re: Josh Pate picks USC to upset A&M
Posted by RoyalAir on 10/31/24 at 12:59 pm
Pate has a soft spot for SC, and has for a while.
SC will be unable to keep this remotely close. aTm is just simply better at every position, and every coaching spot. ...

[quote]A&M and SC are very much alike[/quote]
Rationally, I agree. They're carbon copies of each other in terms of what they do well- except aTm has a better OL and a better OC. That's probably the difference, unless SC generates a lot of turnovers. But aTm does that very well, too, and SC (pre-O...

Yall are soft as baby shite as a fanbase.
You expect to have everyone kiss your arse, and expect to win just because you show up. Very, very few people on this board are picking SC to win- *including* the SC fans. All anyone is saying is that it's going to be a competitive game, and it's aTm's big...

At the moment.
This is pretty clearly calculated. The Dems are gathering Intel and data about what they need to juice the system on Gameday.

[quote]USC likes to blitz the QB and get sacks and TO's[/quote]
The vast majority of SC's sacks and QB pressures are from the front 4, not from blitzing. It's the major reason the secondary generates so many picks - they're covering WRs while the QB is under duress. Emmanwori is feasting as a res...

They're good now. We're still SC.
Shame. Could have been fun. ...

[quote]A&M and Carolina are shockingly similar in terms of what they can and can’t do. [/quote]
That's my contention. Very similar teams, with very similar mindsets. Usually, you go with the home team in these cases.
But momentum is real, and aTm is feeling it right now. I fully expect there ...

I firmly believe that Tech de-emphasized sports over the last 20 years or so. They more or less chased away all their sidewalk fans, to the point that they really don't have them any longer. Every time I meet a Tech fan, they're either an alum or they have a distinct family connection. They're good ...

[quote]Random towns in Georgia outside of metro Atlanta have less Tech people than Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, etc folks, whereas go to a random town in South Carolina or Alabama and there are going to be a minimum of 20-25% of one or the other fans.[/quote]

This is typical aTm all hat/no cattle response. You're playing a quality opponent *in their house.*

Exactly. If Ole Miss version of SC shows up, aTm wins in a laugher.
If Oklahoma version of SC shows up...
