Dos Amigos | 2026 Texas A&M Aggie Offense Preview & Position Breakdowns

Today we're just going to do a breakdown of simply the offense.

We're just going to cover the offense.

We're going to do another one next week over the defense.

But of course, where else do you start with the offense other than the quarterback? And for me personally, I'm interested to see, does Wiggins turn Marcel loose more with his legs than we saw maybe last year? If you look at the numbers, yeah, you got Marcel's going to be the starter for sure, returning starter.

Really, you could say a three-year returning starter because the one year he split with the other kid.

But yeah, he had plenty of starts under his belt.

But do we see any tweaks in the offense where we turn him loose again? Um, and, and, you know, I think part of what held them up last year, you know, was twofold and Seth's going to talk about a little bit, but, um, you know, everybody kept saying he can't throw, he can't throw.

So did we, did we focus so much on trying to prove everybody that he could throw? Did we take away part of his skillset that God gave him? Um, and then the other thing is, um, When you've got a mobile quarterback, you want to turn him loose, but you also have to keep in mind, who do I have behind him? Because every time he takes off and runs is a risk.

And so do we have capable backups that we would feel comfortable if, God forbid, he gets hurt? So those are the things I'm interested to see out of the quarterback.

I feel good about Brady Hart being the number two.

He's shown a lot of flashes.

We've got to remember that kid should be just a freshman this year, not a redshirt freshman.

He gave up a year in high school.

Seth, what's your thoughts on the quarterback?

I agree with you there.

It's kind of like I use a lot of golf analogies.

Whether you play golf or not, I think you can understand this.

But I've played golf with these guys whose clubhead speed would not be elite at all, and they just run laps around some of us.

I don't think I have great clubhead speed, but some of the younger players who can hit it a mile because they play within their game.

They're not trying to bomb a driver every hole.

They're not trying to go for it in two on every par five.

They play within their game, and at the end of the round, they're up by six strokes.

even though it wasn't flashy.

And to bring that up, I'm saying I think Marcel tried to play a different game than who he is last year.

And like me and Matt have talked about this a lot, which one was it? Was it Marcel making that decision to do that? Was it the coaching staff trying to push him into being more of a pro-style drop back 15, 20 times a game, just straight drop back defense? And then I also thought maybe the staff thinks he runs better out of a backup dropback scramble.
