a&m v south carolina

[rjv]

time to start off the year!

of course, brutal first game for a&m. on the road, starting true freshmen on the defensive side (again) due to injuries and retention issues. sc will run and run and run against the aggies at will. on the offensive side, a&m may try to expose the weak defensive front of the gamecocks and that is one advantage aggies decidedly have. but they will be with a young QB and that could cause some TO's that will give SC a short field. may be a sloppy game at times and i think the aggies will show signs of things to come but, in the end, SC wins going away.

cocks 38
ags 21


PS-is anyone going to start a college pick' em thread this year as is our tradition in here?

[DesignatedT]

SC has some small LB's and a young and depleted secondary. I think A&M puts up more than 21.

I don't have much faith in the defense for obvious reasons but if they can create some turnovers (forced or unforced) then I think that will be enough to keep A&M in the game until the end.

First thought is playing a game of this magnitude the first game of the year is a disadvantage for A&M but I'm not sure how you can truly gauge that. I think there are a lot of unknowns here that could come into play. For that reason, I will take the 10' points Vegas is giving A&M.

yeah, SC has a very thin LB corp to boot. my concern is TO's. that we would move the ball but turn it over and that spurrier will manage the clock well by running the ball against our inexperienced front line. so although i think we will move the ball well the former reasons are why i'm going with 21 points. but i am stoked about checking out some of the freshmen and redshirts as well.

[DesignatedT]

I do think they will be able to successfully run the ball and in turn be able to take shots at us deep off the play-action which is recipe for disaster for our young secondary (freshman starting at CB and freshman starting at S). There QB has experience and has played in big games but he doesn't have the arm that Shaw had so just assuming he will be accurate with his throws isn't an assumption I'm ready to make.

Offensively, if we start to turn the ball over then I don't think we have much of a chance but I'm not sure why we would. Our RB stable should be able to handle the ball a lot to take some pressure off of Hill and Hill isn't really known to be a guy who forces the issue. I'd be a lot more worried about turnovers if Allen were getting the start tbh. We have some talent on the outside that have the ability to make some big plays in space so getting those guys the ball (Seals Jones, Clear, Noil) and running the ball with our three headed monster behind our experienced O-line will be key.

I do agree that turnovers, as well as penalties are the two big keys to this game (and all games the first week).

[DesignatedT]

The Mike Davis injury could come into play as well even if he plays. Bad ribs are nothing to scoff at for an RB. I know he will play but if he takes a couple shots early it could affect the way he's running the ball.

[yavozerb]

You guys know the ATM team much better than I, but a road game against a quality opponent with a young starting qb and sub par defense equals a disaster in my opinion.
SC 35
ATM 10

[ColinB]

We could always do a Yahoo Pick 'Em. I know that sort of loses the point of using teams that forum members are a fan of, but just a thought.

I like South Carolina by two TDs. 42-28.

I would be completely shocked if we scored only 10.

[Juan]

I got A&M with the upset 35-30

[Thompson]

I think our pass rush will have our defense looking much better this year (it was non-existent last year, and gave quarterbacks all the time they needed).

I'll hope for the upset. A&M 24 - SC 21.

doesn't help that d'shante davis is out for the game. they'll have to start a redshirt freshman (victor davis) at CB.

[DesignatedT]

Devante Harris missing does hurt. Hoping Victor can be a nice surprise. Starting the true freshman Watts at Safety will also be interesting. I do agree our pass rush will be night an day. Hall & Garrett should be able to put pressure on. Much more worried about our interior d-line and LBs stopping the run.

[Avante]

Four sailors in a row boat equipped with sling shots vs a battleship stand a better chance than A&M does vs SC. It's just how badly with the Aggies get beat?

I hope your assessment is wrong cause if you cannot stop the run in the SEC then pass rushing becomes null and void.

[DesignatedT]

Certain teams will be able to take advantage but not all teams. A&M couldn't stop the run last year for shit but they will be better this year. Still won't be great by any means though. If they start to load the box and force teams to throw then pass rush becomes essential in that scenario; and A&M should be pretty solid in that area this season.

[Twisted_Dawg]

It will be interesting to see what schemes and adjustments the Aggie DC Snyder rolls out. Seemed like most of last year this guy was brain dead rushing only four guys who all got easily handled one on one. Later in the season and in the Duke game he came with some blitzes and had success. If you see another horrid year on defense and his inability to coach up those young talented defensive players, my guess Sumlin replaces him in January.

[DesignatedT]

I'm still undecided on Snyder but he showed what he could do his first year when he has some talent. He called a masterful defensive game in '12 vs Bama. Not ready to call him a problem. He's had a lot of bad breaks roster wise but there definitely needs to be some dramatic improvements this season.

[tlongII]

This one and Boise State @ Ole Miss are the most interesting games tonight.

[rjv]

looking forward to the boise state/ole miss game as well. could be a really good game.

[DesignatedT]

Ole Miss going to blow out Boise

[djohn2oo8]

Ole Miss going to blow out Boise

SC gonna blow out aggy.

