We cannot run the ball. We cannot pass block. We cannot pick up blitzes. We are going to have 3-5 illegal procedure penalties per game. Been like this all year and last night was no different.

Our oline is abysmal. I’m not sure how many 3rd & 10s, 3rd & 12s, or 3rd and 18s we can reasonably expect any QB to convert when he is being chased before he can even get his feet set. We had guys coming through the line untouched on a dead run a number of times. Complete incompetence.

Yep we have a few other issues and aren’t a complete team but our problems in other areas are greatly magnified when the offense averages just over 4 plays per drive in the first half. Pathetic.

I duck hunted last weekend with a neighbor, a UT graduate who's son played for Texas A&M in the not too terribly distant past. He does not understand why the Aggies left the Big 12 for the SEC. He said they were a middling Big 12 team and are likely going to be a middling SEC team.

The season and last night was disappointing. However, I don’t think it warrants being ignorant about things. Your neighbor sounds like a butt hurt sip fan regardless of where his son played.

Honestly A&M leaving the B12 has put texass in a tailspin. They may not want to admit it publicly but there Is a lot of evidence pointing in this direction. Ags have benefitted in many ways but texass has not benefitted at all. The truth is texass has been a middling program since we announced we were leaving for the SEC. They beat an unmotivated UGA team last year but they still had 4 losses. Hardly elite.

No easy fix with OL this year. We have to recruit and develop our way out of this. It is bad news having to start a freshman on the OL regardless of how good they are. Hopefully some of the underclassmen will be ready to step up next year.

I would guess that we will try to slide Kenyon Green out to one of the tackle spots next year and plug Matthews or McCollum in at center.

What a weird thing to comment. We left because 1) we didn’t want to be in a conference run by the sips, 2) $$$$$, 3) long term stability, and 4) $$$$$$$.

Now back on topic, yes our offense has looked like sh** all season vs anybody with a pulse. I’m not sure what the solution is for next year, but jimbo is getting paid big bucks to figure it out fast.

In other words, the aggies are very much a middling SEC West team in some ways similar to Ole Miss/Miss State. They are not as good as the top tier teams. I guess that's what I meant. Maybe it will improve next year.
