Ahead of Texas A&M's Week 7 non-conference contest against The Citadel, the program's promising sophomore running back says the team must work together to fix the recent rushing attack woes.
The Aggies have been outrushed in three games so far this season, averaging just 144.0 rushing yards per contest, which ranks No. 11 in the Southeastern Conference. Despite splitting playing time with Rueben Owens II and KJ Edwards, Jamarion Morrow has been a solid contributor in his second season with the Aggies. Morrow has recorded 68 yards and a touchdown through three games played, even with being absent for a three-game stretch against Kentucky, LSU and Arkansas.
With Morrow back at 100 percent, his contributions will amplify in the coming weeks, as Texas
A&M searches for answers offensively. It will take more than Morrow for the Aggies to get back on track, however. According to the Memphis, Tennessee, native, the rushing attack can only go as far as the whole team will take it.
"It's a team thing. Receivers got to do better blocking, we got to do better pressing the runs, we got to do better understanding where we're running, line has to do better getting a little bit more push. It's a team thing when it comes to the run game," Morrow said.
In the 27-6 loss to Missouri in Week 6, the Aggies had just 27 total rushing yards on 23 carries and were under 250 for the second time this season. With four new starters up front, the offensive line has struggled to establish physicality in the trenches, which the ground game needs to improve moving forward.
Texas A&M will have a prime opportunity to gain confidence and dominate the run game on Saturday, as they host The Citadel for the final non-conference contest of the 2026 season. The matchup against the Bulldogs is slated for 11 a.m. CT on SEC Network+.
