Jimbo Fisher addresses Texas A&M’s expectations, says team is excited to play

There are some big expectations for the Texas A&M Aggies heading into the 2020 season.

Some analysts think the Aggies have a chance to make the College Football Playoff, but they’ll need to take a step forward this fall.

As you can see below, coach Jimbo Fisher joined SiriusXM Radio on Monday and said he welcomes the pressure and is excited to get the season started:

"We're ready to play."

“We were second in the West 2 years ago,” Fisher said. “We did well. Last year, we slipped back. We had a great schedule, a young football team, but our guys battled extremely well. … We’ve recruited really well the last 2 years and have a lot of highly recruited and highly talented young players along with the older players. … Those guys are doing a great job in camp and I think the way camp has went, it’s helped those guys. We’re looking forward to the competition. … We’re ready to play.”

How will the Aggies fare this fall? We’ll see starting with their opening game against Vanderbilt on Sept. 26.
