Texas A&M (1-0) is just one sleep away from their Week 2 road matchup vs. Miami after defeating New Mexico 52-10 last Saturday in one of their more dominant season openers during Jimbo Fisher’s tenure with the program.
Behind the arm of starting quarterback Conner Weigman (18/23, 236 yards, five touchdowns), with three of his touchdowns going to sophomore wide receiver Noah Thomas, new offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino has the Aggies rolling on all cylinders, while the impressive debut for cornerback Josh DeBerry (10 tackles, one sack, one interception) was a sense of comfort for every Aggie fan unsure of the defensive backfield depth.
Earlier this week, Fisher answered a bevy of questions regarding the upcoming matchup with the Hurricanes while opining on the current injury slate the Aggies are dealing with before making their way to South Beach. First off, transfer linebacker Jurriente Davis, who finished the opener with four tackles, left the game with a minor injury, described as being “banged up” according to Fisher, is probable to return to action on Saturday.
On the offensive line, starting tackle Reuben Fatheree, who was listed as the 2nd-unit left tackle against New Mexico, was replaced at his original right tackle spot by freshman OL Chase Bisontis, who performed well in his debut. Fatheree should be ready to go tomorrow, but as we all know, Fisher won’t release the official depth chart until game time.
Lastly, freshman wide receiver Micah Tease is suspended indefinitely after his arrest, and no announcement has been made regarding his return to the lineup.
Texas A&M will face the Miami Hurricanes on Saturday, Sept. 9, which will air on ABC at 2:30 p.m. CT.
