Texas A&M 2023 Maroon and White Spring Game: First half highlights and reaction

The first half of Texas A&M’s 2023 Maroon and White game is in the books as both signal-callers flashed their arm strength, with a couple of highlight-worthy plays made by the defense.

Texas A&M is putting a bow on its spring football program with the 2023 Maroon and White Game, with all the action taking place at Kyle Field.

With Conner Weigman leading the Maroon Team and Max Johnson helming the White Team, both signal-callers looked comfortable in Bobby Petrino’s new offensive scheme. We even saw some beautiful ball placement in a highlight-worthy over-the-shoulder throw from Weigman to Evan Stewart early in the first quarter.

As for Johnson, it was the White Team that managed to find the endzone first thanks to a deep ball throw to Micah Tease after the senior signal-caller took advantage of excellent pass protection. Even in the spring, it’s always a welcome sight for a quarterback to air it out. Just before the end of the first half, Johnson would connect with tight end Fernando Garza for the White Team’s second touchdown of the half.

HALFTIME SCORE: Maroon Team: 13, White Team: 16

In a low-scoring first half, it was the defense that was on display with sophomore Walter Nolen, sporting a brand new #0 jersey number, coming up with a couple of big stops. The sophomore recorded both a pass-breakup and a tackle for loss through the first two quarters.
