They won the game for us or at least deserve a ton of credit. All the A&M sites are remarking that we gave TVD a lot of time to pick them apart. They did have one sack and even though our DL did not have a sack they gave Conner fits. A&M is loaded with talent yet we negated their schemes. I can't say enough though about our OL improvement. We have a diamond in TVD and the OL protected that asset.

Me and my brother (Notre Dame fan) were talking about this today. We both played OL in HS and I pointed out the best thing about a former OL as your HC is that you know he's going to prioritize the line. And when you have an OL that moves people off the line it opens up the whole offense. You can run, pass, bubble screen, tunnel screen, anything you want to do. And we have had athletes the last few years but without any time for them to run routes or w/ DL knifing through on screens it just blows up everything.

Little brother said he watched the game and it's the best OL he has seen in CFB this year. I pointed out how Matt Lee is the glue and as a former C I can't begin to explain how good Lee is. And the best part about him is that he's mature, smart and a leader of the OL, he holds his linemates accountable for penalties and he's the glue of that whole thing.

And I'll hate to see him go after this year but I'm pumped about Francavilla coming in next year to take his place. We might regress a little on the OL next year because Lee is so mature and such a leader w/ all his experience. But man it's going to be fun to watch this OL all season long. Really happy with the turnaround so fast from last year's dumpster fire to this year's unit. Mario deserves his props.
 
Loved the pass pro but any theory why we didn’t move the ball better on the ground? Was A&M packing the box?

Me and my football buddies were talking about this at the game...the noticeable difference in the OL play.
Best unit on the team IMO. Nite and day from what we've seen here for years.

I thought we ran the ball well when we needed to.

Dawson decided that the pass was there all game so he let TVD rip.

Don't think a freshman comes in and plays center given how difficult it is and the talent already on campus. May be another portal addition until a young guy is ready to take over.


TVD Could updated his iphone in some of the pockets he had saturday.

Thoughts on Guidry/D so far?

Mirabal is a monster coach. Our OL looks like ELITE SEC type and it's nowhere the finished product considering our most talented OL are puppies. With that being said, this is a real STAFF. Love to see Dawson working with Mirabal. Here he takes Mirabal's suggestion to run a play that Oregon ran in 2018. This turned into a TD for Miami with George. Below is Guidry talking about Mirabal's impact and the TD he mentions:

I think you mean Dawson. But yeah, point taken.
