Every college football team gets handed a humbling loss, and No. 23 Texas A&M (1-1) endured its own following their 48-33 defeat to Miami (2-0) in Week 2.
In a game where the Aggies relinquished their early momentum, the Hurricanes’ pursuit of revenge proved to be too much for Texas A&M to counter. As quarterback Tyler Van Dyke finished 21/30 for 374 yards and five touchdowns, it underscored the porous play from the Aggies secondary.
On a multitude of occasions, Texas A&M’s backend unit displayed poor performance when tackling in the open field. That was coupled with a curious lack of pressure from the Aggies defensive front, as it felt like Van Dyke had long stretches to make plays comfortably in the pocket.
Despite 336 passing yards and two touchdowns from Conner Weigman, Texas A&M’s offense wasn’t enough to claw back from a double-digit deficit. After the loss, Demani Richardson and Layden Robinson spoke to the media to echo their confidence in this team to bounce back.
Below are Richardson and Robinson’s full postgame press conferences, as well as key highlights from their time speaking to the media.