[DesignatedT]

SC gonna blow out aggy.

Ok? I swear Horns are throwing watch parties for the A&M game tonight :lol. More horns around the office talking about the game then Aggies. So obsessed. Times have changed.

[TheyCallMePro]

Ugh, I hate this forum. It's too colorful! But I'm a diehard college football fan, so I guess I'll be frequenting it now.

I like South Carolina in this game. A&M is breaking in a new QB, while SC has a senior at QB. And it's hard to beat SC at home. My prediction SC: 30, A&M: 17

[djohn2oo8]

Ok? I swear Horns are throwing watch parties for the A&M game tonight :lol. More horns around the office talking about the game then Aggies. So obsessed. Times have changed.

That game is the first game on tonight. First primetime game of the season to kick it off. No one gives a shit about it being the aggies, it just happens to be the first game. That's it. I swear that chick fil a bowl went to Aggy heads.

Sucks for Hill. Takes away a nice TD Pass from his stats.

That Oline is the truth. Might keep them in games offensively.

Jesus fuck. Can't give up that PI on 3rd and long.

[manufan10]

Defense got off the field, so that's a good sign.

[benefactor]

All the momentum with Aggie right now. Couple of costly penalties though. Aggie needs another TD here because SC will get rolling eventually.

[Fpoonsie]

Alright. New season, new QB, damn-near new team top-to-bottom.

Even I'M tired of hearing about Johnny now.

3 man rush and still give up the deep ball. That was bad

A&M can't give up a sustained TD drive right here

[rjv]

well, i'll take 10-7 after the first quarter. but we'll see how things hold up. last year, ags would wear down as the game went on.

[benefactor]

Holy shit SC's pass D blows

[Darth_Pelican]

Well, it looks like A&M has their QB for the next 3 years. I'm very impressed.

[rjv]

regardless of the outcome, i think it's safe to assume a&m has a ton of weapons on the offensive side of the ball, and so far hill has not shown any of the nervousness i was afraid he might fall victim to.

Hill showed in high school he's a smart kid.

Anxious to see his body of work for the season as it's easy to overreact in the first game, but he looks great.

[Darth_Pelican]

A&M's safeties SUCK. Aggies are dominating the game except for 2 deep meltdowns.

Yeah only two teams will play defense in this conference this season.

[FkLA]

A&M's offense just looks too athletic for South Carolina's defense. If Hill keeps it up they might put up 50 tbh.

[rjv]

man-this is turning into arena football. so much for my lower scoring prediction for the aggies. they look very polished!

bigger and stronger upfront, better athletes on the outside, hill looks composed

dominant offensive performance tbh

Spurrier doesn't have a clue at this point.

Congratulations to Georgia on winning the SEC East.

[tlongII]

A&M looking good. I hope Avante picks USC when we play them. :lol

Spurrier looked pretty defeated there. #9 team in the country at home?

Honestly thought Dylan Thompson was going to be a beast this year but the guy sucks ass. Really didn't see that. It was obvious that Mike Davis wasn't 100% either. Either way, A&M dominated this game. Our offense is just fuckin sick with too many weapons to account for. Hill looks like a seasoned vet with poise and great instincts. Just a great performance. Without the two mis-communications on defense this would have been even worse. A&M started a true freshman at Safety, who actually made some great plays (Watts) and started another freshman at Corner (Davis) in place of Junior Devante Harris who is out with a urinary tract injury. Harris is supposed to return in the next 4 weeks so that will help the secondary. The LB that got hurt will definitely hurt the defense going forward but there's no question the front 7 looked improved from last year.

Great game by the Ags. We in dis bitch.

Great game by A&M. No clue what SC was doing out there. The way they were lining up on defensive was ridiculous on some of those sets. They were 10 yards off the guys.

I think A&M is a contender. Their defensive only needs to be average to get it done. Obviously it is very early, but I like their chances better with Hill than Manziel.

I think SC is not a top 25 team. Their QB blows. Their defense can't tackle worth shit.

A&M is definitely better than anyone could have thought. Kenny Hill looked like a seasoned vet. The O-lines and D-lines looked solid. The secondary is still crap.

definitely looked like a top ten team tonight.

I wonder why they didn't run the ball more though, especially in the late third, forth quarters.

I'm gonna wait a few weeks though until after the Mississippi games before i call them a hulking machine.

Teams change throughout the season. The bowl games being so far removed from the top team's last game is a travesty to continuity. By the end of the season this game will be viewed in an entirely different light because each team will not be the same. ATM was super well prepared for this game. This is a well coached team. So for right now I will use the designation, awesome. Not progressing, Injuries, arrests, grades... .? for the future

ATM offense was so good SC was not allowed to stand pat; always behind. I think the fact that SC scored two touchdowns on long passes early because of no help or blown coverages led them to abandon what they do best. They thought they could still score quickly and easily, the problem being that you give the ball right back to a team in rhythm. I think this is overlooked in FB. A slow grinding drive that has the opponents offense sitting is very useful. It's not just tiring a defense out. The Spurs understand the shot clock and rhythm of the game, football... it's just not as obvious imo.

