Miami Football: 5 questions with Texas AM site Gig ‘Em Gazette
Canes Warning and our FanSided Texas A&M partner site Gig ‘Em Gazette exchanged five questions ahead of the game between the Miami football team and Texas A&M on Saturday. Miami and Texas A&M were two of the most disappointing teams in college football in 2022.
The Texas A&M and Miami football teams each finished the 2022 season with 5-7 records. The Miami football team enters the game on Saturday after a 38-3 win over Miami (Ohio) in its season opener. Texas A&M began the season with a 52-10 win over New Mexico. Miami and Texas A&M bring dubious streaks into Saturday’s game.
The 17-9 loss at Texas A&M in 2022 was the eighth straight by the Miami football team versus a Power Five non-conference opponent. The last Miami win versus a Power Five non-conference opponent was the memorable 41-8 win over Notre Dame in 2017. Miami also has a five-game losing streak versus SEC teams.
The Miami football team last defeated an SEC team with a 21-16 win at Florida in 2013. All five losses were versus different opponents. Texas A&M enters the game on Saturday with six consecutive road losses. The Aggies have not won a road game since defeating Missouri in Columbia during the 2021 season.
Miami and Texas A&M have been two of the most publicized teams during the offseason and not often for the right reasons. The expectations for the Aggies and Hurricanes to bounce back have been met with cautious optimism. The winner on Saturday will receive praise, while the loser will continue to have its skeptics.
