So we spent the first half of the week talking crap and how sucky refs can be. So how about we talk about what we think is really going to happen.
What is your comfort level of this game? I feel we have not played well the last 2 games..real games and not New Mexico St. I’m hoping the energy of the crowd and playing Texas will wake us up.
I think several things have to happen for us to win.
1. I’m nervous about the speed of the Texas offense in regards to the receivers. A&M WILL allow receivers to run open at times and the deep ball will be there for Texas a time or 2. Texas runs a ton of motion and misdirection so eye discipline is huge in this game..just do your jobs.
2. If we don’t pressure Quinn he can absolutely pick you apart and is extremely accurate with time. I worry about the quick passes and slants to bait you in and then bang..the deep ball.
3. Texas comes out fast and we have been starting slow. This CAN’T happen like it has against Texas.
4. I think the Texas defense is good. I don’t think we can go right at them. Not having Moss is a big deal as Daniels is just not a power back that can wear on a defense. We are going to have to be able to throw the ball some to have a shot. Also, we have been predictable on offense and Klein has to mix it up a bit more.
What I like if it goes well:
1. Quinn has shown to crap his pants with pressure against Georgia, Vandy and Arkansas. Our defense can dial up a lot of pressure and if we can keep Texas behind the chains then we have a chance to dial it up but we can’t just put pressure on 3rd and long. It has to be random at times as well. We need to hit Quinn.. a lot
2. If we can withstand the early rush by the offense(I do think Texas scripts well early) the offense seems to have periods where it sputters.
3. If we keep it close early and make it a 4th quarter game I like our chances with the crowd. This game should be rocking.
Overall I think Texas is the better team. If both teams play an A+ game I think you win. If you play an A and we play an A+ game I think we can win. We need a few breaks to go our way. We need a special teams play, win the turnover battle, get a couple of short fields or have a couple of explosive plays which you don’t give up often.
I’ll be headed to the game Saturday morning to take it all in with 2 of my sons, so I’m excited about that. I hope it’s an epic game with the Ags coming out in top! Anyone here making the trip?
