I know everyone is shitting on A&M, but I'd just like to say as a visiting Irish fan I've never met a more hospitable fan base. On my way to the game, my car broke down and several good ags gave me a ride and fed me a home cooked meal before directing me to the gate. After the game, I made sure to visit the Aggy dog graveyard to pay my respects. I hope to visit for another game soon.

And after the game those same ags tracked you down in the parking lot to give you a ride back to your car where not only had it been repaired, but it was washed and waxed too. But not until after a stop at the Dicksy Chicken to ply you with some beers and talk containing veiled homoerotic undertones.

Their expectations are totally out of whack as usual. The idea that Elko was some kind of mercenary that can send them to contention in year 1 is insane. They were gutted by transfers and the ones that stayed behind are unimpressive. Elko is a good defensive coach but it will take him 2-3 years to rebuild.

So using your logic UH should be the #1 spot for those recruits, and SMU/TCU for DFW. A&M has no issue recruiting talent; it has an issue with coaching them.

Well this was not really about aggy recruiting the Houston area, but more about what enticement to B/CS offer to potential nbue blood ooc opponents when in the area for an away game. Ala one of the reasons why Texas plays Rice in Houston regularly.

Whatever, not really one of my stronger points anyway.

Lots of my LSU pals said the same kinda stuff when they joined the SEC.  Then they got the full meal deal aggy experience over the course of a few seasons and now they, to a man, all say, "Wow, you were right about them.  Fucking weirdo creeps..." or something along those lines.  I tried to warn them.

Even though he didn’t make a preseason all-SEC team, Texas A&M football signal caller Conner Weigman still has some hype building around him in this preseason. #15 has been the talk of the town since he rolled into College Station, and he quickly showed that he had the bonafides to back up the hype.

Unfortunately, as Aggie fans know all too well, his has so far been a career marred by a malign mix of overly-complex offensive scheme and one unfortunate injury that heavily reduced the potential playing time he could have had up until this point. Weigman is looking, therefore, to not only lift the Aggies to new heights this year, but to really put the country on notice with his play—a level that those who have been watching closely have no doubt that he has.

As a vote of confidence, then, it makes sense that he was named to the Maxwell Award watchlist. The Maxwell award is presented annually to the best player, regardless of position, and so receiving it is a high honor.

Could Weigman be the top player in college football this year? With this system and his talent, it’s not an impossibility. When you’re having such a discussion, though, the odds will always be astronomically long—just as a simple matter of probability.

When you look at the informal prerequisites for such a status, though, it certainly seems that Weigman meets them. He has the pedigree. He certainly has the talent. He plays at a big time program against the top competition in the nation. And now the system around him looks better positioned than ever to capitalize on his strengths.

All I’m saying is… don’t wait to buy in.

With only two days remaining until gameday is finally here, Texas A&M football fans are more anxious than ever for kickoff. Having such a consequential contest as the first of the year only increases the nerves beforehand, as you might expect.

This promises to be one of the most entertaining games of the entire weekend, if not the entire year. Two squads both projected to be high-quality will be going at it in one of the most exciting venues in the sport. This kind of game is what college football is all about.

This Aggie team, specifically, is looking for retribution after two years of middling play. Under Elko, I think they can achieve that—and it starts Saturday. Here are five bold predictions for what we will see in Texas A&M football vs. Notre Dame.

Five bold predictions for Texas A&M football vs. Notre Dame: Irish finish under 100 yards rushing
The Aggie defensive line is a unit that has been well-known over the last few years for being absolutely packed with talent. They haven't always been able to properly leverage that talent, of course—their rush defense, in particular, was extremely subpar in 2022.

ADVERTISING

However, with Elko back in town, the Aggies look to once again have a top rushing defense. Every year that the new Aggie head man was the DC in College Station, the Ags were technically sound and tough to run on. Now, with even more skill in that unit than he had previously, Elko will no doubt lead another top unit against the run.

With as green of an offensive line as Notre Dame is bringing into this game, and the skill of the Aggie front, it could be tough sledding for the Domers up front. I feel confident these Ags can hold Notre Dame under 100 yards rushing, absent a big play in garbage time.

Quote

Five bold predictions for Texas A&M football vs. Notre Dame: Terry Bussey scores a touchdown
For all the buzz around freshman Terry Bussey, the Aggies—in an official capacity—have been somewhat mum about how he may or may not contribute. I think we can safely label this “gamesmanship,” as a player with this level of explosive ability cannot be left on the sidelines, especially when you consider the need for that kind of juice at the receiver position.

