Fans, media note Orange Bowl victory adds to momentum for Texas A&M entering 2021

The Orange Bowl victory over North Carolina wasn’t the only big news for Texas A&M on Saturday and in recent days. The Aggies have also reeled in some high-profile recruits to bolster an already strong class.

Texas A&M bounced back from getting left out of the College Football Playoff to knock off the Tar Heel, 41-27, thanks to two late touchdowns by Devon Achane, including a 76-yarder, as he rushed overall 12 times for 140 yards.

At the podium presentation after the game, coach Jimbo Fisher made sure to add, “We ain’t done yet.”

Here’s a sample of some immediate reaction:

Great season for the #Aggies. They will finish in the top four. I’ve said it before and will do so again. Jimbo Fisher is worth every penny of that $75 million.

A top-5 finish, a NY6 bowl and a great recruiting class coming in. Things are trending upward in a big way for Jimbo Fisher. https://t.co/O7tXgGAaCq

Congrats to Texas A&M on a truly fantastic season. Now, looking forward to see if they can take the next step toward getting into the College Football Playoff in 2021.

The Aggies have put together an absolute monster of a defensive line class in 2021.

LOL… I see the bowl overreaction crew now moving Aggies above Ole Miss for preseason number 1 in 2021. 😁
