aTm will be tough, but it's winnable. After this one, we have 3 games we absolutely should win and 1 we won't. Moorhead, find a way to beat the Aggies, and you'll finish 8-4. If we finish 8-4, I'll still be disappointed, but feel much better about our program's outlook.
8-4 with a chance at 9 wins in a bowl game would be the 2nd best record in the last decade. Dan got 8 wins several times but only got more in the regular season in 2014. We get to 9 wins with a bowl win and that is pretty good in a transition year of changing the offense.Quote:

I need to see a QB actually run the offense before I feel better about it. Hopefully KT is running and gunning next year but until I see it then I am worried.Quote:

Gotta feeling fitz has a big game tomorrow.
Man I hope you’re right. I just don’t see it.Quote:

And the D is top notch
If fitz is 17ing up the 1st 2 quarters, do we make a change? Does JOMO have the guts and brains of saban? I hope KT got as many reps as fitz this week in practice.
If defense plays like last week, we good at home.
JoMo has already stated and discussed with Fitz that KT WILL get at least a couple series in the first half. Fitz said he is good with it. Now, if KT moves the team right down the field and scores, he will get more and more opps! So, this will be like a position interview between KT and JoMo.Quote:

At the most, only two of those names will be on roster next season...with a depleted D as well.Quote:

I do too. The guy isn't a great qb but he is resilient.Quote:

To win we would need to move the ball. I don?t see how we can against the best run defense we have faced so far and our inability to complete a forward pass.
I think we hit some passes tonight.Quote:

If we actually start completing passes then our offense probably gets back to last year level.Quote:

Their pass defense sucks ass. I could see them completely selling out on the run and leaving receivers wide open. Plus their best secondary player (a saftey) will be sitting out the first half due to a targeting penalty. If Fitz can get the ball in the zip code of our receivers there will be plays to be had in the passing game.Quote:

I told ya I was basing it on homerism hahaQuote:

Conversally, the two best secondaries in the SEC were Florida and LSU and we tried to throw on them. A&M completely shut down Kentucky when they tried to run the ball on A&M and was one dimensional running it. A&M is one of the better defenses in the SEC against the run and it wouldn’t surprise me if they completely sold out on stopping the run.Quote:
