re: Bring me your positives from Saturday.

DL played really well, even with Garrett and Hall on the bench.

Pressure and more pressure. Loved it. More willing to blitz because the LBs are playing much better than last year. 5 sacks when UCLA suffered 14 total last year.

Justin Evans. 2 INTS and a game-winning blocked pass. And I don't think he's the best secondary guy A&M has.

Trevor Knight was exactly what was needed. Not spectacular and he had one bonehead mistake, but he was steady and didn't throw the game away, which has been a problem since JFF.

Keith Ford and Trayveon Williams complemented each other's different skills at RB. Neither (nor the two together) are Nick Chubb or Leonard Fournette, but they both played very well, helped out immensely by...

OL was WAY better than at any time last year. Sacks allowed? 0. RS Freshman center Erik McCoy named SEC OL of the week. Despite the "Chalk Talk" debacle, OL coach Jim Turner is the real deal.

New punter Shane Tripucka will make us forget about Kaser-for-Heisman. OK... probably not. But the kid was good.

Ricky Seals-Jones, Christian Kirk, and Josh Reynolds were all very good at WR. That was expected but was still good to see. And they get Speedy Noil back for the next game.

One negative that can't be ignored. UCLA fans warned us about Mazzone late in games. It's too early to know whether that was sour grapes or a real thing, but A&M's play-calling in the 4th was borderline putrid.
