bussey, who caught 18 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown last season while adding 421 yards on 18 kickoff returns.

And his value doesn't necessarily have to come from one spot.

"He's a smart, tough, unselfish, dependable player that we can line up in a few different spots," offensive coordinator Holmon Wiggins recently said.

Craver and Bussey aren't alone, either. Ashton Bethel-Roman returns, while Isaiah Horton gives the Aggies another option after joining the program through the transfer portal.

That's a lot of different ways to attack a defense … which brings us right back to Bussey's point.

"I mean, just feel like we got more depth in the rooms and feel like we can do a lot more with a bunch of different people," Bussey said.

Of course, having more weapons doesn't guarantee Texas A&M will take that next step. They still have to do something with them.

But after an 11-win season and the program's first College Football Playoff appearance, giving an already successful offense more ways to create explosive plays certainly isn't a bad place to start.

And we'll get our first look soon enough — Texas A&M opens the 2026 season against Missouri State at Kyle Field on Sept. 5.
