1. Haynes King still isn’t it, Aggies

This is not an unpopular opinion, but it is one to be shared. Haynes King finished 25-of-46 for 253 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. Those numbers are not what the Aggies need when trying to knock off a top team in the nation.

King missed a number of plays that are necessary for an SEC quarterback to be able to make.

While this game was close and came down to one play, King still hasn’t figured out how to consistently make plays that win ball games.

It looked as if he was hurt in the ending seconds, so we may see a different quarterback after the bye week, but it may be better if we do either way. The Aggies have nothing to lose by putting in true freshman Connor Weigman for a game or two and that may be the best path to take for this team, in my opinion.