ATM continues to pull a Big 12 on the SEC.
That being said I hope Texas plays like a Woody Hayes team this year.

Sumlin was courted last year by NFL teams and will continue to be courted going forward. It means your program is doing something right.

I think he's still a ways away from even entertaining NFL offers though from listening to his interviews. Guy loves recruiting more than anything else.

Texas fans can dream though.

But turning down Dallas if it's a possibility?

That's not remotely close to interest from Philly and the Browns.

I'm not sure Dallas is all that appealing while Jerry's still alive and kicking. Maybe, but I think Sumlin stays at least a few more years.

Yes, I agree that Jerrah being in the way is a huge obstacle.

Just saying I don't think Sumlin gives them an immediate "no." You have to listen even if you're confident you don't want to be a part of that shit show.

[DesignatedT]

Well according to Blake, Sherman and Sumlin are a wash when it comes to head coaching. So maybe the Cowboys look at Sherman?

[Blake]

Jerry's an idiot that's hired nothing but crap coaches except for Parcells so anything's possible.

but Sumlin has lucked out with offensive coordinators and i think he knows it. If he's making $5 million a year, I doubt he leaves A&M any time soon.

:lol you really have no idea what you're talking about. You realize Kingsbury started his coaching career under Sumlin at Houston as a quality control coach right? You realize Spavital (the curreent OC) also coached under Sumlin at Houston as a quality control coach right? Guys like Kingsbury and Spavital are just a branch off the offense that Sumlin/Gundy/Holgerson have mastered. Sumlin has had amazing seasons as a o-coordinator himself. This is his offense.

[Bill_Brasky]

speaking of, Kingsbury has been everything i had hoped for and more. Absolutely changed the culture of our program.

[DesignatedT]

Kingsbury is Sumlin 2.0.

I think he will be very successful.

:lol Blake

On Sumlin moving to the NFL, he has said in the past that his number one motivation for coaching is molding boys into young men. I think it will be awhile before Sumlin attempts a jump into the NFL.

I don't necessarily think Sumlin's heading anywhere for a bit either, but you're kidding yourself if you think that's something other than generic, collegiate and below coach-speak.

Yup

He has said on multiple occasions, though, that he enjoys recruiting. Is it enough to keep him from the NFL? Probably not. But I do believe that he enjoys the college game.

I'm sure there's truth to that. I just think we should pump the brakes when proppin' his selfless, humanitarian efforts.

:tu always knew he was incredibly smart. Glad he could have a great teacher show him the ropes.

I think there might be some truth to what he's saying. I do understand what you're saying though. He's not going to be 100% truthful about the NFL/leaving because that could hurt recruiting among other things.

Lol no. It's Dana Hologerson's base offense which is a base of Leach's Air Raid.

It was Dana that called Kliff to come to Houston, not Sumlin.

[Sisk]

It just kills you that Sumlin is dominating with this offense, doesn't it? We are on our 3rd OC with Sumlin. Offense is better than ever, seemingly. What has stayed the same over those 3 years?

[leemajors]

Well, I would hazard a guess he is getting better players.

:lol who was the head coach?

[pgardn]

People can bad mouth SC all they want.
Fact is the Aggies just played their first game and the team looks like a hulking machine.
Good football is just good football, the team name is secondary.
It was fun to watch that offensive display.

Talented teams with big time coaches are tough after a loss like the Aggies just handed SC.
As a UT alum, if you asked me if I wanted UT to play a team like SC next week, I would say no and then hell no.
And I would say this to myself at least twice...

- Coach T


So this is how awful I see SC as a team at the moment.

[Blake]

:lol who was the head coach?

:lol moving goalposts

it's Dana's offense.

[Sisk]

:lol moving goalposts

it's Dana's offense.

Who was the HC?

Who cares?

rofl i'd rather play for kingsbury than strong

blue font etc etc

[Blake]

Ok

[Blake]

I'd rather play for Kliff than Strong

Oh look. No blue font.

[The Reckoning]

lol only 4.5% of positions want to play for kingsbury over strong

[Silver&Black]

I'm still :wow at that final score....

[Blake]

lol only 4.5% of positions want to play for kingsbury over strong

13.6% if you include Breiden and VJ Fehoko


..............
V.J. took notice. He won’t discuss why he left Utah, but he hadn’t forgotten about Tech. He’d given a silent commitment to Leach during his recruitment in 2009 but had to change plans upon the coach’s firing.*“Coming back was kind of destiny, in a way,” V.J. Fehoko said. “It’s sort of full circle.”*When he joined Sam in Lubbock this January, V.J. asked his brother for a crash course on Big 12 defense. The Pac-12 prepared him for high-speed offenses, but he’s still learned plenty in the past eight months. Like Sam, he quickly took a liking to the Red Raiders’ new leader.*“My goodness, man, Kliff Kingsbury, you can quote me on this: Best head coach in college football,” V.J. said. “He’s sort of like an older brother to you.”*
