This ain't gospel, it's a guess, but this gives me a glimmer of hope regarding the refs:

"What we do know about typical protocols: for major postseason games (like play-offs or bowl games), officiating crews come from conferences that are not affiliated with either participating team.
  • That means the officials in this game likely will not be from the same conferences as Miami Hurricanes or Texas A&M Aggies."
If this is true (I don't know yet), this is phenomenal news! Any other conferences refs will not be pulling for the non-Miami team. If anything, they should be fetutzed that the SEC has 5 teams in.

Literally, if the refs call 1/4 of the legit holding calls against Mesi/Bain, we will almost certainly beat TAMU. To be continued...

Fetutzed? You win!
 
The issue we have with TAMU is that they match all our strengths, Bain/Mesidor matched by Howell, Toney matched by Concepcion etc. The issue is they have Reed who is more dynamic than Beck and Craver who is better than any WR we have apart from Toney. We maybe have slight advantages at RB and K but with the home field advantage for them this game looks to track very similar to the Clemson UT playoff game last year. I don't think we get totally blown out, but it seems unlikely we can generate real game pressure in the 2nd half.

i watched the A&M/ND game last night. Reed is a terrible passer. Yes, he makes some good throws, but with some pressure on him and the WRs he's as accurate as Rosier was v Pitt in 2017 (vomit)

He got much more accurate. Still a spaz at time, streaky. But A&M OC has mitigated his weaknesses for the most part. Do not count on him being bad is all I'm saying.

The keys to making him have a bad performance will be disguised coverages, disguised blitzes and sound tactical use of press. If we can disrupt his field vision or timing with his route runners, and force him into his second read or into a scramble, he's toast. He is not good when off platform.

We have a much better defense than they do
 
I wonder if Collin Klein accepting the LSU HC job changes their aggression on offense. I really wouldn't be surprised if he calls the game a rock more aggressively than he typically would have.

Think about it he already got his HC job. He's playing with house money. In a critical moment that Mario and Elko would likely want to be conservative or even he may have been more conservative, I could see him basic just saying **** it we're going for it all...

I think our defensive game plan should maybe be a little more conservative and let Reed beat himself. You force him to be a dink and dunker and it won't pan out well.

Most critical thing defensively imo is wrapping up Craver+Concepcion+Reed. We have been an incredibly bad tackling team. Especially on potential sacks.
