Why Texas A&M can cover
The Aggies are led by sophomore quarterback Conner Weigman. Weigman, who made four starts as a freshman, came out hot against New Mexico in last week's season opener, completing 18 of 23 passes for 236 yards and a career-high five touchdowns. He matched his career high in scoring passes in the first half with four. Entering the year, Weigman was the only FBS player with more than 120 pass attempts that didn't throw an interception, and the only SEC player with more than 85 pass attempts in 2022 without a pick.
One of Weigman's many weapons is sophomore wide receiver Noah Thomas. He earned a starting job after a productive offseason, and went off in the season opener. He logged the first multi-touchdown game of his career with three scoring receptions against New Mexico. He came up with a 15-yard score in the back of the end zone in the first quarter, and then hauled in 34- and 9-yard TD grabs in the second. His three touchdown receptions were the most by an Aggies player since Christian Kirk had three in the Belk Bowl against Wake Forest in 2017. See which team to pick here.
Why Miami can cover
The Hurricanes are led by quarterback Tyler Van Dyke, who will be looking to return to his 2021 form when he was named the ACC Rookie of the Year. He suffered a right shoulder injury in 2022 and missed a significant amount of time in the second half of the season. Van Dyke took over starting duties three games into the 2021 season and ended the year with 2,931 yards passing with 25 touchdowns and just six interceptions. He completed 62.3% of his passes. In limited time last season, he finished with 1,844 yards passing with 10 touchdowns and five interceptions.
Defensively, Miami has a pair of defensive linemen ready to raise havoc on opposing offenses. Playing an important part will be sophomore Leonard Taylor III and junior Akheem Mesidor. Mesidor, who transferred to Miami before last season after two years at West Virginia, has 25 career tackles for loss and 16.5 sacks in three seasons. He finished 2022 with a team high-tying 10.5 tackles for loss, a team-best seven sacks and 38 total tackles. Taylor finished with 10.5 tackles for loss, three sacks and 24 tackles.