ADVERTISING

I don’t know for sure what kind of snaps Bussey will see at the receiver spot, but it seems likely that he will get the ball in his hands at least to some degree as a punt returner. The only official depth chart that we yet have lists him as a first-teamer at that spot, and with a defensive battle like we are anticipating, that means he will have plenty of opportunity to return some kicks.

That said, I think we still see Bussey play some at wideout. Whether he’s out there running routes with Thomas, Walker, and Allen, or he comes in just to get a pop pass on a sweep play, I think we see Klein get a way to get the ball in his hands.

When he gets an opportunity, I foresee him taking advantage in a big way. Whether it’s in the return game or as a receiver, I think we see Terry Bussey snag his first collegiate touchdown against the Irish; the first of doubtless many to come.

Also, 1 carry for ZERO yards.

Quote

Five bold predictions for Texas A&M football vs. Notre Dame: Aggies pick off Leonard twice
Statistically, this is one of the more unlikely predictions in this column. For his career, despite his overall inaccuracy (he hovers right around 60% completion), Leonard only throws an interception every 61 pass attempts or so (Weigman, for comparison, has thrown two interceptions in about 250 career pass attempts).

I also anticipate Mike Denbrock to scheme up some quick-hitters early on for Leonard. Throughout the course of the game, there may be a couple of downfield shots, just to make the defense respect it—but the dropback passing game is not Leonard’s strength, so I expect that the Irish OC won’t rely on it overly.

The reason I’m predicting this has to do with two factors, mainly: first, I think—despite him playing it down at his presser—there is a distinct advantage that Elko has here. He knows Leonard well, the kinds of looks that he likes, etc. Because of that, I think he can effectively run some coverages that will confuse the Irish’s new QB, sneaking a safety over when Leonard is not expecting (for example).

The second reason has to do with the pressure that will be in Leonard’s face all night. Scourton, Stewart, Turner, and Hicks are going to absolutely feast up front when the quarterback drops back. No. 11, especially, will be in the backfield regularly. So whether it’s due to a rushed pass, a tipped pass, or being rattled overall, I think we see Leonard make a couple of mistakes that an underrated Aggie secondary can take advantage of.

Quote

Five bold predictions for Texas A&M football vs. Notre Dame: Weigman finishes with no interceptions
Conversely, this is one of the more likely predictions here. Weigman has only thrown 2 interceptions in his entire college career, as I just mentioned—both came against Miami, and neither were really his fault. 

The first was right on target to a crossing Ainias Smith, but Smith slipped right after Weigman released the pass—leading to a Miami DB, who would have otherwise been behind the receiver, being in the right place at the right time. The second was a fourth down desperation throw at the end of the Miami game when there was no other play to be made.

Point being, though he’s an absolute gunslinger out there, Weigman doesn’t really put the ball in danger. With a line as disruptive as Notre Dame’s, of course, there’s always the chance of a pass getting tipped, but pressure in general has not bothered Weigman in his career.

Even though I think the Domers will have a solid pass rush in this one, Conner is one of the best in the nation at avoiding sacks. Whether or not the pocket is clean, no. 15 has shown the ability to make smart decisions time and time again—and even against an elite secondary like Notre Dame, I think he will continue that record.

Quote

Five bold predictions for Texas A&M football vs. Notre Dame: Aggies notch three-plus sacks
Have I mentioned how young Notre Dame’s offensive line is? No? Well, they’re bringing in a very young offensive line.

The fact is this: the Irish will have an offensive line made up of guys with a total of six collegiate starts under their belt. I get that Anthonie Knapp is a high-level recruit, but inexperience—especially at offensive line—is a really big deal. It is especially so when you are facing off against a defensive line like this one.

Honestly, in my mind, the biggest question as regards this prediction is how elusive Leonard can be once the pass rush beats the offensive line. If he is consistently escaping the pocket, then three-plus sacks goes out the window quickly. However, if the Ags keep rush lane integrity, it’s going to be tough sledding for him.

On that note, I suppose Elko could approach this a little bit differently, given the QB he’s dealing with. If the Aggies, rather than trying to get free rushers into the backfield down in and down out, choose to simply squeeze the pocket to keep Leonard from scrambling, that could also end up affecting the sack numbers. That very well may be the strategy he goes with.

In any case, this is the biggest mismatch in the game, in my book. That’s why I’m shooting for this lofty number—even if it doesn’t show up exactly like this on the stat sheet, though, I think the pass rush is still a significant factor.
