You two are more knoweledgeble than most on this board - and you have been silent on this game. Thoughts ?

We are driving down the interstate. We have thoughts but too many trucks to reflect on the game. It will be later tonight

Brief stop so quick thoughts. The D didn't lose this one. The O did. D has made big improvement since BU Unlike others I think the O line is a big part of the offensive woes. And the punting game is killing us. We can't flip the field and give our opponents good field position too often

And GG?

I have had my post game Whataburger so I am now content and I do not want to fight like everyone else is. But I am mad at Calallen for stealing my Silver Linings post, and I agree somewhat with Stallion on the students. I do not necessarily mind them leaving a little early in a blowout, but get there before the first quarter is over and come back for the start of the 3rd quarter. That is not too much to ask.

As far as the team, I am hoping for something like Tulsa did last year, getting blown out in non conference and then performing well in conference. But something needs to be done to spark the offense. I am not counting on any more shutouts thus year.

defense played great for 15 minutes but there was never any doubt they were going to wear down after so many 3 and outs.

I got really concerned when 3 of our inside LBs went down in the span of about 5 minutes

Aggies were always the most physical game of the year and it doesn't appear anything has changed

GG has the best head on a QB in a long time. The missed passes are timing issues. He hasn't had time to get in sync with his receivers. The O line is my biggest concern. Our tackles appear indecisive or timid run block. They never get to the backers in many cases. Our receivers are not getting off the LOS clean & that probably screws up what little timing GG has with them. And we don't throw ovr the middle even though A$M was giving us intermediate routes over he middle.

The D did very well. Our LBs did an outstanding job in man coverage against mismatches. Our corners were tested and did much better than expected. Our biggest fault is lack of solid tackling

Exclude the scramble yards and A$M had no rushing game against us. Much better than last year. .

yeah unfortunately the tackling was outstanding for the first 20 minutes but it kind of fell apart. Our WRs ALWAYS have trouble getting off the line against Big 12 teams. That's why they recruit bigger WRs and bigger DBs

Tulsa won 62-to something against somebody. nobody cares

Oh, in the spirit of the really important things, I could care less about our band playing over the nut grabbers band. It's our house, screw 'em!

The students can come and go as they please. After all it's just Daddy's money

I agree with all of this, or at least the parts I understand. I think when the O-line gets it together we will be fine. I thought the D played some great stuff today, Manziel was a magician.
