Storylines, injuries for Miami-TAMU
Texas A&M makes quarterback change: After going with Haynes King at quarterback for the first two games of the season, the Aggies making the switch to Max Johnson. The junior previously played for the LSU Tigers before transferring in the offseason and has 3,907 passing yards, 35 touchdowns and seven interceptions in his career, completing 60.0 percent of his passes. He’s son of former NFL quarterback Brad Johnson, who won Super Bowl 37 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the nephew of former Hurricanes coach Mark Richt.
Miami loses top receiver: Wide receiver Xavier Restrepo, who’s the Hurricanes’ leading receiver so far this year, won’t play and is out indefinitely with a foot injury. Look for fellow Brashard Smith to take on a bigger role, as well as fellow wide receiver Jacolby George, who’s returning from a two-game suspension. Both primarily play in the slot, like Restrepo.
Miami’s injuries: Not expected to play: Restrepo (foot, out indefinitely); running back TreVonte’ Citizen (knee, out for season); running back Donald Chaney Jr. (undisclosed, out several weeks). Expected to play: defensive lineman Akheem Mesidor (lower leg); tackle Zion Nelson (knee); running back Jaylan Knighton (undisclosed).
Texas A&M’s injuries: Questionable: tight end Max Wright (knee); defensive lineman Walter Nolen (leg); offensive lineman Bryce Foster (illness).
