Texas A&M (6-4, 4-3 SEC) has begun a new chapter in the football program after the recent firing of head coach Jimbo Fisher, as longtime assistant coach Elijah Robinson has taken over the interim role for the remaining three games, including the Aggies future bowl game.
This Saturday, FCS opponent Abilene Christian will make its way to College Station for what we all deem as the annual “cupcake matchup,” but don’t expect Robinson to look past the Wildcats on the final game inside Kyle Field, as every senior player will be honored, including wide receiver Ainias Smith, safety Demani Richardson, and offensive lineman Layden Robinson.
While quarterback Max Johnson continues to heal from his reported rib injury after the loss to Ole Miss, sophomore duel threat Jaylen Henderson is less than a week removed from his four-touchdown debut in the Aggies’ 51-10 win over Mississippi State last Saturday but due to Fisher’s firing, Henderson’s incredible outing was grossly underreported.
So, turning the page back to the gridiron, here are five storylines ahead of Texas A&M’s Week 12 matchup vs. Abilene Christian.
