COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- During its first practice of spring football and its first practice of August training camp, among the first things Texas A&M's offense did under new head coach Jimbo Fisher was line up in the I-formation.
As five offensive linemen and a tight end positioned themselves in three-point stances, the quarterback lined up under center, took the snap and practiced handoffs to a running back lined up 7 yards deep. It was quite the contrast from the air raid days under former coach Kevin Sumlin.
Fisher's unspoken message was clear: This is a pro-style offense, and Texas A&M will run the football.
