First let me say, as the perennial basher of all things Chad Morris over the past 2 years, I was and still am pumped about the Sam Pittman hire. He's smart, humble, loves our state, knows how to coach OL (arguably the most important position on the field), and can definitely recruit. He checks all the boxes and rightfully so....and boy has he delivered so far. The turnaround has been amazing and fun to watch. The future is amazingly bright for our program.
That out of the way, looking at just this next game, I want to beat TAMU bad. They are the one game I would pick to win if I could only win one.
BUT, Jimbo would be a complete idiot if he does anything else other than line up and run the ball all game long. While our pass defense has been amazing, our run defense has lacked. Both Auburn and Ole Miss were carving us pretty good when they would just run the ball. I expect Odom, Pittman and company will have a good game plan in place, and I certainly know we have just as good a chance to win as they do, but I feel like this one is a tossup.
If we are healthy, I like our chances. If not its gonna be tough. If Jimbo gives Mond enough rope he will hang himself for sure. I look for a lot of run game ball control from the Aggies this week. The offense will have to step up.

We get back 3 starters on defense for that game. The DE (can't remember his name), Bumper Pool, and Montaric Brown. We had some guys step up while they were out. Hopefully with the added experience and depth, Odom can cook up a scheme more favorable for the Aggies.

I don’t see any way we win this game. Especially with it being in College Station. I expect this to be like the UGA game where they wear us down in the second half with the run game and pull away for a score that doesn’t look close on paper.

What we've seen so far has been encouraging, but we're just not there yet, I'm afraid. I'd like to be wrong, but I don't see us winning this one. Looking forward to the Tennessee, LSU, and Missouri games for our next chances at wins.

We gonna have to run the ball better. Need to be more efficient on offense in general, obviously. I feel like the rushing 3, dropping 8 ain't gonna work with A&M's better-than-average run game. Mond is gonna Mond though. He's definitely interceptable.
