The Ags are coming off of a tough start to the season, getting swept on the road at #3 Texas over a 3 game series. The Longhorns scored 27 runs on the Aggie pitching staff compared to the Ags 7 runs. The offense shined at moments, but struggled to take advantage of scoring with runners on base. The matchup was an uphill battle with the Longhorns expected to compete for a national championship.

This upcoming 1 game series should be a more realistic test of the Ags before conference play begins. Even so, USF is sitting undefeated, sweeping the Western Illinois Leathernecks. The Dons began the series winning in a low scoring contest 2-0 with the offense for both teams heating up as the season continued with the final 2 games ending in scores of 5-4 and 10-6 respectively.
