Once, Texas A&M receivers embraced the wishbone.

That is, the Aggies would grab one and wish a pass would be thrown their way.

There was a time when receivers were viewed as little more than insects in the Aggies offense. Even their best receiver was called Roaches.

Indeed, things have changed in a big way since Carl Roaches led the Aggies in receiving yardage with a whopping 155 yards in 1974. Heck, Mike Evans exceeded that total in the first half against Auburn last season.
