Huge game next weekend, here is why:
- With Arkansas & OM going down the crapper, A win at A&M paves the way for a 9 win season & basically a 3rd place finish in the SEC, since Auburn will likely lose 4 games since they still have UGA & Bama left on their schedule. If you consider that there is a decent chance that both Alabama & Georgia get in the playoff, then that leaves the Peach Bowl, Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl, &, at worst, the Citrus Bowl as our bowl destination. Cheer for Penn State to beat Ohio State next weekend. The SEC needs the media lover boy Ohio State eliminated from the playoff with 2 losses
- A win next Saturday plus a warm up game vs UMass will give us a 4 game winning streak & tons of momentum going into the Bama game. Now, we aren't going to beat Bama. Not gonna happen, but maybe we can give them a quality game like A&M did & build some confidence vs them going into 2018.
- If 2018 is going to be the dream season that we all believe it may have a chance of being, this team needs to learn to beat quality teams on the road. In 2018, we will play extremely tough football games on the road at K-State, LSU, Bama, & the Egg Bowl, which no matter how trash OM is at that point, can't be overlooked. With Arkansas mailing it in this year, the A&M game is really our last opportunity to have an impressive road win in 2017. It's pertinent that this team grows up on the road this week. It's absolutely no secret that this team has played terrible on the road in big games this year, but Saturday night provides an opportunity to hang their hats on something, learn from their prior mistakes, build composure & a winning attitude on the road. Building that confidence could go a long way towards paving the way to a special 2018.
We have to come ready to play Saturday night in College Station. This is a monster game towards setting the table towards a huge bowl game & special 2018.
Play with composure, tackle well, & execute. This game is very winnable, but we'll have to play well.
