Texas A&M was in a nail-biter against the Auburn Tigers early when starting QB Conner Weigman suffered an ankle injury. Insert backup QB Max Johnson. The Aggies needed a spark after Weigman went down, and Johnson was able to steer the ship back on course.
After Johnson settled into the game, he threw for 123 yards and two touchdowns, with one being to his little brother Jake Johnson. Evan Stewart looks like a top wideout in the SEC, contributing 50 yards and a touchdown while dealing with lingering injuries.
A pleasant change we all hoped the see was the defensive pressure all game long on the Auburn quarterbacks. DJ Durkin must have heard the rumblings of people wanting to kick him to the curb despite Jimbo’s confidence re-assertion.
It paid for the defense this week, totaling seven sacks, and held the Tigers under 200 yards of offense on their way to a 27-10 victory on Saturday.
