Lack of experience and creativity regarding play-calling hindered an Aggies offense that boasted plenty of potential in 2022. Texas A&M mustered just 22.8 points per game last season, which ranked 101st in the country and second to last in the SEC.
Enter in new offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino, whose experience with signal-callers sets up sophomore quarterback Conner Weigman for a potential breakout campaign in the fall. There’s also no lack of talent on the outside, as the Aggies have a case to be made in having one of the best wideout units consisting of Evan Stewart, Ainias Smith, and Moose Muhammad III.
