as a college starter, looking like the Texas A&M quarterback of the present as well as the future.Despite all the promising and positive moments, Texas A&M’s losing streak has now reached four games, the longest in a single season since the Dennis Franchione era in 2005.despite a massive buyout that will almost certainly preclude any move by A&M.
Ole Miss put together drives of 94, 85 and 75 yards for touchdowns in the second half to take command. Judkins had all four carries on the 75-yard drive that gave Ole Miss a 31-21 lead with 7:18 to play.Said defensive lineman Albert Regis: “I really believe in our effort … we just need to push it over the edge without holding anything back.”
“I thought Conner, first start and to do what he did,” Fisher said. “I thought he was outstanding in the game. I thought he showed a lot of poise and a lot of composure doing what he did and how he did it. He gave us a chance to win it at the end of the game.”“I look forward to him playing next week and we’ll get the other guys healthy and see where we are at,” Fisher said. “But I’m very comfortable with Conner playing.
For a least the first quarter, the Aggies looked like a different team than the one that had limped home from a loss to South Carolina. Ole Miss had scored on its opening drive when Jaxson Dart found Dayton Wade for an 18-yard touchdown to complete a 75-yard drive. Mississippi added a 46-yard field goal by Jonathan Cruz with 3:33 left in the first half.
