Jimbo Fisher and the Texas A&M Aggies had a chance to bounce back from a loss to Ole Miss this week against overmatched Prairie View A&M.
That’s exactly what they did, cruising to a big 52-3 win over Prairie View.
After the game, Fisher had plenty to say, updating a couple of injury situations, evaluating his quarterback and second-team offense and more.
Here’s some of what Fisher said in his postgame press conference:
