Texas A&M vs. Auburn: Five things to watch
Texas A&M quarterback Conner Weigman hands the ball off to running back Devon Achane during the first half of an NCAA college football game against Mississippi Saturday, Oct. 29, 2022, in College Station, Texas. AUBURN, Ala. — Somebody has to win. Texas A&M and Auburn both must win the rest of their games to qualify for a bowl. That has turned into a long shot for both with three regular-season games remaining. Leading to the question:The Aggies entered the season ranked No.
Meantime Auburn is hopeful for the future with a new, mysterious coach arriving to allegedly save the day, perhaps giving the Tigers more buoyancy entering the must-win game between two proud programs.The Aggies figured they’d finally found their quarterback in freshman Conner Weigman, a former five-star prospect out of Bridgeland, all the way until he had the flu last week, according to Fisher.
Fisher said to expect Weigman back in action against the Tigers. Who knows at this point of a season teetering on oblivion — and Aggies will believe it when they see it based on his absence last week.A&M continues loitering among the nation’s worst at slowing the run under first-year defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin, as the Aggies rank 124th out of 131 Football Bowl Subdivision teams in allowing 215 rushing yards per game.
Auburn’s Robby Ashford ranks second in the SEC among quarterbacks and 14th overall with 505 rushing yards, and running back Tank Bigsby is always a threat. His name is Tank for crying out loud .Only two true receivers collected catches a week ago for the Aggies: Evan Stewart and Moose Muhammad III. Tight end Max Wright added five catches and running back Devon Achane chipped in three.
