Jimbo Fisher weighs in on Texas A&M's disappointing home loss to Mississippi State

Jimbo Fisher and the Texas A&M Aggies suffered a disappointing home loss against unranked Mississippi State on Saturday night in College Station.

The Aggies had a chance to put together a game-winning drive late, but that drive instead ended in a safety as the Bulldogs held on for a 26-22 win.

After the game, Fisher spoke about his team’s performance. Once considered a College Football Playoff contender, the Aggies are now sitting at 3-2 on the season.

Here’s what Fisher had to say after the disappointing loss:

On the performance of star RB Isaiah Spiller:

Jimbo Fisher on Isaiah Spiller: "I thought he played one of his better games today. … He's always a team leader who plays his heart out. Physical guy. We have to keep getting him the ball."

On the struggles of the defense:

Jimbo Fisher: "We gave up too many controlled drives. They ate so much clock. We only had four possessions in the second half. We have to get more three-and-outs."

Jimbo Fisher on A&M's defense: "We weren't doing a good job covering in man, so we mixed in some man and zone. We did not do a good job in coverage."

The Aggies don’t get much time to recover. No. 1 Alabama comes to College Station next weekend.
