Miami handled business against Miami (OH) 38-3 during Week 1, while the debut of Bobby Petrino as Aggies’ offensive coordinator resulted in a 52-point offensive showcase during Week 1’s victory over New Mexico.

In 14 seasons of head coaching experience, Petrino boasts a 119-56 record and three top-six finishes (2004, 2006, 2011). Petrino’s earned his significant accolades against significant talent. At Arkansas, Petrino’s offenses ranked second in the SEC in scoring in 2010 (36.5 points per game) and first in 2011 (36.8 points per game).

“It was great,” Fisher said of Petrino after Week 1. “We were talking back and forth, what we could go to, what we could not. Giving suggestions of what we think we could see down there. Reminding things we do in the game plan, just like we do in the meetings. It was excellent. I had fun, a lot of fun.”

With both teams coming into the weekend feeling hot, on Saturday, ESPN’s College GameDay host Kirk Herbstreit revealed his thoughts on the matchup heading into the Week 2 battle.

“I look at this game and I’d say you know, 5-7 last year for Texas A&M, 5-7 last year for Miami here,” Herbstreit said Saturday on College GameDay. “Here they are week two, they met last year, was not a pretty game from Miami. Maybe because I like Mario (Cristobal). Maybe I had such high expectations in his first year that he would go back to his alma mater and a chance to kind of get them going and it just fell flat. 

“Here he is in Year 2. I don’t know if there’s a game out there or a team and a coach needs a win more than Miami against Texas A&M. Tyler Van Dyke, last week, looked great with their new scheme and how they’re attacking, just like (Conner) Weigman looks really good.”
