Texas A&M Football: Post-spring 2019 game-by-game predictions
Another tune-up contest, Texas A&M will have had ample runway to iron out the kinks on both sides of the ball before conference play arrives. Unlike the physical toll laid on the maroon and white the game before, Lamar will be a much more leisurely ramp into the heart of the schedule.
These two teams met at Kyle Field in 2014 with the Aggies blowing the doors of Lamar 73-3, that came following an extended weather delay. No matter when or where this game is played, Texas A&M will be trotting out their fourth and fifth string players on multiple units before the game is through.
With Kellen Mond unlikely to see much of the field beyond the first half, the backup quarterbacks could see their lengthiest outings of the season in this one.
Zach Calzada has turned heads during the spring. While he hasn’t done enough to lock up the QB2 spot just yet, he’s the obvious heir apparent to Mond at the position on the roster right now. Seeing him take snaps in a meaningful contest will make this one worth tuning into even if the final result is never in doubt.
