1. Wydermeyer, Spiller, and Achane were bright spots

The Aggies needed some serious help offensively, but the triplets of Jalen Wydermeyer, Isaiah Spiller, and Devon Achane really showed up as much as they could and helped the Aggies win the game.

Wydermeyer and Achane made quite a few third-down conversions that changed the game and then Spiller caught the game-winning touchdown.

It was quite exciting to watch the final two drives for the Aggies.

These three players will be instrumental in making sure that Zach Calzada really gets where he needs to be for the New Mexico game and then SEC play after that. Look for those guys to really help out. I’m not sure that anyone else will really emerge this season outside of those three, though I would love to see Demond Demas or Baylor Cupp get more touches.
