The best word to describe Texas A&M’s 2022 football season is, and always will be inconsistency. No matter the matchup week to week, and yes, the program has dealt with a flurry of mid-season injuries, ugly football is still ugly football no matter the excuses that lie within each defeat.
After last weekend’s 41-24 loss to the Florida Gators, Texas A&M has now lost 5 games in a row for the first time since the 1980 season. To make matters worse, on Monday afternoon, 2023 5-Star linebacker Anthony Hill, who committed to the program in late July, de-committed from the program, and will visit the Texas Longhorns this weekend as they take on TCU.
On Monday, head coach Jimbo Fisher and select players spoke to the local media, reflecting on the loss to the Gators, and looking ahead to this weekend’s road matchup against the equally struggling Auburn Tigers.
Here are the most notable quotes from Jimbo Fisher during Monday afternoon’s press conference.

“We have to find those inches and continue to get better.”
