Auburn showed a lot of fight in its overtime loss to Mississippi State, and the crowd at Jordan-Hare Stadium will be fired up to support Williams in his first home game in his position. That makes this game against Auburn a must-win for the slumping Aggies.įor all the parallels between these two, the Tigers' situation is notable in that they seemed to get some energy from interim coach Cadillac Williams last week.
If it is to accomplish that goal, it cannot afford any more missteps. Now, Texas A&M is fighting just to reach a bowl game this season. Considering the Aggies started the season as a top-10 team, it's hard to believe that they are in this position. With its loss to Florida last week, Texas A&M dropped five straight games for the first time since 1980. The team that loses, however, will not even be able to reach the six wins necessary for bowl eligibility. But he said it’s up to the Giants to not let that setback dictate their fate.Together, Auburn and Texas A&M have combined for 10 straight defeats, but one of these teams is guaranteed to break their skid and leave Jordan-Hare Stadium with a much-needed victory on Saturday. Martindale admitted McKinney’s injury will have an impact. That likely means coordinator Wink Martindale will be starting three rookies on his 11-man defense Sunday: first-round pick Kayvon Thibodeaux on the edge, fifth-round pick Micah McFadden at weak side linebacker and fourth-round pick Dane Belton at safety. He claimed he only broke a couple fingers, but he couldn’t say if he’ll be able to play again this season. The full extent of McKinney’s injuries still are not known.
His injuries required surgery following an off-roading accident in Cabo, Mexico. Starting safety Xavier McKinney reported back from the bye week without the use of his left hand.
Unfortunately, the week began ominously already for Daboll’s Giants. That’s what makes Sunday’s game against Houston intriguing, even if it isn’t a sexy matchup: These are the games that will solidify the Giants as a playoff team if they win.
