All eyes will be on Texas A&M football on Saturday afternoon as the No. 23 Aggies hit the road to take on a Miami team that’s also looking to prove it belongs in the contender conversation.

The Aggies are coming off a nice win over New Mexico in the opener and Miami beat Miami (OH) convincingly to also improve to 1-0. One of these teams will suffer their first blemish of the season on Saturday and be left with plenty of question marks.

Let’s get bold ahead of Saturday’s huge game.

3. Evan Stewart accounts for over 150 receiving yards

Quite possibly the best receiver in college football not named Marvin Harrison Jr., Evan Stewart is somehow overlooked.

The former blue-chip recruit kicked off his sophomore season with a bang against New Mexico, catching eight passes for 115 yards and two touchdowns. He looked like a superstar in the first game of the season and having a quarterback as good as Conner Weigman getting him the ball definitely helps.

Stewart is going to have a nice encore performance against Miami on Saturday afternoon, catching 10 passes for 150 yards and another two touchdowns.

Will he be on the Heisman Trophy radar after this one? He absolutely should, but my guess is that he’ll continue to be underrated.
