Everything Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher had to say about Arkansas in advance of this weekend's meeting. From ChoateMason:
As the No. 10 Arkansas Razorbacks get set to take on No. 23 Texas A&M this Saturday, Aggies head coach Jimbo Fisher met with the media to preview the contest.Fisher went in depth about the challenge the Razorbacks present in all three phases of the game."I think first of all, Sam does a great job coaching," Fisher said."They have a veteran offensive line. They've got four returning starters on the offensive line. They've got a veteran quarterback. Backs have played.
"I think it's deceptive," Fisher said."They've been ahead in games, so you force the other team to throw the ball a lot. I think that's part of it too when they've gotten leads, gotten ahead of people, so people are going to throw the ball more.""Numbers can be really good and sometimes they can be skewed or deceiving too. They're athletic in the secondary and can make plays all over. They've got a good team.
"Big receivers that can run," Fisher said."I know Warren Thompson was a guy that we recruited when I was leaving Florida State big-time. Haselwood, I remember him out of high school. can really fly, can run and play."A native of Denton, Texas, Razorback linebacker Drew Sanders was recruited by Fisher and the Aggies out of high school.
Fisher said Sanders reached out to the Aggies when he hit the transfer portal, but they were over their scholarship number.
