Is it just me or is Texas A&M fools gold?

They had an incredibly weak schedule.

Played ND and Texas. Went 1-1.

Everyone else on their schedule sucked. LSU quit on BK. Mizzou was starting a backup QB.

This quote is from a Texas fan:

“Texas was the only team with a pulse aggy played since September and they got their asses kicked and their players physically gave up at the end. I don’t think Miami realize how big a gift they were given to play A&M. If your defensive line can put any pressure at all on Reed he turns into a weak kneed spaz.”

THEY CAN AND DO SAY THE SAME ABOUT US!

in reality they are very talented but if we play as well as we did against the Irish and Pitt then we will win.

their schedule makes them appear better

and it was NOT the Missouri backup QB. it was their THIRD STRING QB.

I will have to do a deeper dive on A&M, but in the limited amount I have seen so far what concerns me most are Reed’s ability to move, and their DL. In the few times I have seen them play their DL was creating absolute havoc. Our OL is a strength of course, so this will be a big time matchup and it should be fun to watch. I think they’ll be up to the challenge but it won’t be easy

it is feast or famine for the Aggie defense

they are one of the worst in the country at giving up big plays

but one of the best in the country on third down stops

they can be gashed in the running game and the passing game-

and against Texas their DL did nothing

Getting Keionte and Blay back would be massive. Our Dline vs thier Oline is the matchup to watch. Getting consistent pressure on Reed and limiting their rushing will decide the game imo

this is incorrect

the REAL battle will be their WRs against our secondary

Keionte is the most important piece to us winning.
 
I think they are a very good, well-coached football team, and probably the best or second best roster we will face overall. To win this game, defensively we need to be sound against a QB who can extend plays and get the ball downfield to major weapons. On offense, empty the clip and be relentless stretching and testing their defense. Threaten the run from multiple sets and come back to PA off of them.
 
My concern is Elko vs Dawson. Im not a fan of coach Dawson. Give Mike Elko and staff a couple weeks to scheme against Dawson and I expect us to have trouble scoring.

That said, this is a very winnable game for the Canes.

Texas A&M hasn't played a single home game against a team with a winning record.

UTSA (6-6)
Utah State (6-6)
Auburn (5-7)
Mississippi State (5-7)
Florida (4-8)
South Carolina (4-8)
Samford (1-11, FCS)

Been posting it since yesterday but I'll keep saying it. Look at the QBs they faced this year. Straight ***.

Miami hasn't seen a team with better wrs in years. Craver and Encarnacion are 3 level wrs that can win their one on one's consistently and be explosive taking the top off secondaries catching it deep or rac and be dangerous. Add Reed at qb who has more mobility and arm talent than Jennings who has killed us twice. Best team we have seen by far all year. We have trenches with average skill A$M has trenches with really good skill.
 
I’ve watched a lot of A&M this year. Top of mind things about their team.
1. Their pass rush can get after it, Bell better be ready for the speed rush or chip with our TE.
2. Reed scrambling. Need a spy or need our ends to FINISH the play and get him down. Need lightfoot or K scott to be there
3. Reed is a streaky player, times you watch him he’s high level other times he’s G5.
4. Their receivers are really fast. Need to tackle in space
5. Elko is **** of a coach and it’s going to be a tough team to play

Canes by 3.
