For the first time since 2018, the Aggies looked dominant in a season opener against a team they are supposed to look dominant against. Offensively, the difference was night and day from the last two seasons. Throughout the Jimbo Fisher era, the offensive philosophy seemed to be one of the things that was holding A&M back the most. Even A&M’s good offensive units under Fisher have tended to make playing offense look harder than it has to be.
That changed on Saturday night with Bobby Petrino calling plays from the booth. Putting aside numbers for a second, A&M was simply more confident on offense than we’ve ever seen under Jimbo and the offense generally looked like it knew what it was doing.
