Texas A&M‘s revamped offense was on full display in their season opener, and now they’ll take their high-octane passing attack to South Beach as they face the Miami Hurricanes in Week 2.
There is no shortage of storylines to follow as both of these teams seek a statement win for respective bounce-back seasons. The Aggies’ offensive line will play a key role in deciding which team comes out on top. At the same time, Texas A&M defensive lineman and Florida native Shemar Stewart has indicated that the matchup will be a business trip, plain and simple.
The Maroon and White enter as slight favorites according to the early betting odds, which speaks to how the oddsmakers expect a highly-contested affair between these two teams. Both programs brought in new play-callers to revive their respective offenses, and coincidentally, both looked good in respective Week 1 blowout wins.
Still, once the final whistle sounds on Saturday, only one team can emerge with a 2-0 record. Texas A&M, who has no shortage of talent at nearly all levels on offense and defense, will need to replicate their highly efficient play from last weekend. Additionally, they’ll need to execute a bit better on the clear areas of growth coming out of their romp of New Mexico.
Ahead of Week 2, here are the keys to victory as Texas A&M travels to face Miami.
