From Hero to Zero? Criticism faces Jimbo Fisher, Texas A&M offense following Week 2 loss to App State
Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher's offense came under attack following a lackluster performance in a 17-14 loss at home to App State in Week 2. The passing numbers during his tenure in College Station suggests that the problem isn't easily fixable with a quarterback change.
Texas A&M faithful were ready to build a statue in Jimbo Fisher’s honor over the offseason when the Aggies’ head coach won a verbal spat against Alabama’s Nick Saban. Two games through the season, those same fans worry that Fisher’s offense is outdated.
A 17-14 home loss to App State appears to be the straw that broke Fisher’s invincibility cloak in College Station. The offense only scored one touchdown in Week 2 – a 26-yard touchdown run by Devon Achane. He also returned a kickoff for a touchdown in the loss. The Aggies only ran 38 offensive plays in the entire game. Quarterback Haynes King was 13 of 20 for 97 yards. His long completion was 19 yards.
