THE Texas A&M The football team returned from a bye this weekend and earned a double-digit win over Mississippi State, led by junior quarterback Conner Weigman.
No. 14 Aggies (6-1, 4-0 SEC) defeated the Bulldogs (1-6, 0-4) by a final score of 34-24 Saturday night at Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville. Despite entering the match 100% healthyWeigman didn’t look sharp against any conference foe.
“I thought before halftime he was in a good position,” coach Mike Elko said after the game. “I think in the second half he got a little fast. I kept telling him on the sidelines to slow down.”
In the first 30 minutes of action, Weigman went 7 of 11 for 121 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception. In the second halfhe was 8 of 14 for 96 yards and 1 interception.
Elko has made it clear this season that Weigman is his guy. But if the upperclassman signal caller doesn’t play more consistently in the future, the 12th man will continue to call the redshirt freshman QB. Marcel Reed to replace him as holder.
Texas A&M will host LSU at home on Saturday, October 26 at 6:30 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcast on ABC.
