I'm not convinced Hookfin is going to pan out.  The reason I feel this way is because I've spent most of my life in the weight room and I can tell when someone is going to be a hard gainer, and he fit

He's actually #1, it's just taking him a while to get there.

He seems to be appropriately paid. aggy D is currently top 20 in only his first year and they’ve got some good players coming in. He’s solely responsible for stealing Brian Williams from us.

At some point this year it will dawn on aggy that Florida State improved their football program with the coaching change while the only thing improved in aggyland is Jimbo's bank account. 

Nothing ever dawns on aggy fans

They will probably squeak into a lower tiered bowl game, due to their auto-wins on the schedule, and the shitty bottom of the SEC. But they will also get abused at least 3 times this year, and they will definitely lose to Arky Chad. That O line and defense are trash.

The 4 game stretch in the 5 weeks after Bama should determine their bowl fate. They will likely be 2-2 and beat up pretty bad. Arkansas, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Mississippi State. They could likely be 4-0 or 0-4 against those teams. If they split they are likely going to a bowl game. 1-3 or worse and no bowl game is very likely.

I’m going to have position by position breakdowns over the next few days but here’s some quick thoughts.

Jimbo Fisher’s imprint on this program is evident by the level of physicality and energy displayed by both teams. Not only that, players have been coached up….you saw people playing with their hands and heads up. In particular, after a rough start the offensive linemen on both teams were much better at using their hands and staying after people even when they weren’t displacing them.

Fisher did something unprecendented in terms of any spring game…he put his starters back in late to see how they responded to the pressure of attempting to win a game. Normally, coaches just want to get out of the spring healthy and either rest people for the game or get their key players out early. However, Fisher wants this team to be able to compete and it’s still a learning process for them. He had to be pleased with what he saw because the Maroon team responded to the challenge by tying the game and then the White team came back and scored the winning touchdown with less than a minute to go. In addition, both offenses generated big plays in the passing game, especially Kellen Mond’s big throw to Kendrick Rogers to set up that game winning points.

When the Maroon blocked the extra point on the game winning touchdown, the White kicker picked up the ball and tried to generate something, even attempting to lateral it to a teammate and then multiple players on both sides fighting for it. No one cared about getting hurt…it was really important for the players to fight and try to win the game. Again, it’s a learning process with regard to these items but A&M took a nothing play and made it watchable because of the fight the players had in them.

Normally, once players get injured in the spring, they don’t come back in order to protect them for the fall. Otaro Alaka and Kendrick Rogers both missed practices during the spring and yet both were back for the spring game (Alaka missed three practices this week due to a pulled muscle in the back of his leg).

Fisher said that the quarterbacks were semi-live because he wanted them to feel pressure and respond to it. In fact, they weren’t just pressured…they got hit as well. Despite this, both quarterbacks got better as the game went on. Kellen Mond even blocked downfield on a running play. Again, when’s the last time you saw that in a spring game?

The interior of both defenses made it very difficult for either of them to run the ball. Justin Madubuike was the defensive MVP with five tackles, a sack, and two tackles for loss as his get off and hands enabled him to get penetration and redirect things. Kingsley Kekebulldozed the blocker across from him and played with consistent hands and pad level which enabled him to be a visible force. Daylon Mack got his hands up more often than not and was difficult to move versus the run. The offenses had to run a lot of screens and quick game to get the ball out for a while and make anything go.

Even so, the offensive lines gradually improved as the game went on. Some players still lack the ability to drive their feet and move laterally like they need to but they came off of the ball with their hands high and stayed with people. When combined with tiring defensive fronts, pass protection in the second half enabled both quarterbacks to get the ball down the field. Carson Green continues to be A&M’s best in pass pro and Grayson Reed was excellent in both the run game and pass pro. Reed comes off the ball, gets his hands on people, then either moves them or stalemates them. There wasn’t nearly as much penetration when he was in the game.

