Aggy 2024: Still waiting on the Looch 44

I forgot that Anderson fucked over the Texas staff last winter. Reached out and asked if he could transfer, got confirmation, said he'd be there and then got moneywhipped and guilted by ATM. Texas eventually sorted its needs anyway, but it pissed them off.

Did we get Catalon shortly after that?

Cross-posting since you guys asked (posted this on the screenshot thread earlier today).

******************************************

Snarky Tarp can be pretty good.

(From an Aggie 247 thread on Moose Muhammad's (lack of) playing time.

 

 

 

From what I've inferred, Muhammad plays the same position as Ainias Smith so that's why he's not getting many reps. 

This is such an indictment of their coaching staff. I don't care what position Muhammad plays. You find a way to get him on the field. I thought he was their best WR last year.

Anias Smith getting hurt probably kept both players at aggy another season.

Smith also doesn't look like the same player post-injury. Maybe it's the new system? I dunno but 6 catches for 67 yards against that level of competition isn't great. 

But hey, maybe that's who they want on the field over Muhammad.

Muhammad has the fewest targets of all their WRs (who play):

Also confirms that Muhammad is backing up Ainias Smith in the slot.

A transcription of Jimbo's comments about the field being slick:

“Ah, maybe we had the wrong cleats. I don’t know. I mean the middle of the field did slip, but they know they had the same guys we did. I know I notice Conner a couple times actually he was getting ready to throw and his feet went out from under him. And that happen. And what you’ll happen a lot of times, when you play teams that have different logos, in other words I say multiple teams played a sport, they change that logo out. Well, when they do that, they change, that grass has to be interchanged, so that’s usually (snaps finger) done on a very quick, uh, and then plus their stadium… those stadiums that have that half, uh, (builds house with his hands) and don’t get the sunlight and the dry out and you had the rain, and plus uh, and you’ll wet that part to make that grass take, and it makes that slick. And then they’ll paint on the emblem. And when you have to take stadiums, and my history of it, always do that, you’ll have a lot of that some of those issues occasionally in that situation and that seemed to what happened.”

The classic Tom Herman approach to receivers. Only the slot receiver is allowed to catch passes, and only one guy per year is allowed to play in the slot.

Yes, but I don't know how closely related that is versus the safety and NB they took late as well in the recruiting class.

ATM gets ULM this weekend, and I think we all honestly expect a blowout. After that, they face the crucible of Auburn, Arkansas (neutral), Alabama, @Tenn. I know anything can happen, but I don't think we've seen anything from Fisher, his staff, or his team that speaks to resilience or steely resolve. So maybe they are 6-1 by their bye week. But maybe they're sitting at 4-3 or 3-4 by their bye week. If something like that happens, I expect the wheels to come flying completely off for this season and that recruiting class.

Maybe Fisher hires Mel Tucker as an analyst and he helps Durkin actually put a defense together and they roll through their schedule. If there's one thing we can count on - it's that Fisher will hire the most unsavory guys he can find to build out his staff. Mel Tugger seems like he'd be a good fit as a dumbass with low moral fiber but a background in coaching at P5 programs.

I watched Auburn against Cal.  Both are fucking terrible.  Auburn may not win a conference game.  Arkansas looks like they are in the throes of digesting the last vestiges of a failed Sam Pittman experiment and are going nowhere.  A&M will beat one of Alabama or TN and be 5-2.  The SEC is garbage this year.

yeah, but aggy is also terrible. 1-7 against power 5 teams in the last 8 games speaks for itself. 

They've been losing to mediocre and bad P5 teams for quite some time now.

They lost to Auburn last year without a coach. Arkansas is a bowl team and all Jefferson has to do this season against ATM is not be a complete fucking idiot. Those aren’t gimmes.

2 minutes of U highlights. Does this look like one of college football's most talented rosters? The last TD (at 1:35) has a DB you'll wonder "who the fuck is that idiot" - it appears to be Jardin Gilbert a 4 star junior from University Lab Baton Rouge.

Their offensive line is as bad as everyone expected. 

They averaged 3 yards a carry from their RBs and that was against a Miami DL missing 3 starters in the 2nd half. The aggy OL can't block in the run game or pass pro. The only reason this wasn't a 25 point Miami win is because aggy was able to pass the ball in the 2nd half due to less pressure which was simply because Miami's DL was missing 3 starters. 

Fatheree didn’t play, right?

Guys like Thomas and DeBerry being slow and limited makes sense, it's a freshman and a guy who was fine but not elite at BC, but Gilbert was a deep bluechip. The coaching isn't there.

Then again, so was Tony Grimes, and he's just flat out bad.

Anderson was playing like he didn't want to be out there. There are multiple highlights where he is loafing behind the play in pursuit. I think they benched him sometime in the 3rd quarter.

[texifornia 56,510]

Initial thoughts on watching aggy-Miami:

Owens is fast and good with the ball in his hands. I don't trust him to block anything or get any yards up the middle. That's ok! He's a freshman. Different kind of back than Ced Baxter.

Holy fuck is the aggy OL bad

The unbeveled uniforms are a massive improvement. You're a weird farm school that wears maroon. Be a weird farm school that wears maroon. Mississippi State's "fancy" uniforms look like dogshit every time anyway.

Wow, no one in Miami gave a shit about attending a game against aggy. In a big event-obsessed city, they are not a big event.

Why is Demani Richardson now built like a slow linebacker?

How did they suck away all of Jardin Gilbert's speed and tackling ability?

Josh DeBerry was good at BC! He's already played Miami! What the fuck happened?

I'm picking on the DBs because the DL universally gave Van Dyke a year to throw.

Weigman might die this year

Evan Stewart has no interest in lowering his shoulder at any point
