So, I say we lose this one 44-10. So, not too bad. I say we get our second TD of the year!


UNT was bad! They would not give TCU much trouble. 44 - 10? Like Baylor and aTm, score depends on when they call off the dogs.


I never fear the frog. They are our super bowl so we will keep it close. 44-10 (I said aTm was going to go 66-0, so I'm pretty good at coming close to predicting these things).

Watching the A&M game I considered reinstating my "miss a tackle, take a shot" rule, but not sure my liver will make it through the season at this pace

So, if the LB hits the RB at the line of scrimmage, and holds on, but gets dragged for 6-8 yards downfield, does that count as a missed or made tackle?

our 2 leading tacklers were DBs and DBs had to make about 30 tackles-not a good sign especially since the only thing that stopped the Aggys on several more occasions was the endzone

In fact on the season our DBs rank 1st, 2nd and 4th on the team in tackles-a horrendous stat-and its not because our DBs are good either.

Admittedly it's not easy in the open field, but the usually decent tackling Greenbauer & Richardson (the other safety) were both horrible, along with most of the LB's.

Good news, Mason has them working on it all week.

All sounds too subjective to me. Can someone review the game films and provide some tackling analysis? Some trending would be nice also.

# Tackling Opportunities
Initial Tackling Opportunity Average Distance (relative to LOS)
# ITO > 5 yards
# ITO > 10 Yards
Average Number of TO per Play
# TO > 5
# Solo Tackles
# Multiple Player Tackles
Tackle Average Distance (relative to LOS)
# Tackles > 5 yards
# Tackles > 10 Yards

Our leading tackler was the end zone.
