Texas A&M was dealing with the flu before its game against Florida. Now, it seems like it may be spreading to the Tigers too.
Nathan King of 247Sports reported on Wednesday that Auburn is also feeling flu symptoms, this time after a game against Mississippi State. Head coach Cadillac Williams said in a press conference that a “couple of guys” missed practice but that he does not anticipate it to be a problem ahead of the team’s matchup with the Aggies.
Texas A&M, however, are entering a second week of problems during flu season. Head coach Jimbo Fisher mentioned that there were still some “lingering effects” of a flu outbreak that left his team severely depleted during a loss to the Florida Gators. It is unknown whether the Aggies will have players out for its matchup against the Tigers, but a depleted roster could spell misfortune for a Texas A&M team that could end up last in the SEC West with a win.
The Tigers will play the Aggies at Jordan-Hare Stadium in front of a sold out crowd on Saturday.