We talked yesterday about how tight end Jace Sternberger would be a factor because Nick Starkel would look for him if he had to check down and he was the offensive MVP. He’s a much better route runner than he was when he first got to A&M and has improved at using his steps to get a defender on his heels and then make the cut to get open. Not only that, he was a solid blocker on the edge.

When the offensive lines provided the quarterbacks a clean pocket, A&M’s wideouts were able to read coverages, stick their routes, and catch the ball. There were few drops today and problems in the passing game weren’t necessarily their fault. Jhamon Ausbon benefitted from coverage issues but is a much better wideout than he was at this time last year. Rogers really focused on bringing in the long pass that set up the winning touchdown despite going to ground and being well covered.

A&M’s secondary found itself playing a lot of man coverage today. For the most part, the corners were physical in the screen game and made it difficult for wideouts to do much outside. They covered well until they had too much ground to defend. They were good at reading routes and turning with people. The safeties were physical in run support, especially coming down on blitzes behind the backers.

A&M’s linebackers got a lot of protection today. That enabled Tyrel Dodson to lead A&M with seven unassisted tackles. In addition, both rovers, Ikenna Okeke and Buddy Johnson, were excellent off the edge and in space, especially given the amount of times they had a ball carrier one on one.

The running backs did what they could. Trayveon Williams is still A&M’s most explosive back and they were used extensively in the checkdown game. Williams also has improved his pass pro and steps up into defenders more than he used to cut down on their momentum.

Nick Starkel and Kellen Mond both made plays when they had protection. Both are better than they were last season, especially Mond who did a better job in the second half of setting his feet and finding people. However, Starkel is more consistent and better at going through his progressions.

Overall, this was a very good spring game that got better as it went on. Both teams competed and the crowd wound down but stayed into it. A&M has work to do and talent to add but this team is more physical and competitive than they were last season. That’s something for people to hold on to as the Aggies go into the off season and Fisher looks to overachieve in the win column and jump start recruiting.

That's Gabe Froman, the sausage king of College Station. 

The best sausage in College Station is imported from Turkey. Seriously, they fuck up sausage here, just like everything else. Bland, boring tubes of tasteless meat byproduct. It's like good taste is a disqualification from applying for certification as a food processing business here.

(Readfield's meats is actually halfway decent... but only halfway. I do have to be fair.)

Looking at his commitment thread all it is is a buncha' bitching about his ranking.

to that point: the offer list is long and includes the likes of UT, USC, ND, Bama-- places that use TEs and recruit top TEs. plus UGa, Penn St, Florida, LSU, Nebraska... I mean, that's a 4-star offer list.  to go with his height and weight which are same/similar to that of Austin Stogner and Grayson Boomer, commits to OU and oSu who are 4-stars.

Lol they only televised the first half of their spring game and switched over to the more important matchup of Georgia Kentucky baseball. But hey, secsecsec (network)

They were given 2 hours, tv time, to show the game.  Guess they could have gone with hurry up offense to get in under 2 hrs....but, well, aggy

Hmmm.  aggy with bestest conference, bestest facilities, bestest coach, and bestest situation, there's obviously NO reason for them to not ingrave that plaque for Jimbo.  No excuses, nada. I wonder if nick is shaking yet?  Silly delusional aggy.

What'll be funny is watching the clown Ed O beat the almighty Jimbo.

The best part of this current version of aggy overexuberance is that it is happening after a very mediocre looking team just played their Spring Game. They are so blinded by perceived recruiting wins over their despised bigger, better brother, that they will never see the losses coming in a few months. And they are also missing the fact that Jimbo-cuck has a track record of "committed" people dumping his ass for a better experience. Candi says hi.

Also for you CTJ types...

What's the deal on this kid? 3 star and #21 TE. Why is this a tragic loss? (Honest question)

He's underranked and is a stud. But it's been well known for awhile that he was all aggie, so this was expected. I think both he and Wiley are better prospects than Stogner, and we're probably landing Wiley, so shrugs.
