2. It is time for Weigman

Haynes King had a shoulder injury that took him out of this game and brought in Conner Weigman. While Weigmna didn’t do out-of-this-world amazing things, which you can’t expect of him behind a less-than-disciplined offensive line, he is the best option the Aggies have at quarterback at this point with both Max Johnson and now Haynes King dinged up.

Even if King gets his shoulder right before Saturday against Ole Miss, it’s time to let the freshman get it figured out and get prepared for next season, because this season is a wash for the Aggies, no matter if they finish with a bowl game or if they miss one this year.

Point blank, if you don’t want a mass exodus of players at the end of this season- which may still happen- it is time to let the freshman shine and do what they came here to do, play.
