In one of the most anticipated games on the Hurricanes’ schedule, No. 13 Miami was unable to overcome the No. 24 Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday night at Kyle Field, losing 17-9 in its first road game of the season.
“We came up short, there’s no sugar coating that,” Miami head coach Mario Cristobal said. “We have to go and get better and eliminate issues that hurt us in this game.”
Despite scoring only 14 points last week against Appalachian State, the Aggies (2-1) came out strong on offense. Quarterback Max Johnson and running back Devon Achane used a seven-play, 55-yard drive to bring Texas A&M into field goal range, where kicker Randy Bond put the Aggies up 3-0 with his 26-yard chip shot.
