Don't be surprised if a&m beats Florida next week

[jimmy40]

Kyle field will be absolutely rocking and Florida looks like crap.

[RS12]

Muschamp looks like a short timer to me.

[jimmy40]

that fluke INT and missed filed goal just took all the air out of Bowling Green.

[Aikbach]

Yeah, me thinks Kyle Field's recent history intimidates no one that has come to play, the home team will be emotionally spent very quickly.

[jimmy40]

Yeah, me thinks Kyle Field's recent history intimidates no one that has come to play, the home team will be emotionally spent very quickly.I think Sumlin's up tempo offense is going to give Florida fits even with a freshman QB. a&m's oline is a billion times better than Bowling Green and Green was handling Florida's front seven.

[The30YardSlant]

Florida looked pretty poor today. Their offense looks just as bad and their defense was just ok against a team that will probably finish neear the bottom of a small conference.

That being said, never bet on a freshman qb in his first game.

We have a real chance to change the course of our program tomorrow with the college football universe revolving around College Station for a day. With all of the coverage and potential recruiting impacts, all we need to do is not fall on our faces and beat a beatable team at home.

Win this game and it nullifies a year's worth of "you guys can't win in the SEC" talk from certain fanbases.

[Biggems]

I will be surprised if this game is competitive. I am trying to draw a comparison for what Muschamp has done to Florida, but I simply cannot think of a coach who has taken over a stacked deck from a coach who won 2 National Titles, and then turned that stacked deck into a deck completely void of aces.

The Aggies, even with a freshman QB, should absolutely roll......and leave the field wearing gator skin boots.....

hahahaha

i have to give the Aggie credit for one thing....they are being humble about being in the SEC, trying not to make waves.......Missouri is going to wish they had kept quiet....Georgia, LSU, Arkansas, and definitely Alabama are going to take those pansies to school and teach them what real football is.

That stacked deck was not so stacked as some think and that is one of the reasons urban myers left and miraculously got healthy enough to take on another HC in a short time.

Now that does not mean I am saying that Muschamp is a good or bad coach. But to act like Florida was stacked and looking good is not quite true as Myers left that place with some troubles going on.

With that said I would not be shocked at all if Florida lost. Also if A&M win against Florida it does not automatically mean they can win in the sec unless you mean a couple of wins vs a winning record in the sec vs sec teams.

I'll be surprised if we "roll" because Florida's defense is stout and our QB is a freshman, but I agree the deck is stacked against Florida. I think it will be close however because Manziel will have a turnover or two and they will get some easy points. Luckily, their offense as a whole isnt much to write home about.

I've had a lot of people tell me they don't think A&M will beat anyone outside of Ole Miss and Vanderbilt in the foreseable future. We need to beat a team with name recognition, if for no other reason than it keeps SEC coaches and guys like Stoops and Mack from telling recruits thse guys can't cut it. I don't care if Florida is a 7-5 type team, they're still Florida.

[jimmy40]

Win this game and it nullifies a year's worth of "you guys can't win in the SEC" talk from certain fanbases.only in aggie's minds. You were a middle of the pack team in the Big 12, you'll be the same in the sec.

[The30YardSlant]

For now

[Biggems]

BTW, what does one do when he despises both teams? I want both to lose......however, while I think A&M will dominate, I will be rooting for Florida, simply because of Muschamp.

HOOK EM

[The30YardSlant]

I would imagine the vast majority of Big XII fans will be rooting for Florida for an assortment of reasons.

[jimmy40]

I would imagine the vast majority of Big XII fans will be rooting for Florida for an assortment of reasons.Why? You guys get your *** beat and it will be even further embarrassment for the Big 12 even though your gone. I hope a&m wins.

[jimmy40]

without a doubt this is a&m's Super Bowl. The vibe here around town the last week rivals that of UT week.

[The30YardSlant]

Why? You guys get your *** beat and it will be even further embarrassment for the Big 12 even though your gone. I hope a&m wins.

Texas and OU don't need another program to compete with for high level Texas recruits. A&M's recruiting has already improved just as a product of being in the SEC, imagine if we actually start winning in the SEC.

[jimmy40]

You guys have owned East Texas forever, going to the SEC is just going to cost you guys more recruits to LSU.

[Chocolate Lab]

Those new unis look bad ***. They should've gone to these years ago. Great job by somebody.

This freshman QB looks really good so far, too. Of course it's super early as I type this.

Yeah...he's not looking like a freshman at all. Fluid and calm.

[kmp77]

This kid is exciting to watch...

[windward]

Liking Manziel. Almost Romo-esque.

Same unis from the 70's except the helmet was white... was always a great look and completely their own...

