Jackie Sherrill discusses Texas A&M's offensive showing on Saturday
Week 1 is in the rearview as Notre Dame took down Texas A&M at Kyle Field, 23-13. Legendary head coach Jackie Sherrill joined Monday's edition of TexAgs LIVE to speak on what went wrong in Saturday's contest and how the Aggies can bounce back.
Key notes from Jackie Sherrill interview
- I am a little disappointed, but there were some good things and some bad things.
- Conner Weigman looked like he was not settled. He looked off. So much is put on the quarterback. The coaches yesterday probably spent all day trying to figure out where it went wrong at quarterback.
- The defense played well enough. There were a lot of bright spots. They did not play well enough offensively to win.
- The defense was one of the bright spots. The newcomers were able to create pressure and cover. I thought we played well upfront.
- Offensively, Conner was not in sync with the receivers. There has to be reason for that. Conner's demeanor before and during the game did not seem like the same Conner we have seen in the past.
- Usually, when you see a quarterback play like that, it is against a team that is much better than you. Sometimes, it is kind of like baseball, and your pitcher just can't find the strike zone.
- You're asking yourself if you did enough heavy work in the offseason right now. After losing our running back, we probably backed off hard contact in practice.
- Usually, every team improves from the first week to the second week. A&M should be a lot better offensively this week, and hopefully, we can find some answers.
- It is not a sprint. We hired Mike Elko for a reason. Sometimes, it takes a marathon to win the race.
- You have to consider bringing in another quarterback. That is probably one of the conversations the coaches are having. I am sure it will change if Conner is not improved. He did not have the same demeanor as when he first played at A&M.
