Who will be Texas A&M's starting QB today? Exploring Aggies' depth chart ahead of week 6 game vs. Alabama
The Texas A&M Aggies will have their hands full when they host Nick Saban's Alabama at their home. Both teams have a similar record so far this season, going on to win four games and losing just one game in their campaign.
The Texas A&M Aggies have made a strong comeback after their Week 2 loss at the hands of the Miami Hurricanes. They went on to record three consecutive victories against Louisiana-Monroe, Auburn, and Arkansas, winning each of those games with double digits. However, Aggies coach Jimbo Fisher will have to ensure that his team is flawless on the field if they want to hand Alabama their second defeat of the season.
No.11 ranked Alabama has a lot of work to do as well if they want to continue being one of the dominant teams in college football. Nick Saban's team suffered an upset loss at the hands of Texas in Week 2 at the Bryant Denny Stadium. But it looks like the Crimson Tide are locked in on their goal of making it to the college football playoffs this year and improving on their 2023 campaign record.
Max Johnson will continue shouldering the responsibilities of being the starting quarterback in the absence of Conner Weigman. Weigman injured himself during their game against Auburn and will miss the rest of the season because of a broken bone in his foot.
Max Johnson, who transferred from LSU before the start of last season, took to the field as QB1 during last weekend's game against Arkansas. Johnson showcased his capabilities and experience in that game, going on to put up 210 passing yards with two passing touchdowns.
He knows what it is like to face Nick Saban's Alabama during his stint with LSU. So it might be a key factor in his mental preparation to go head-on with them today.
