A&M/Utah

[LA_Mustang]

Not sure how many of you watched the game but if you did you saw probably the best unknown coach in the country, Urban Meyer. He outcoached the "great" Fran and damn near stole that game. After being down 21-0 at the half, he made a far less talented team believe they could still win at College Station. That coach is destine for the big-time. BTW, Utah's impressive RB is a Texas native from Kilgore JC.

I guess it is easy to look "out-coached" in the second half when your offense has only 8 snaps in the 3rd quarter due to turnovers on special teams and offense.

It was the other way around when it was 21-0 in the first half and Utah turned it over 3 times.

Urban Meyer is a helluva coach, and so is Fran...niether one of those guys carried the ball on Saturday to turn it over.

Fran is about to be 2-3 at ATM. Can't wait to see that 3rd loss in person as I make the trek back to Lubbock in a few weeks.

Hey WreckEm,
Just want you to know, I'm a Tech fan any week except SMU week. My first born is a Red Raider (boo!hoo!) but if she wouldn't be a Mustang, I'd much rather a Red Raider than one of those "other" schools !!!!! I've got 2 more chances though, to get a Mustang, keep hope alive.

[WTA]

You know what, he may be 2-3. We may go 6-6 again this year...maybe even worse. Get your licks in now, while you can.

You know it, even though you don't want to admit it...Fran is going to take A&M to the level that R.C. couldn't.

That includes beating Tech as consistantly as they have beat us the last 10 years. I am ready for A&M to start giving more credit to what the Red Raiders have done, and will continue to do if we let them.

I think this should be more than a regional rivalry...I beleive that it is a rivalry now.

BTW, I am predicting an Aggie win on the South Plains. We may lose to VT and Pitt, but I have a gut feeling about Lubbock...nothing more/nothing less.

WTA, I agree that the players are the ones that committed the turnovers but the true sign that Meyer can coach is that despite being down 21-0 on the road at the half and with his team completely over matched, Utah continued to fight and never gave up. 95% of teams would have rolled over and lost by 3 or 4 touchdowns. IMO, that is the sign of a very well coached team. He did the same thing at Bowling Green. How many coaches could have gotten Bowling Green in the top 25?

[WTA]

LA...I COMPLETLEY agree! Meyer did a great job a Bowling Green, I'm sure he will do the same at Utah. I was very impressed with the Utes.

Utah is playing Cal right now on ESPN. Not only can you watch Urban Meyer's Utes, but Cal's soph. QB Aaron Rodgers is a great young talent.

Way to go UTES, 31-24 winner over Cal. Chalk up another win for a non-BCS team. Too bad its a MWC team.
