Texas A&M’s 2024 season continues on Saturday. The Aggies will host McNeese State on Saturday afternoon, just a week after falling to Notre Dame 23-13 inside a packed Kyle Field.
This week, the emphasis is on offense. Starting quarterback Conner Weigman is determined to put his career-low performance behind him after throwing for just 100 yards and two interceptions. The redshirt sophomore noted that his feet were off while his emotions were high.
On the contrary, Texas A&M’s wide receiver rotation failed to gain separation consistently, leading to Weigman having to rush things mentally. However, OC Collin Klein needs to do a better job scheming receivers open.
On Wednesday, head coach Mike Elko revealed that former Troy wide receiver Jabre Barber is progressing in rehab and is “getting closer” to returning to the rotation sooner rather than later. Elko spoke to reporters during his weekly SEC Teleconference.
During his final season with Troy, Barber recorded 75 receptions, 999 yards, and five touchdowns. He possesses the quickness and versatility needed to contribute in the receiving game quickly this season.
Texas A&M will host McNeese on Saturday, Sept. 7, for an early kickoff at 11:45 a.m. The game will air on the SEC Network.
