Texas A&M QB Conner Weigman is confident in his receiving options ahead of facing Florida
Texas A&M (1-1) will face the Florida Gators (1-1) in Gainsville on Saturday afternoon. The first SEC road matchup looks like a critical game on paper for both programs.
Taking center stage, starting quarterback Conner Weigman showed some improvement during the Aggies' 52-10 win over McNeese State. His footwork issues led to a career-low performance against Notre Dame the week prior.
Although Weigman only lasted two quarters due to the score, his accuracy and overall confidence led to five consecutive scoring drives. The redshirt sophomore knows this is just the beginning of his 2024 journey, but he'll need help from his wide receiver corps.
Earlier this week, I examined A&M's wide receiver room after the win, noting that even against an FCS opponent, the receivers who took the field failed to consistently gain separation in their routes, which is now becoming a constant issue.
It's not for lack of talent; La Tech WR Cyrus Allen leads the team with 100 receiving yards, but that primarily game against McNeese after recording 75 yards. Still, Weigman noted during Monday's press conference that utilizing each receiver's skillset is key to finding a balanced offensive attack.
Texas A&M will travel to Gainsville to take on the Florida Gators on Saturday, Sept. 14 at 2:30 p.m. CT. The game will air on ABC.
