Weigman vs Reed Game Observations

I don’t have stats, nor have I rewatched every game to analyze everything they’ve done right and wrong all season. This is just my opinion on what I see.

Connor - He seems anxious, unsettled, and gets rattled way too easily when things aren’t going the team’s way. Something’s off with him, but I don’t know what.

Marcel - Seems so comfortable on the field and is a gamer. Coach called his name after halftime and told him to go out there and win it, and he did just that in front of 109k. He looked like he belonged at QB on the field last night.

I want the QB playing who gives the Ags the best opportunity to win, and I’m so grateful that we have a HC that wants the same thing and was willing to make a change when it needed to be made last night.

Here’s to both Connor and Marcel being part of continued winning going forward. I truly want them both to succeed.

Culture Change

Like everyone, I am still high on seeing those fvcks from LSU with those stupid "what just happened" looks on their faces, but even more than that, I am impressed with our guys looking like they did what they were supposed to do.

Thinking about it quickly, I can think of three clear examples that demonstrate the different culture, mentality, or what ever you want to call it.

1. Taking the goal line stand seriously against Missouri when the game was already decided.

2. The overall in-game/halftime adjustments made and the balls to pull Weigman and put in Reed.

3. 4th and 15 and attacking the QB.*

*This one might not grab the attention of TDs and dynamic offensive plays, but in the long run, this is they type approach that I think will get us to the next level - a championship. I am pleased.

Gig'em, boys!

Thoughts on the game.

Wow what a game. It was watching two different games.
As I sat there before half and in the early 3rd my thought was we are only down by 10 points. Just need to score and it’s a 3 point game. LSU had manhandled us for most of the game and it was only a 10 point game.
But CW was off, rattled and done. But Elko was channeling his inner jimbo. Damn I thought I was watching our season flush down the toilet The punter was the highlight thus far and he ripped off another one of beauty.
Then the interception. Insert Reed and one play changed the night. It was like a light switch it all changed. Even the refs couldn’t save them tigers wow what a game
Told them corn dogs to go home and take their refs with them

Y’all wanna hear some fvcked up shit???

I’m higher than giraffe pussy on this win and this bud and these caps!! Greatest win this program has witnessed inzzz…….carry the one and divide it by I don’t give a FVCK!!!

Some of you idiots are STILL finding a way to argue and bitch about who was right,…and most importantly, apparently….WHEN!!

Enjoy this high while it’s in the present!! LIKE NORMAL FVCKING PEOPLE!!!! We don’t get a lot of these….as Aggies. Learn to enjoy the moment….and save your fvcking self-righteous horseshit for another day. I’m tryin to bask for fvcks sake!!!

LSU Comeback, Key Stats of the Game.

1. 31 to 7. Points scored while Reed was in vs. points scored while Weigman was in. Res ipsa loquitur, bro. While Conner has some bad breaks, he just couldn't complete passes, going 6/18 for only 64 yards. Reed nearly equaled those passing yards on one play, and was 2/2 for 70 yards, dropping 54 yard dime to well covered Noah Thomas with the kind of throw Weigman has not completed all year. But he killed LSU with his feet, rushing 9 times for 62 yards and an astounding 3 TDs. Simply put he took over the game. I suppose we will still have a QB controversy but we shouldn't.

2. Nussmeir 11/24 in the second half with three interceptions. When we started pressuring him he turned out to be mortal after all and started making game changing mistakes. With the exception of one play the Aggie defense shut down this Heisman wannabe in the second half. Even so, the Nussmeir otherwise smoked the Aggie pass defense for 405 yards passing, but the real story here is the three interceptions, all in the second half.

3. LSU with 24 rushes for . . . 23 yards. Less than a yard per rush. Defense was disruptive again with two sacks and total of six TFLs. LSU had 11 rushes for 24 yards in the first half, so their second half rushing stats were 13 for -1.

4. LSU 1/4 with for field goal attempts, yes, I'm counting the snap that bounced off the holder's shoulder. LSU's field goal kicker/team left nine crucial points on the field.

5. A&M with 10 penalties for 97 yards. In the things to work on category this stands out. Some of the penalties were often stupid killers. We need to do better.

Overall: Marcel Reeds saves the day as Elko last night did what he should have done in the Notre Dame game. The Aggies should slip into the Top 10 today. Next up the Aggies travel to South Carolina, who is better than their 2-3 conference record.

I have been pretty vocal in my opposition to hiring Elko

As with any new coach, it has to be proven on the field and the win column, however, after hearing him myself, I find myself exponentially more confident and optimistic than I was 36 hours ago. I'll put it like this. If I had a son that was a really good player being recruited by A&M, I wouldn't hesitate for a second to send him to play for Elko.

Halftime Observations

That was a typical Texas A&M first half in the a big game. They came out flat and intimidated and have not matched the moment.



Conner Weigman has flat out stunk. There’s no other way to put it. He’s 5-14 for 49 yards and he’s not missing by a little, he’s missing by a lot. And I don’t mean with his passes, I mean with his judgments. He’s had guys running free in the secondary and hasn’t seen them or hasn’t had the guts to throw the ball. When he has opportunities to run, he hasn’t. He looks very conservative and rattled. He’s right on line with his Notre Dame performance. He had one good drive and A&M scored. Otherwise, he’s been terrible.

The running game has been pretty good. A&M has 98 yards rushing at 4.5 yards a clip. Le’Veon Moss shook off his fumble to break off a few big runs, running over Jardin Gilbert twice in the process. Moss has 54 yards and a touchdown, while Amari Daniels has 38 yards on 7 carries.

The offensive line has not been good in pass protection at all. Kam Dewberry hadn’t given up a pressure all season to this point, and he’s been beaten up badly. Trey Zuhn gave up a sack on Weigman’s first drop back. Ar’Maj Reed-Adams was talking all kinds of crap and has two penalties for 20 yards, including a personal foul that led directly to an LSU touchdown.

The defense has been horrible in the tackling department. Dalton Brooks missed a tackle that led to a 76-yard touchdown pass and several other missed tackles led to huge gains. Garrett Nussmeier has already thrown for 259 yards, with 175 of those yards coming after the catch. That tells you immediately A&M’s playing way too far off and not tackling well.

The defensive front has gotten some pressure on Nussmeier, even if he hasn’t been sacked. But he’s done a great job stepping up in the pocket, eluding pressure and keeping his eyes downfield — things Weigman is not doing. The Aggie secondary has broken up some potential touchdowns, but they’ve been really soft in short and intermediate routes and that’s what’s killing them.

LSU’s rushing game has been non-existent. They have 24 yards on 11 carries and had 6 carries for 2 yards in the second quarter. But if you can’t rattle Nussmeier, it’s not going to matter. They’re going to throw all day.

A&M gets the ball to start the third quarter and they have to do something with it. If Reed-Adams and the line are going to talk crap, they’d better back it up. They need to get Moss going again and go right at LSU. Maybe Weigman can do something off of playaction if his head is screwed back on right.


But so far, this is just another example of A&M laying an egg in a game that could be trajectory-altering.

Gigem Aggies!

Not the place for this I know, but I’m devastated after this win because my wife hates Aggie football, I love Aggie football and you knot heads I love too! But after a generational win I’m supper depressed. I know most of you could care less, but my Aggie family, I’m seriously depressed, NO, I have no intentions of suicide, but my wife has made me super depressed on the evening of an enormous win! I don’t care if you like me or not, but instead of an enormous win I feel extremely depressed. Sorry to ruin this for some of you, but I thank you for putting up with me.
