Texas A&M offense criticized for all-or-nothing first half against FCS Sam Houston State
Texas A&M is hosting Sam Houston State to open the 2022 season. Judging by the first half, it’s a good thing that the offense is working against an FCS program (transitioning to FBS) to work on some things.
The Aggie offense has been all-or-nothing in the first 2 quarters. Haynes King and Yulkeith Brown connected for a highlight 66-yard touchdown. Late in the second quarter, King and Ainias Smith connected for a 63-yard TD. With the extra point, the Aggies’ lead was extended to 17-0, the score at the half.
New offensive line coach Steve Addazio appears to have some work to do with his unit. Besides the big-play touchdowns, the passing game has been hampered by wide receiver drops.
Here’s a sample of the reaction on social media:
It's been a lackluster first half for the Texas A&M offense to say the least. Curious if the Aggies can string together a 2-minute drill.

Pretty pass by Haynes King down the left sideline for the Texas A&M touchdown. Offense had been stagnant to that point.

6 of Sam Houston's 7 drives have been three-and-outs. The Texas A&M defense is doing its job. The offense just needs to catch up

Someone should consider telling Michigan and Texas A&M about the concept of offense.

The big plays deliver excitement, but Texas A&M fans and others expect more sustained drives with consistency from the No. 6 team.
The game is currently airing on the SEC Network.
