A year of film on A&M/JFF

Next season, when SEC DC''s have a year of film that isn't Houston's offense with some other QB,WR's etc, how big of an impact will this have in slowing down A&M?
Florida had nothing to watch and did a nice job containing them. LSU also shut themdown for the first 26 min of the 2nd half. I think A&M's time in the sun will be brief if they don't develop a strong running game.

A&M leads the SEC in rushing.
Also, our offense isn't just gonna stagnate at the end of year 1

A lot of A&M's yards and plays come after contact. Granted, the style of play creates missed tackles, but one of the vulnerabilities is that since the better defenses are often able to make contact, finding a way to follow through with that initial contact would leave A&M looking for other ways to make plays.
Will be interesting to see how it all unfolds for the next few years.

These kind of comments reek of wishful thinking. Yes, the SEC will have a year of film on A&M and Manziel, but Manziel will have another year of learning the system, developing physically, and getting accustomed to his teammates. Players are virtually always better their soph year than their fresh year, for obvious reasons.

That's all JFF. He has almost 800 yds more than your next leading rusher.
Like I said, a strong running game.

Well you are losing a pretty big part of your success in the offensive line

is 800 the new 300? Because Ben Malena has 687 yards and is averaging 6.3 ypc. And is JFF not allowed to rush next year?

If he's leading the SEC in rushing, it IS a strong running game. Running doesn't necessarily mean that the ball must be handed off to the RB. Designed QB runs and scrambles work just as well. JFF has proven hard (but not impossible) to stop in that department.
The best way to limit his (and, by extension, A&M's) rushing opportunities is to make him a passer and force A&M to be one-dimensional. Problem is, he's improved exponentially as a passer (see the difference between his passing in the UF and Bama games), and if the D sits back too long waiting for the pass, either JFF or one of our RBs will gash you.
It's not an impossible offense to stop by any means, but it's effective in that it basically forces the defense to pick it's poison. Then it all comes down to execution.

No, not really.

That's what I'm talking about when I say strong running game. I'm not being a smart arse, but week in week out,in this league, a QB cannot be the focus of the running game and stay healthy. Tebow as big as he was, had Rainey and Demps and that was their biggest flaw. The lack of a strong running game. Maybe I should've said power running game.

Big foot took a picture of JFF

I'm certainly not going to look forward to playing him the next 2-3 years. Good thing we have them at home next year.
I wouldn't discount their defense as well. Moore and Porter will be high draft picks. Pretty sure Moore either leads the league or is close to it in the SEC in sacks

I know you're not being a smartass, sorry if I came off as one. I hear what you're saying, but I think we'll just have to agree to disagree. The type of offense we run is different than anyone else in this league. We don't need a traditional power running game because teams are forced to adapt to our attack.

What good will an entire year of film do for a defensive coordinator when he'll only have one week to prepare? That's the biggest problem for SEC coaches when preparing for A&M. They match up against down hill running teams every week and have to adjust completely for A&M. The bottom line is it doesn't matter what you prepare for if you cannot stop it in the first place.
Florida was able to stop JFF because it was his first game ever and JFF had not yet learned to adjust himself. LSU got out by the skin of their teeth thanks completely to A&M. If that game is played today A&M wins 7 out of 10 times.

Saban had almost a whole year of film and we beat him.
Unless you think our last two games against Mizzou and a FCS team really matter, then your premise is flawed.

Because one player MAYBE leaving early = our entire line
Such wishful thinking.

Exactly why we DON'T want a "power running game."
SEC teams are used to it, heck Bama is built to stop it.
What SEC teams are not used to is an up tempo spread so that is what we will use.
I know it hurts the pride of SEC fans, but the power running game is overrated.
