00:02 Okay, so now the Aggies have a very interesting predicament coming up this
00:07 year at Texas A&M.
00:09 Obviously a very big season for them, I think, Bill, I don't know about you.
00:12 But of course, Jimbo Fisher there,
00:14 as the head coach Bobby Petrino has joined forces there.
00:18 And look, the Aggies need to get that offense going.
00:20 And I think that's why they brought in Bobby Petrino.
00:23 But I guess the question is, what will that look like as far as calling plays?
00:28 >> Well, Jimbo didn't just come out and say it, right?
00:31 So he creates this narrative or story by just not coming out and say, hey,
00:37 I'm calling the plays in week one.
00:39 Or hey, Bobby's gonna call the plays in week one.
00:41 Or even better, we're gonna collaborate as the season goes on and
00:45 we'll have a feel and go from there.
00:47 One thing's for certain, Texas A&M ranked 101st in scoring offense last season,
00:52 22.8 points per game.
00:54 It was brutal.
00:55 And their quarterback's under Jimbo Fisher.
00:58 He hasn't had a 3,000 yard passer since Kellen Mond in his first season.
01:02 So I think they just have to have an open mind, we all do.
01:06 Bobby Petrino's a great offensive mind.
01:09 We saw what he did with Lamar Jackson.
01:12 We saw everything there.
01:13 And as long as there's this not clash of egos between the two,
01:20 I think Texas A&M's gonna have success.
01:22 In fact, I think they're a sleeper in the SEC if they get that offense going when
01:27 you look at the pieces they have.
01:28 Connor Wigman threw eight touchdowns with no interceptions last year.
01:32 Evan Stewart's a five star receiver looking to break out.
01:35 And Reuben Owens is a running back we haven't really heard a lot about, but
01:39 I think he could have a big season in that offense as well.
01:41 I do like their sleeper appeal, but
01:43 it's all gonna hinge on Fisher and Petrino's relationship in the booth.
