Brown has a good suggestion what to anticipate when the Minutemen (1-9) tackle the underperforming Aggies (3-7, 1-6) on Saturday (midday) at loud and proud Kyle Field.

The Aggies and the Minutemen have been mired in related dropping streaks however at considerably totally different ranges of competitors. The Aggies have misplaced six straight SEC matches, together with final weekend’s 13-10 loss to Auburn.
Football is a life pressure in Texas and dropping a half dozen doesn’t sit favorably with Aggies’ nation, residence of the notorious twelfth man. The hardcore are mobilizing with pitchforks in College Station able to storm the fortress and ship Fisher out of city on a rail.
“They have got talent on both sides of the ball and in the kicking game,” stated Brown. “We are going to have our fingers full however we’re excited in regards to the problem, that’s for positive.
“But our guys have played in pretty big stadiums and some sophisticated environments in terms of crowds and noise and so forth. I think we will be fine.”
A better have a look at the Aggies’ dropping streak revels 4 very shut video games. Like Brown, Fisher has been juggling quarterbacks since Haynes King started lacking segments of the season with a lingering arm harm. Freshman Connor Weigman accomplished 14-of-36 passes for 121 yards and a landing within the loss to Auburn.
“They have played a number of guys at the quarterback position,” stated Brown. “I’m kind of waiting to see what guy we get, but it doesn’t change their offensive flow.”
