Week 6 Players Press Conference

Week 6 Players Press Conference

Week 5 of the 2022 college football season is in the books and Texas A&M is now facing the beast that is the 5-0 Alabama Crimson Tide, who are back at No.1 in both the AP and USA TODAY Coaches poll after defeating the Arkansas Razorbacks on Saturday afternoon.

On the other side, the Aggies fell to 3-2 after their disappointing 42-24 loss to Mississippi State in Starkville, continuing to show that their problems on offense are far from fixed, or even slightly mended, while youth and scheme issues on defense began to show its colors in the second half as the Bulldogs proceeded to dominate the Aggies in all three phases of the game.

On Monday, head coach Jimbo Fisher, along with a group of key players spoke to the local media just two days removed from the loss, explaining what went wrong, and previewing their highly publicized primetime matchup with Alabama.

Here are the most notable quotes from Fadil Diggs, Max Wright, and Antonio Johnson during Monday’s week 6 press conference.
