LSU transfer Max Johnson appears to have the most successful day in leading the Maroon...
LSU transfer Max Johnson led the Maroon to a victory over the White, completing 13 of 31 passes for 127 yards and two touchdown passes.COLLEGE STATION — Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher wouldn’t normally glance at his phone during a contest. But Saturday’s high winds at Kyle Field prompted Fisher to double as an amateur meteorologist in the middle of the annual spring game.
“If you were calling plays today, you couldn’t do that,” Fisher said of throwing downfield about 10 times on Saturday, as opposed to a game that counts in the standings in the fall. “We wanted to create big plays down field and we also didn’t want to create a lot of piles. Johnson, a transfer from LSU, in his A&M debut completed 13 of 31 passes for 127 yards, with two touchdown passes to go with an interception in the Maroon squad’s 30-24 victory over the White.
“We had quite a few drops today, we’ve got to get better at wideout,” said Fisher, adding the trio of quarterbacks all had their “moments” during the spring game. “Every day in the offseason program, he was out front leading everybody running and doing things, and he’s been very productive in all the practices and scrimmages,” Fisher said. “He has a long way to go … but his consistency day in and day out was very pleasing.”
One player who didn’t make any spring awards lists but whose name surprisingly was called multiple times on Saturday is defensive back Avery Hughes of Fort Bend Austin High. Hughes, a sophomore walk-on, collected two interceptions and broke up three passes.
