Texas A&M (2-1) got back into the win column with a 47-3 rout of UL Monroe (2-1) Saturday afternoon. For at least another week, the Aggies’ season has been saved, to the chagrin of the cynics.
The Maroon and White had to respond with an efficient performance on both sides of the ball following their humbling loss to Miami last weekend. A thorough double-digit victory against the Warhawks was just what the doctor ordered before the Aggies start the SEC part of their schedule next Saturday.
Conner Weigman continues to profile as the game-changing quarterback that this football program needs to reach new heights. His explosive performance even caught the eye of a legendary Aggies quarterback who was in attendance. In spite of playing without his top target, Texas A&M’s receiving group, led by Ainias Smith and Jahdae Walker, torched the Warhawks’ secondary for over 100 receiving yards apiece.
It proved to be a highly efficient day on both sides of the football, with the Aggies giving up just a field goal to UL Monroe. Still, as the regular season truly begins against Auburn next Saturday, it’s clear there are still areas to address, particularly when it comes to the defense generating pressure.
Here are the five immediate takeaways from Texas A&M’s 47-3 rout of UL Monroe.
