Though a QB competition is nominally underway for Texas A&M football in fall camp, most of the Maroon and White faithful expect rising sophomore Conner Weigman to trot out with the first team against New Mexico on September 2. Rightly so—it was clear last year that Weigman was the best passer in the Aggie QB room by most any metric, faint praise though that may be.
Regardless of the general offensive ineptitude (if you’ll pardon the pun) of the Aggies last year, though, Weigman’s ability has many Aggie fans excited about the potential of the passing game. Combine that with a new, (hopefully) dynamic OC and play-caller in Bobby Petrino, a talented stable of backs, an OL that returns all starters, and perhaps the most underrated WR room in the nation, and it’s not hard to see why A&M fans are dreaming big about this offense.
