Texas A&M (4-2, 1-2) tied it at 38 when Zach Calzada connected with Ainias Smith for a 25-yard touchdown with three minutes left. “I didn’t know what to get him, so we thought as a team that we should get a win for him,” Small said.Īlabama (5-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) had scored 21 straight points - capped by a TD reception and 2-point conversion grab by Jameson Williams - to take a 38-31 lead with five minutes to go. ![]() If the returning starters lose their job it’s because those young guys took tremendous leaps.The victory came on Fisher’s 56th birthday and is certainly Texas A&M’s biggest win since Fisher took over in 2018. The position has also been recruited very well over the previous two cycles. The offensive line returns three starters, plus Ryan McCollum who started a few games in 2018. However, it’s entirely possible I could be wrong here. It’s hard to imagine losing a guy who set the single season school rushing record in his only year with Jimbo and the rush offense being the same. Add Jalen Preston, 4-star receiver from 2018, and Dylan Wright, 4-star receiver from 2019, and a freakish athlete at tight end in Baylor Cupp, and the offense could have that deep threat ability to bring it all together. His returning weapons are presumably healthy and should also be better. Mond will get better with another year learning from Jimbo. Kellen Mond showed obvious improvement with one year under Fisher, but it was difficult for him to develop a rapport with his wide receivers who were seldom available on a week to week basis due to injury. The passing offense as a whole could be better in 2018, but also more specifically the Aggies may be better at pushing the ball vertically. The question is, can they match the production in 2018 after losing a handful of starters on that side of the ball?
