2. Conner Weigman will have a huge game

Texas A&M hasn’t had a quarterback quite this talented in years and I think we’re going to see him flourish this season in the SEC.

That starts on Saturday afternoon.

Weigman is coming off his best game as an Aggie, passing for 337 yards and a touchdown while averaging 11.6 yards per attempt. He only threw four total incompletions on 29 attempts and looked like a budding star, even though it was just UL Monroe.

The week before, he was decent against Miami but completed just 59 percent of his passes for 336 yards and had two picks to go along with his two touchdown passes. It was a tough game for him, but he bounced back nicely.

I think he’s going to have a big game against an Auburn team that has been incredibly lightly tested against the likes of Samford, Cal, and UMass. This is the best team that the Tigers have seen yet and Weigman is the best quarterback as well.
