Texas A&M has had a rough go this season. On Saturday, things turned hilarious.
The Aggies entered the half up just 10-3 on the UMass Minutemen. At 3-7, A&M really can’t afford to lose. That they’ve played tight with lowly 1-9 UMass isn’t great. Pressure has mounted on head coach Jimbo Fisher lately and criticism has followed him everywhere. A poor performance against a one-win team can’t be good for him either.
The trouble is that it hasn’t gone away. Things went from bad to worse for the Aggies as the half came to a close.
Aggies quarterback Conner Weigman went back to pass. A hilarious result followed.

247Sports writer Chris Hummel tweeted, “This play epitomizes A&M’s season thus far.” Boy, did it ever. It felt reminiscent of Jameis Winston’s infamous throw in the Rose Bowl. Surely, not a memory that head coach Jimbo Fisher wanted to relive anytime soon.
It’s been a bad year in College Station in a few ridiculous ways. Last week, Mushin Muhammad III was benched for an absurd reason. Jimbo has been roasted over and over and over again. Imagine what will happen now.
The college football world proceeded to laugh at the expense of Texas A&M after the blooper by Weigman.
Reminds me a little of the Jameis Rose Bowl fumble https://t.co/FtlG2ISQZ1
