Currently rewatching all of our offensive snaps against them. Texas A&M was hellbent on stopping the run, they absolutely sold out and we all saw how talented that group was against Auburn. They have players everywhere on that Front 7 that can ruin your entire game if you´re not careful.
Whenever we went dropback pass, they had no shot. No collapsing edges, no one on the interior being pushed back. And the further the game went on, it became more and more obvious how this group with a Freshman at RT, a Sophomore at RG and a LT who has missed loads of time due to injury flat out dominated a talented group of rushers. Plus, our screen game with the WR is so good because players get out, move their big wheels and look for players to pancake. It is such a wonderful, wonderful sight to see a group dominate the way they are doing.
And its not just our group of starters. Rodriguez came in for Lee against Temple and just continued where Lee left. McCoy as an extra blocker is a physical force, who can move and just **** people up. McCormick on the split zone is a cheat code. This whole group, regardless of age, is so committed towards their craft and their work... it is an advertisment for every HS offensive lineman to come here. What Mario and Mirabal have done with Rivers and Cooper, how good Mauigoa looks as a Freshman and how well some of the backup are playing, it can not be said enough what a gamechanger their work has been.
Agree. Even with ATM trying to stop the run, there were still many run plays where the first contact the RB recieved was 3+ yards past the LOS. Would be good to go back and chart that. Against other inferior teams, often the RB doesn’t get touched before 5 yards last tbe LOS!
