Hating on our O-Line and our D, and still am. TAMU won the game for us. Either way, I'm happy.

It's possible that you could be lumping me in with the "hater" crowd; however, I was doing nothing more than calling what I saw happening on the field.

I'm happy that we won, but we can't win that way against half of the remaining opponents on our schedule. If we are going to have a good season, we MUST create holes for our running game, give TW more time to make plays, and clean up the lack of fundamentals that we have on defense. I don't see how one could argue with that (just speaking in general terms).

Personally, I believe that we can do all of the above. But... Considering how young our line is, I am not going to expect it. They are going to make mistakes and show their youth all season long. I'm glad we have a QB that is as tough as Tyler is. That motherfricker didn't bitch or moan all day long. He made lemonade and did the best he could with what he have, which was quite impressive to say the least.

I'm also guilty of giving Wingo the benefit of the doubt in the past, but quite frankly, I'm tired of it. Sure, he has his moments, but he just isnt a pure RB. His pass blocking seems serviceable, but I think he would make a better receiver. IMO, that's the role he should stick with - catching out of the backfield, that is.

Johnson, on the other hand, showed a lot of guts and willingness to make contact. He's got "the fire". I hope to see a lot more of him as the season progresses.

Green looked good as well, but I think he is only good in straight-ahead runs. His lateral movement is pretty much nonexistent. To me, he seems like a great 4th quarter back: he's big, strong, moves straight ahead, and is going to pick up yards against tired defenses no matter what.

As for our D... When they looked good, they looked pretty fricking good. But when they looked bad, it was beyond atrocious. I can appreciate Willie's adjustments at the half, but even so, they still looked lost at times. Fortunately, I think that all of their problems can be corrected.
