Our new OC didn't call a particularly good game, at least not early on.
His playcalling was fine--McCarron had a couple missed throws on the first 3 Bama drives, though. He was better when he settled down.
quote:
A tipped pass for an INT.
That was a pick that A&M earned. Completely fooled McCarron into throwing into what he thought was the open spot in a cover 2 look. Aggies shifted to a cover 3 after the snap. That was a third down pass, too. It wasn't getting completed anyway, and the short INT return was tantamount to what could have been a solid return on a Bama punt.
quote:
A no-call when one of our DB's got held and let Manziel break off a long run.
There were no-calls on the other side, too. Mike Evans (our WR #13) was getting mugged all game.
quote:
JFF fumbling the damn ball to himself then throwing for a TD when the defense reacted.
That was the one "lucky" play of the game, IMO. Just so happened to go for a score.
quote:
Fumbles.
ONE fumble. And again, a turnover that A&M forced. If Yeldon holds onto the ball and goes down, that would have been about a 7 yard gain in A&M territory. But Steven Terrel STRIPPED him of the ball, and did so violently.
quote:
ETC. ETC.
All of these are things that happen in football. It's just that this was one of those games where they all happened at once
No. Quit pretending that this was some fluke game A&M won. The Aggies beat y'all straight up, no excuses.

According to you, some guy who was probably watching his first Bama game. quote:

I didn't say he didn't deserve it. But, if you want to rely on well-thrown balls going off of Bama's WR's hands and into your DB's hands, then you have a poor gameplan.

I'm sure there were.

Yes, no luck anywhere else, on either side.

Yes, one fumble, and two INT's. Like I said, shite happens, but that's a lot of turnovers compared to most games by Bama. They lost 12 fumbles and had 3 INT's all year.

I think A&M deserved to win. I just don't think they could do it 2 out of 3 times. This post was edited on 8/1/13 at 10:38 am

I think the more we see zone, the more we'll run the ball. Kingsbury didn't realize this in the beginning of the year. McKinney knows how to call a good running game. But we'll see, JFF has supposedly been working on his reads this summer so he can better pick apart zone coverage.
TBird is correct. A&M forced turnovers, they were not unforced errors. Our D Coordinator should get more credit for calling a terrific game.
But I did go back and watch that last TD pass. Swope burned the DB(Sunseri?) bad off the line, so he literally tackled Swope's legs to bring him down. Didn't matter b/c Manziel threw to Kennedy for the score anyway.

Evans really got screwed in the 2nd half of that game. The worst call was the ridiculous offensive PI where it turned a big 1st down catch into A&M being pinned deep in their own territory. He had 2 Non PI calls when the Bama DB had his back completely turned from the ball and hit his hands before the ball arrived.
That doesn't even account for the pick that could have gone either way by Everett. It was particularly big because Bama scored 2 plays later and it would otherwise have been A&M ball with time running down and a 12 point lead. Then there was the huge momentum shift of Manziel putting the ball in the wrong hand on his 4th down run that would have likely ended up with an A&M score with little time left in the first half but instead became a Bama TD at the end of the half.
Bama got at least as many breaks as A&M in that game.
