COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M has played its first two games shy of veteran linebackers. That should change starting 11 a.m. Saturday against Nevada at Kyle Field – and just in time for next week’s Southeastern Conference opener against Arkansas in Arlington.
A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said junior A.J. Hilliard will return to the lineup following a two-game suspension to start the season, and sophomore Josh Walker will return from an undisclosed injury. Sophomore Otaro Alaka returned to the lineup last Saturday in the Aggies’ 56-23 whipping of Ball State, in seeing his first action of the season.
