The 2023 season is the moment of truth for Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher. At the onset of his arrival for the 2018 season, he was presented with a national championship trophy in expectation of what would come. The problem is that those expectations have not come close to being met. In fact, outside of a 2021 NCAA Football betting win over Alabama, the Aggies have been stuck in the muck. Of great concern is Fisher’s inability to generate a productive offense. Last week against New Mexico, the Aggies were clicking as hoped.

Conner Weigman threw for 236 yards and a career-high five touchdowns. Hence, No. 23 Texas A&M rolled to a 52-10 offshore betting victory over New Mexico. Texas A&M’s 52 points were the most the team scored against an FBS opponent in the regular season since November 24, 2018.

Miami has a record of 1-0 straight up, 1-0 against the spread, and 45.5 over/under the total. Miami ranks 29th for total offense, 61st for passing, 17th for rushing, and 47th for scoring.

Coming off a shoulder injury that hindered him last season, Tyler Van Dyke connected on his first five passes. To summarize, the Hurricanes’ fourth-year quarterback finished 17 of 22 with 201 yards and an interception. He said he bruised his thumb about a week ago, but it didn’t affect him much. Van Dyke’s first pass of the year resulted in the first of four Miami Hurricanes touchdowns Friday night. Thus, they defeated the Miami-Ohio RedHawks with ease.
Last week, the Miami Hurricanes hosted the “other” Miami, the Redhawks of Ohio. It was an important season opener for head coach Mario Cristobal and The U. In 2022, it was a catastrophe campaign that ended without a bowl game. Perhaps expectations were too high and still are. Cause by Cristobal is all about recruiting and the future. This week, Miami will get a tremendous test regarding Cristobal’s progress when they host the Texas A&M Aggies.
