Texas A&M Aggies star player already starting trouble with Miami ahead of College Football Playoff match
Texas A&M Aggies captain Trey Zuhn III makes it very clear he isn’t afraid of the Miami Hurricanes
The Texas A&M Aggies have punched their ticket to the College Football Playoff for the 2025 season. The College Football Playoff Committee has named the Aggies the No. 7 seed, and the Aggies will host the No. 10 Miami Hurricanes at Kyle Field on December 20th. This will be the first playoff appearance for either school, so there’s plenty at stake beyond just championship hopes for both schools.
However, like every great game, there’s going to be bad blood brewing between both schools, and the length of time before kickoff is only going to add to the animosity. The Aggies have built a chip on their shoulder under head coach Mike Elko, so it’s no surprise to see them already begin jawing at the Hurricanes.
Trey Zuhn III makes his stance on Miami Hurricanes clear
“I haven’t had the time to watch any film yet since it just got announced, but I don’t think he’ll be a threat that we need to worry about too much,” Zuhn said. “We have great players. We have a great offensive line. So, we’ll be able to handle him.”
Teams respond to their captains, and Trey Zuhn III is a well-respected team leader and captain. Naturally, he’s going to be confident in declaring that they’ll be able to handle Rueben Bain Jr in their upcoming matchup, and the team is going to feed off of that confidence.
It’s not like his confidence is entirely misplaced either. Zuhn has allowed just one sack all season, and the Aggies’ offensive line has combined to allow just three all season long. It helps that quarterback Marcel Reed is a gifted scrambler, but A&M is putting together an excellent season up front on the offensive line. Zuhn being confident in the room being able to contain Bain, who is a tremendous player in his own right, isn’t mere boasting.
It probably wouldn’t be my strategy to try and add more fuel to Bain’s fire in such a pivotal matchup, but this is the type of culture Elko has instilled in the program. The Aggies are confident, hungry, and eager to wash out the bad taste of their loss to Texas. They’re going to jaw and chirp at the Hurricanes throughout the off period.
Grab your popcorn, because this one could get fun.
