texas a&m v. arkansas

[rjv]

tougher game than i would have thought at the start of the season. the rice game and even parts of the SMU game revealed weaknesses on the aggies defensive side of the ball when it comes to the rushing attack and the hogs are most definitely going to attack a&m's inexperienced front line. if arkansas can establish the running game and control time of possession that would be one way to keep the aggies from rolling up points. on the flip side, a&m has shown they do not need much time at all to put points on the board and arkansas defense had a hard time stopping both auburn's and texas tech's offense (raiders hurt themselves). in the end, i expect the aggies to pull off the win but in a closer game than some may expect.

aggies 45

feral pigs 31

[DesignatedT]

Hard to take anything away from the Rice and/or SMU game considering the amount of starters we had practically resting and the amount of time the 2nd and 3rd string were playing in those games. South Carolina couldn't run on us when they attempted to.

Hogs will get their yardage on the ground because that's what they do but I don't see then grounding and pounding for 300+ yards while dictating the tempo. As long as A&M plays efficiently and smart they should win this game. If we start turning the ball over and such then the Hogs will have a chance.

We will have to match their physicality right out of the gates though and that is kind of worrisome considering its been a month since we played a physical football game.

[DesignatedT]

in the end, i expect the aggies to pull off the win but in a closer game than some may expect.

I think people are expecting a pretty close game. Line is around A&M -8' right now.

[DesignatedT]

I hope Speedy Noil can play as well. Been pretty mum on him at this point. Expect Cam Clear to have a big game as he's fully healed from his ankle injury he suffered vs SCAR

no word on noil and my guess would be we don't see him until next week. it will be great to see clear out there saturday though. and also we will be getting mastrogiovanni back though. i know this is a little extreme but i see shades of dat nguyen in that dude.

[DesignatedT]

Mastro is key vs the run game. Shaan Washington back is also a huge get although it might take him a couple games to get in a groove and get his conditioning back. He's returning from a broken collarbone. Really helps with losing Hilliard who broke his ankle in week 1. Our LB position has had the worst luck.

[Bill_Brasky]

if you guys can stop the run youre good.

Out for the year. Good thing is he's only a soph so he will still have two years eligibility.

[DesignatedT]

Yeah I'm not gonna lie. I'm pulling for the pigs.

That's a shame. I'm pulling for tech tonight.

me too. i like kliff and am hoping stockton has a nice career there.

also sounds like he will qualify for a medical redshirt so that will be good for him and the team.

Speedy Noil is active. Huge for us.

Really excited to see Mastrogiovanni and Washington out there today at LB.

[manufan10]

Did anyone else get a push notification from ESPN that Johnny is going to be in attendance? I mean, I like Johnny and all, but do we really need to know if he's going to be at the game or not? ESPN needs to calm down with this stuff.

It's retarded to go defense first in college football when the ball is placed at the 25 yard line. It makes sense in the NFL because they have to drive the entire field.

[FkLA]

Wow. You realize both teams get a possession in OT even if the offense scores first, right? Every single team/coach chooses defense first dumbfuck.

Again. You choose defense first because why? You were giving up touchdowns that resulted in just 2 plays. Yeah you get an extra possession. What did Arkansas do wth it?

[djohn2oo8]

Just...wow.

Smh amazing how many don't get it.

ATM winning games they would have choked away in the past.

Sumlins got it going.

Arkansas gone Arkansas. Lol Jerry Jones. If there's one thing Aggy and Longhorn can agree on, it's fuck Arkansas. Goddamn hillbillies.

Dude. Yall played KANSAS. Then Kansas thought losing to horn was so despicable, they fired their coach. :lmao

[Bill_Brasky]

Again. You choose defense first because why? You were giving up touchdowns that resulted in just 2 plays. Yeah you get an extra possession. What did Arkansas do wth it?

You choose defense first so you can stop them and then win with a TD. Youre guaranteed to get the ball back no matter what. In the NFL they do sudden death so only a fucking retard would choose defense first.

FIFY. But yeah, don't waste your time trying to educate djohn. He's a bit slow.

haha well by "stop" i meant make em kick the FG and respond with a TD but you know what i mean. And yeah not djohns best moment.

We will take anything we can get.
Our offense still looks like a HS team.
This was a win, without the TOs this could have been a tight game.

Are you still confused as to Texas actually being a good team? That paranoid?

