The gauntlet that is the SEC regular season continues forward as Texas A&M (3-1, 1-0 SEC) faces Arkansas (2-2, 0-1 SEC) on Saturday. The head-to-head also marks the next chapter of the Southwest Classic.
The Maroon and White are coming off a hard-fought 27-10 win over Auburn last weekend, and Jimbo Fisher echoed the same in his weekly press conference. The Aggies head coach touted the superb play of the defense, which recorded a season-high seven sacks against the Tigers.
Of course, he spotlighted Max Johnson, who performed more than admirably in the wake of Conner Weigman exiting early with an ankle injury. On the latter, Fisher provided a brief, but significant update on the sophomore quarterback, whose status will be key to monitor ahead of Saturday’s matchup.
In addition, Fisher provided an update on Noah Thomas, how the team is preparing for a physical matchup with the Razorbacks, as well as his thoughts on the future of the Southwest Classic, with the SEC set to expand in 2024.
Below is Jimbo Fisher’s full press conference ahead of this week’s Arkansas matchup, as well as notable highlights from his time at the podium.
