Calzada’s claim to fame is his role in A&M’s 41-38 upset of top-ranked Alabama last season. The Aggies’ backup was sprung into action and proceeded to throw for 285 yards and three touchdowns. The performance earned him the starting nod, along with Southeastern Conference Offensive Player of the Week, the Davey O’Brien Award Player of the Week, and the Maxwell Award Player of the Week awards. He’ll be competing against TJ Finley, who replaced Bo Nix, for the starting job under Bryan Harsin, who’s gained some undesirable media attention after a below-average first season. I’m not sure if Calzada’s locked into the job over Finley and Oregon transfer Robby Ashford, but that Alabama win on his résumé is a real standout.