The Big Orange Sun shall return and out recruit you again. But not yet. Enjoy the cloud cover.

[Pelicans78]

I think Texas will be an improved team throughout the season. Their defense is legit. Offense is what's keeping them down.

[pgardn]

Their offense is absolutely outmatched.
The D is fine except for the safeties imo.
But in the Big 12 the D will wear down.

Baylor has the chance to make Texas look like a DII team.

I think Texas will give them a scare. Baylor is irrelevant this season. They're gonna get destroyed in Norman and struggle against TCU.

The game of the year in the Big 12 is next week with OU going to TCU. That's OU's toughest game of the season.

Baylors D was really bad against Iowa St.

The above could very well be accurate. I just know Gary Pattersons offense absolutely stinks so they have had no chance in the Big 12. Maybe they got a new O-coordinator... If TCU is not better on offense they will again be middle of the pack.

I give Texas no chance against Baylor unless they Bears have 5 or more TOs.

Texas might make a ball game of it. Might. They're definitely playing to the level of their competition right now. I had to pour borax in my eyes to erase the images of last nights game.

You know people see the score and think we played well.

I realize our offensive line is outmatched almost every game, but honestly some of Swoopes passes are just horrible.
The poor kid has no touch on the ball. As long as he does not throw INTs I guess it will have to do. Our RBs have absolutely no room to run, they are taking a beating. This is really hard to stomach.

I'm a Swoopes apologist. Dude has played light years ahead of where I thought he'd be. He's slow as shit though. If they run one more goddamn option play where he takes it to the outside, or sweep where he lumbers towards the sideline, or zone read where he doesn't keep the ball, I'll punch a kitten. I know it's only the fifth game with a patch-work o-line and a back-up quarterback, but Shawn Watson is the demon spawn of Greg Davis and a zombie whore.

You stupid, ignorant dumbfuck. Go back through the archives of all the OT games in college and tell me what percentage of teams choose defense first. Guess all those coaches aren't on your 'intellectual' level either.

This is really low even for you, dumbjohn.

[FkLA]

And this nigga claims to have gone to UT. You flunked out of UTSA didn't you? :lol

Actually it would be interesting to go back in the last 10 years and look at what positions players were recruited for. Say the top 20 ratings each year, O or D.? I know there seem to be quite a few DE that have been rated first. The pros would be easier. I think you just need more people for D just because they chase.

But from a position point of view, this is actually interesting.

[Obstructed_View]

Smh amazing how many don't get it.

Pretty much everyone gets it but you, tbh.

Baylors D was really bad against Iowa St.
People are entitled to their opinion about whether or not Baylor will be relevant, and I'm always waiting for the shoe to drop and for them to become sucky again, but I'm unsure how someone can have watched the game and make the above statement. Baylor gave up one good drive in the first half, and everything else was three-and-outs and maybe one or two first downs and a takeaway. The game was over at halftime and they had reserves in by the fourth quarter.

Now if you want to point to a reason the Bears have to be concerned down the road, look at their kicking game. Their kicker has the biggest case of the yips I've ever seen, and I've rooted for Florida State for almost 30 years. :lol

[Obstructed_View]

I haven't watched any of their games, but I know UT always has talent. I'm sure their recruiting classes are always better than Baylor's. There's no reason they can't suddenly rise to their talent level and play with anyone, tbh.

[The Reckoning]

it sucks when your team is used as a measuring tape as to whether or not can a coach...

I love love giving a nuggy to little brother Aggy. We really should play them again, but not till we are respectable again.


hell, dude. right now, texas has sunk so low, KANSAS fired their coach for not being able to beat them. why would anyone want texas on their schedule right now?

Well I'm the fan that thinks Baylor crushes us.
Imo our only hope is your D which I think can be taken advantage of because of the small corners. Before the ISU game they looked really good to me. Now I think we might be able to make some first downs via our WR. I don't think the Baylor corners were as good as what I had seen.

That being said this could be really bad on recruiting if Baylor crushes us. Which I think is very possible. Maybe it's just me looking for a weakness that we can't exploit. I thought they were sloppy. But when a team is that far ahead it may be lack of concentration.

[DMX7]

hell, dude. right now, texas has sunk so low, KANSAS fired their coach for not being able to beat them. why would anyone want texas on their schedule right now?

Because Texas is Texas and things will get turned around eventually. Michigan just scheduled UT.
