I've got Markel Bell v. Cassius Howell. Size and length versus twitch and second effort.

This matchup is big in the pass game and run game. Texas A&M is the top sack percentage team in America but has had struggles against the run (see Texas game).

They are going to isolate our LBs in space with KC and their RBs.

LBs also have to worry about Reed getting loose.

I know our DL will hold their own, but we’re going to need to get pressure on Reed asap. I worry about our secondary holding up when Reed extends plays with his feet.

I don’t think this is crucial to our success as long as those play aren’t going for TDs. They can have a few of them and we’d still be Gucci if we keep them in front of us

They will swing it to their RB and they will run rail/wheel routes to them also.. They hit a couple plays for that thru year..

Containing their QB. Seen us get smoked too many times by a QB who can move, and this guy moves really well. Gotta contain and tackle well or it's gonna be a horrible flashback to last year.

"Us" as in the Miami Hurricanes the last 20 years?

Because this year's team has done well against running qbs. The most prolific runner we faced was Tommy Castellanos and he had like 57 yards on 16 carries.
 
I think limiting KC concepcion vs Hetherman plan (Idk if he locks a corner on him or who).. Couple times we played impact #1 WR we got cooked and caught Ls (UL Bell, heard he tore acl before end of season crazy and SMU Hudson).. KC is Malachi Toney for Tamu, we have to limit him.. I think Texas did a good job and that really hurt their offense..

And not just at WR either, he had MAJOR impact at PR and turned a few games at that position this year.. Im talking broke games open, #3 in entire nation avg 20 yards a return and house 2.. while setting up deep redzone on a couple others.. GAMEBREAKER at return, if we cant cover just dont even kick it to him honestly.. Take his equation completely out the game..

i expect lots of quick passes (aka Louisville), expect passes to their RB via wheel routes and QB designed draws similar to what ND VT and FSU QBs did

bit worried about OJ getting beat with their speed

Pretty sure he's referencing the VT game, where they basically ran through our defense with a mobile QB drawing the majority of our attention.
