For about 13 minutes, the Aggies looked like a championship-caliber team, but the other 47 minutes looked the same or worse than the 5-7 team from last year. The ACC has started off hot against SEC opponents, so this was a good game to test their team identity against a formidable foe in the Miami Hurricanes.
A 48-33 loss comes with much criticism, which should be the case. However, for now, I want to take a few moments to talk about how much better the offense looks with Bobby Petrino calling the offense. Since I’m going to make an excuse for now, the Aggies made a poor decision with the cleats they wore during the game.
There were many instances of the Aggies slipping and falling down all game. A few times, it looked like a golfer took a huge divot when Conner Wiegman would step up to throw the ball.
The offense showed some encouraging improvement over last year’s team, but the offensive line still needs work. The defense was less than inspiring, and DJ Durkin has some serious things to consider with his scheme going forward.
Below, you can check out the best photos from the game on Saturday.
