Texas A&M defensive back Brian George ejected for targeting vs Miami
Texas A&M’s defense was doing work against Miami to start the game Saturday night. But then, the Aggies lost one of their defenders after a targeting penalty.
Brian George was ejected in the first quarter after a big hit on Miami running back Henry Parrish on the first play of the drive. Texas A&M had just scored a touchdown to take a 10-3 lead when the foul occurred.
It was George’s second appearance for the Aggies this season after seeing game action against Sam Houston State. In that game, he had one tackle and one pass defended.

Texas A&M is trying to bounce back from a rough loss to Appalachian State last week at Kyle Field. The Aggies were already shorthanded against Miami with multiple players out due to a violation of team rules.
Texas A&M to be without Evan Stewart, multiple other contributors against Miami
The hits keep coming for Texas A&M, as the Aggies will be without some of their impact players for Saturday’s contest against Miami.
Last week, the Aggies suffered a demoralizing defeat to Appalachian State. Now, with no small task coming to College Station in the Hurricanes, Jimbo Fisher will be coaching without athletes like Evan Stewart, according to reports.
In addition to Stewart, reports mention that wide receiver Chris Marshall and defensive backs Smoke Bouie and Denver Harris will also miss Saturday’s game for a violation of team rules. It’s a disappointing turn of events as the Aggies look for a huge victory.
Fisher is fresh off praising two of the aforementioned players — wide receivers Stewart and Marshall — prior to last weekend’s loss. However, it’s evident something happened over the last week that’s now causing them to miss Saturday’s huge game for the Aggies.
Nevertheless, Texas A&M needs a victory as bad as anyone in the nation, especially when you consider they had College Football Playoff hopes before the season. Time will tell if they can send Miami home with a loss, or if the Hurricanes beat them into a tailspin.
