Garbage. Absolute garbage.
I don't know what else you can say. It's been absolute garbage. A&M looks totally unprepared, intimidated and not overly interested. And this team is not good.
Payton Thorne is a trash quarterback and he's looked like Tom Brady. He has completed 7 of 9 passes for 190 yards and 2 touchdowns. That's 27.1 yards a completion. Cam Coleman has absolutely humiliated Dezz Ricks. He's over 100 yards and has two scores. The A&M has done a good job limiting Jarquez Hunter's efficiency, but it hasn't mattered at all. Thorne is picking A&M apart, and I can't figure out what on earth they're doing defensively. They're looking completely lost, and their pass rushers are running themselves completely out of plays. It's slop.
Oh, and their tackling sucks again.
Offensively, they've actually moved the ball pretty well. Auburn's defense has done a good job stopping the big run, but A&M has been able to get consistent positive yardage. Marcel Reed is taking off too early, and that's caused him to miss some wide open receivers. He's also not showing very good vision, because he keeps cutting inside when he could get more yardage by going out.
Jahdae Walker has been the guy so far, catching four passes including two for first down. They've made some plays, but not enough when they need them.
The Aggies do get the ball to start the third quarter, so maybe they can do something. But that last weak drive after the shanked punt was a huge disappointment. That had to be points and they didn't even get any yardage out of it.
Right now, A&M is playing worse than a bad football team. Defensively, they need to get their crap together immediately, because this is two straight crap performances against lower-tier SEC offenses. They are not playing close to their reputation as a "good" defense. Right now, they're bad.
It's gut-check time. Let's see if A&M has any.