I believe it was Jackie Sherrill changed the uni to ring in a "new era"...

[jimmy40]

halftime festivities will include Musburger presenting Manzel with the Heisman trophy.

[The30YardSlant]

Like the uniforms better than I thought I would. They look great in the light of day.

Offense looks very good, moving the ball up and down the field against a good defense. Manziel and Williams look surprsingly awesome.

Defense is still shaky, not much depth. Florida's offensive line isn't that great though, so it's helping nullify our weakness.

[kmp77]

Williams and Manziel look GOOD :eek: :eek:

http://www.helmethut.com/College/TexasAM/TexasAM%207277%20(3).jpgpretty sure that got rid of the stripes to put numbers on the shoulders for television purposes.

[kmp77]

Another Gator hurt! Broken arm????

[trickblue]

Looks like the Aggie offense is the new Wrecking Crew... they are physically dominating the Gator defense... with extreme prejudice...

[Sitting Bull]

This is going to be a great game. Freshman QB looks like a winner and these RBs are finishing runs.

[The30YardSlant]

Our defense may be iffy, but Sumlin is a damn genius on offense. This is ridiculous what we're going to a good, borderline great defense.

[jimmy40]

Muschamp will never make it to his third year.

[The30YardSlant]

Muschamp will never make it to his third year.

It does seem like he's driving that program into the ground. Their passing game is just non-existent outside of a rare big YAC play.

[jimmy40]

[jimmy40]

It does seem like he's driving that program into the ground. Their passing game is just non-existent outside of a rare big YAC play.their recruiting classes were wayyyyyyy overated just like UT's for a few years. Urban Meyer ran away for a reason.

[The30YardSlant]

great defense? Bowling Green was pushing these guys around.

Didn't they return 9 starters from a top 5 defense?

[Kangaroo]

Florida is getting beat up physically by the Aggies. Florida is becoming a walking mash unit before half time

[The30YardSlant]

Florida is getting beat up physically by the Aggies. Florida is becoming a walking mash unit before half time

They're also faking cramps.

[DallasCowpoke]

Really, REALLY appreciating more and more, the day that phone call was made from Gainesville to Austin and somebody put Muschamp on the phone.

[jimmy40]

Didn't they return 9 starters from a top 5 defense?did you watch last week? hell did you watch SEC offenses last year?

[jimmy40]

They're also faking cramps.are you really going there after all the aggie defense's fake injuries last year?

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Mental mistake at the end of the half by Aggies.

[jimmy40]

I've never seen a team from the state of Florida that couldn't handle hot weather, and it's not even hot here today.

[jimmy40]

Florida's QB makes a great scramble and Musburger has nothing to say?

[jnday]

did you watch last week? hell did you watch SEC offenses last year?

The SEC offenses done well anytime they were not facing an SEC defense.

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Aggies choking. :laugh2:

[kmp77]

Crammmppppps :lmao2: :lmao2:

[jimmy40]

what freaking tempo is Florida trying to disrupt? aggies have about 2 yards in the second half.

[Kangaroo]

The aggies young QB is holding onto the ball to long he has to learn to throw even when coverage is tight

[jimmy40]

was that Case McCoy?

[jimmy40]

aggie fans never leave early...........unless they're losing.

[jimmy40]

someone needs to tell Musburger that Auburn sucks.

[jimmy40]

kudos to Muschamp. I didn't think he had it in him.

[BrAinPaiNt]

1st half =flying high
2nd half =crash and burn

Giving up a lead and losing a game = Aggie "tradition".

[jimmy40]

since Muschamp used to be Texas' defensive coordinator I claim this to be a win in the record books for UT. Put it on the stadium.

[BoysFan4ever]

I am paraphrasing but in his post game interview Muschamp said he didn't have a problem disappointing the Aggie crowd.

I guess he still has some UT in him.

[The30YardSlant]

I'm beginning to think that it doesnt matter who the coach is or what conference were in, this is just who A&M is in this era of college football. Florida had no busness winning that game and it was a perfect storm of circumstance for A&M, and yet we flopped. Again.

Just doesn't make any logical sense.

[Biggems]

the key to beating the Aggies seems to be to play the second half.....since they seem to only want to play the first half.

Just doesn't make any logical sense.how about mixing in a damn run play in the second half? your oline is too damn good to just run that 5 yard passing crap all the time.

[Cythim]

The game was a result of Sumlin protecting Manzeil from making a bad decision. Muschamp made some good changes at halftime and Manzeil couldn't figure it out. Once Muschamp realized Manzeil was not going to throw a deep ball he had his safeties come up and his corners playing tighter coverage. Hopefully with more experience Sumlin will trust his QB.
