Texas A&M (1-1) is fresh off their disappointing 48-33 road loss to the highly underrated Miami Hurricanes, who, by all means, bullied the Aggies into submission in one of the more lopsided second-half performances witnessed in the first few weeks of the 2023 season.
Ahead of the Aggies’ Week 3 home matchup vs. the visiting UL Monroe Warhawks, head coach Jimbo Fisher spoke to the media on Monday to reflect on the loss as the team resets and refocuses with ten games remaining in the regular season.
Albeit not providing any new updates regarding the injury report, the two players that are deemed to return to the lineup after missing the last two games include starting right tackle Reuben Fatheree II after recovering from his knee injury and freshman wide receiver Micah Tease—fresh off a full week of practice to get back in game shape.
Assuming Fatheree does return to the starting lineup, his size, strength, and experience on the right side of the line will only make starting quarterback Conner Weigman’s job easier after the sophomore signal caller endured blitz attempts on 33 of his 57 dropbacks against Miami.
Something to keep an eye on: Starting defensive end Shemar Turner’s recent arrest for reckless driving was unsurprisingly not mentioned by Fisher, so based on the lack of public acknowledgment, I personally expect Turner, who leads the Aggies in sacks so far this season, to start against UL Monroe.
