Said that our tackling wasn't good. Hopefully, they get that corrected soon.

SMU's first president, Robert S. Hyer, selected Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue as SMU's colors to symbolize SMU's high academic standards. We are one of the few Universities to have school colors with real meaning...and we just blow them off.

One thing I have noticed is there have been no threads of posters debating our tackling prowess.

Is that what he calls it "tackling"? I could have sworn I saw our guys reaching for the flag.

TCU is good but they are no aTm or BU (NTSU would probably give them a good run also).

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.

Bill Nichols ‏@BillNicholsDMN 16m

SMU's @TomMason20 counted 31 missed tackles vs Texas A&M: "That's unacceptable. If we would have tackled, we’d have been fine"

Fine is a relative term. Many of the missed tackles were 20 yards or more past the 1st down marker.

And blocked. And hit open receivers. And hit a longer field goal.

When you have to make 200 tackles cause your offense has only 2 yards of offense, tackles #151-200 become a little more difficult.

Some of the missed tackles were early in the game. Also A&M only ran 68 plays not 200.

It's a tough topic to tackle, so it's avoided.

If you miss enough tackles on each play then you can have 200 tackle opportunities on just 68 plays.
