Texas A&M Aggies football

And, you know, I think there's a pretty clear path to LSU even if they lose this game to get back into the playoff or to get to the playoff.

They host Texas A&M next week.

They'll be a small favor.

Texas A&M's top team in the country.

They host Alabama in November and they host Texas.

So you get your next three games...

Hold that thought on them because they had a brutally bad loss to Oklahoma State last week.

Texas, LSU, Texas A&M, Miami, Notre Dame, That's the big cluster that's out ahead going down into the $40 million range and change Tennessee, Alabama, Ole Miss, Texas Tech, Indiana, Michigan, Florida, SC.

And it filters all the way down.

At the bottom is Boston College.

So the quiet man from Columbus, Texas, Doug Rowe.

by the Texas A&M.

Heaves a sigh, looks into Ferguson.

Now Doug Reddy in the 2-2 pitch.

So these are the types of things.

I mean, honestly, Arizona State outplayed Texas A&M in the first half.

A bad coaching call by Kenny Dillingham, I thought to go for it on fourth down.

And then those turnovers, like they outplayed them.

I like ASU big in this one.

I'm really impressed with their trenches.

I mean, they were the better team for three quarters against Texas A&M, as we talked about earlier.

They just made some coaching mistakes and the turnovers that cost them late.

And Jaden would have to... turn into first half of the...

Who was that bowl game against? Texas A&M? I don't know.

I don't

remember bowl

Because I agree with you.

Logic says easy over.

But we know that Jake Maiava has it in his bag to have a struggle bus game, even in games in which he has success in, like the SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl against Texas A&M.

Prime example, terrible first, what, 50 minutes of that game? Great last 10 minutes.

We'll talk about that in a minute.

They fucking doubled up A&M in yardage.

I know.

Gave them all those sixes.

I think Elko has got a lot to focus on and I think Kentucky's is blue.

They're load.

I will lay the 16.5 with A&M.

I can see a backdoor cover at the same time, too, but I will lay the 16.5 with A&M for the record.

Good arm strength.

He's been the backup, which is surprising to me because we all thought he'd be the third stringer because you brought in Hussein Longstreet, who's a former five-star that, remember, he committed at Texas A&M, ends up at Southern Cal.

a lot of talent and would run the offense pretty well.

The Leavitt thing is just very interesting because it just, again, you didn't hear anything about it.

I'm not tying Oklahoma in anything this week, so it should be much better.

My three-team teaser, I'll take Georgia again.

I'll put them down to 13.5. I'll take Texas A&M down to 6.5 against Kentucky.

And I'll take Bama down to 9.5 as well.

The first would be, for me, diagnosing the blitz and handling defenders coming from all over.

One of the things that certainly sticks out from Arizona State in going back and watching the Texas A&M game that they played is this is a defense that – we'll kind of throw a lot of different looks at you at the line of scrimmage, different looks where, you know, some guys are standing up.

Some guys are in three point stances, different looks where some guys are going to charge in, like they're going to blitz.

And then they back off in coverage, different looks where some guys are going to try to sneak through for a blitz and basically just trying to make you think about things and be ready for what is going to come at you and trying to confuse you and trying to, you know sometimes it is a blitz and trying to confuse you where the blitz is coming from other times it's not a blitz and just trying to make you think one thing that's not there and then they fly around the football and they've got a lot of quick players out there that make it difficult right so sometimes it might only be a four or five man rush even too but it's like where is that four or five man going to come from and they just do a lot of disguises of where it is going to come from it is a very interchangeable defensive scheme it feels like with guys kind of flying around and so Here's where it becomes the big question for KU.

So he is a huge guy.

He's already got 15 catches for 326 yards and four scores.

He torched the Texas A&M secondary.

I'm going to be very interested to see how KU matches up with this, but we'll get to more of that in a second.

have won quite a few.

There's been a couple times this week that the Texas A&M game has come up in conversations because Le'Veon Moss is one of the only running backs to go over 100 yards and D.J. Durkin's defense while being at Auburn last year.

And, of course, that's a big conversation with Florida coming to town this week.

So that game alone is a big reason.
