Observations of App St vs AtM:
- Turnovers sealed A&M's L
- A&M QB very mobile
- App St OL won game for O
-- Pounded the rock, controlled the clock
- App St immediate tackling won game on D
- App St wins 24-7 if not for A&M kickoff return and App St RB TD run OOB by 1/2 foot width




Expected game plan Miami vs AtM not hard to figure out...

"...we need to run harder...when the Canes run hard, we're hard to stop and it opens up everything for us..."
- Head Coach Super Mario Manuel Cristobigballs, Miami Hurricanes, 10 Sep 22

There is no mystery as, at least to start the game, how our Canes plan to come after AtM's D. Get the run game going downhill.

With that said, Miami's D must repeat the "immediate tackling" success of App St because Aggies aren't going to turn ball over like they did yesterday.

Crazy how different the support around the program is for a coach with a worse record... Wonder what's causing that :unsure:

It’s probably bc one of them is one of only 5 active coaches who has won a nc, had multiple top 10 finished, mulptiple playoff appearances, recruits ata level never seen at that school vs a guy who was just a sucessful g5 coach
Jimbo has his flaws but just on resume and merit alone, of course one gets more benefit of the doubt than the other

I'm sure the A&M admin is beginning to question their decision to give Jimbo a 4 year extension before the beginning of last season. Sumlin started off with a bang and had a top 5 finish and Fisher had one great season in the shortened Covid year with a top 5 finish. They foolishly gave him that extension , based on one season. If he has another 8-4 or worse year, the heat on his seat will increase. By the end of his 6th year, he could very well be fired, just like Kevin Sumlin before him.

Don't forget the other coach is terrible and I think is out of coaching or he should be.

What's causing it is the perception of Jimbo as a championship coach. As overrated as we all know he is, his name still carries a gravitas that Sumlin never had.

If your intention was to go for the race card I disagree. That's just an intellectual default and flat out lazy thinking.
