Losing Weigman could be a huge blow to the Aggies as they find themselves in a dogfight in their SEC opener. The sophomore QB from Cypress, TX, was beginning to come into his own as a starter this season, throwing for 909 yards, eight touchdowns, and two interceptions prior to today’s game at Kyle Field. He went 8-14 for 70 yards against the Tigers prior to the injury.
Should Weigman miss the rest of the game, Jimbo Fisher and company will have to rely on the veteran Johnson to carry them through the rest of the afternoon. We’ll keep you updated on Weigman’s status.
