re: 270 yards passing is why A&M lost!

I understand a lot of the points made in this thread, I just don't think they match the facts very well of what actually happened in the game. A&M scored both of their TD's on power running plays in short yardage for instance. Also, this offense is going to vary the definition of a "running play". A run is certainly a QB draw, esp when you have a QB like Manziel. A run is also loosely a quick screen pass in how it is viewed by the coaches. I don't think you need to go with a 2 TE formation with a FB in the I formation to run the football. I agree that this offense will need to evolve but I think it will. Kevin Sumlin was also the OC at OU when they had Adrian Peterson. The offense itself isn't a classic Air Raid because Air Raid offenses don't have a QB that run as much as Manziel. Throw in the quality of RB's A&M has on the roster and those on the way. Certainly the Air Raid is the base though. The key to winning in the SEC though is defense, not offense. A dynamic offense is fine so long as the defense is there to make the stops. Spurrier's Florida teams were a great example of this. They were successful early on but once he developed a great defense with Stoops as his DC they were dominant and won a NC. Also, Time of possession was 30:10 for A&M, 29:50 for LSU. A&M had one 3 and out in the 2nd Half and that was on after the KO return. On the series Manziel went the wrong way away from the hole and a walk in TD on 1st Down and made a terrible throw on 3rd down when he had an open Receiver. Offensively the key is eliminating the mistakes and Manziel mastering the Air Raid. For instance A&M played La Tech the previous week and though they did not have the same talent as A&M (outside of one WR that was fantastic) the execution of the Air Raid they ran was amazing and they really made no major mistakes offensively. If A&M can get their execution to that level with the talent they have available I don't know how you stop it. Defensively the key is recruiting more than anything. A&M needs depth and talent. I actually think the scheme works well and have been pleased with Snyder at DC. We desperately need DB's and more depth to take the next steps though I have been very pleased with what our D has done so far considering the limitations we have.

you are fricking clueless

you lost the game becuase you made it to the LSU side of the field 8 times in the first 55 mintues of the game and came away with 1 touchdown.

you lost the game beucase unlike the Big 12, you are going to play NFL calibur secondarys on a weekly basis. Here is a hard fact for yo azz. You want to know the highest ranked player in the secondary that got drafted from the big 12 last year? I know this off the top of my head (I'm a draftnik). Jamell Flemming from OU in the 3rd round. The only other coener from the big 12 that was even drafted came from your team in the 7th round.

The SEC on the other hand, had 4 taken.. int he first round. 3.. int he top 10. 80% of all secondary players in the first round were taken from the SEC.

and this isn't an SEC chest bump post. this is a this shite is not gonna work against NFL secondary players post. ti's not gonna work. it's not gonna work. because nfl caliber players make plays. Eric Reid? he's pretty fricking good lol. eventually a player of eric reids calibur if you throw the ball 58 fricking times is going to realize you are throwing the ball and is going to shut the shite down, being an all american and all.

but as bad as that shite is, THAT'S not the number 1 reason you lost. you lost beucase while you won the TOP, that number is extremely slatned towards the first half. antoher songofthesword state fo yo azz; you only had the ball for a grand total of 12 minutes and 6 seconds in the 2nd half. if you take out the 2 bullshite drives you had after lsu put the game away you didnt' have teh ball for 10 minutes in the 2nd half.

and that is why you fricking lost. your defense got tired from being on the field. they got pounded into the ground and your coach is too stupid to realize lsu was playing rope a dope all game long.

with a team that included Ryan Mallett, Tyler Wilson, DJ Williams (packers), Chris Gragg (first team all sec pre season this year), Greg Childs, Jarius Wright, Joe Adams, Cobi Hamilton... Petrino ran the ball 5% more over his career than he passed it. and you are sititng here aruging me talking about it's the talent. GTFO

Look i get it. you ilke your coach. shite i like your coach. but the offense is not going to fricking work. not in the SEC west when you play alabama and lsu every year. that's 2 auto losses with that offense before you even get out the gate.

and shite, i mean, it's not even like this is a hard fix lol.

1. take a tight end or a full back
2. put him in the game
3. give the ball to michael
4. ???
5. profit.

that's it. you dno't even have to leave the spread. this isn't a 4-5 year fix. this is a 4-5 minute fix. run the motherfricking ball behind the big bad arse o line you have. shite guys
