This is why aggy is always certain their backups are better than their starters. Everyone is all-world before the season, but only the ones that play get to underperform expectations.

Beyond that, it's not even believable. How can two sides of the ball both look incredible if they're playing each other? 

If the Texas reports from Fall camp said the OL and DL both looked incredible I would call bullshit. Anybody with a brain would know that our 2s (Sweat, Collins, Jones) would probably give our 2s on the OL a bunch of problems. Our sites drink the kool-aid sometimes but it's never this insane.

My favorite thing is that both the offense and defense were all world! There were giants seams on offense and wide open lanes for the running backs, but also the defense didnt give up a yard! Pretty cool how they can both be perfect while competing against each other

fantastic thread on aggy2247 :: Can we get to 36 PPG in 2020? (Stats included)  ::

some highlights ::

First the premise -

  Quote

"These stats are for all games, not just SEC The offense noticeably took a step back in points per game from 2018 to 2019 (36.0 to 29.5), net rushing per game (224.4 to 159.2), passing per game (252.6 to 235.4) and passing yards per attempt (7.4 to 6.8). We did that in a year (2019) where we had highly experienced WRs, but who weren’t gamebreakers...1 functioning RB (Cordarrian had issues, Vernon retired, Corbin hurt, the rest left)...1 TE (Cupp hurt, Beal hurt most of the year)...and no backup QB (Calazada was a true frosh). Oh and our 3 best skill position threats were all true freshmen. I want to see us get to 240 yards rushing per game including more jet sweeps, more QB runs and more zone read/option." 

Expand  
  Quote

"also, I don't think you can look at the stats like that bc those stats included several crappy non conference opponents. We should be looking only at stats in SEC play."

Expand  
  Quote

"Avg points scored in SEC regulation:
2016 - 30.25
2017 - 24.75
2018 - 24.125
2019 - 25.25"

Thank you. Interesting. Yes the LSU game threw off the 36 ppg I posted earlier. Good point. The garbage time touchdowns vs Auburn and LSU helped us in 2019

A Mond-led offense has scored more than 7 points in the 1st quarter just one time, MS State '19. (Arkansas '18 had 7 from a Corbin kickoff return.)

Lol, lots of weakness on the roster.  No returning WR to speak of, no TE depth, OL was crap last year and it's hard to see much improvement, a largely unknown CB group, and mostly just Mond.  I'm not on TA, but as far as I can tell, Luicci has been way over the top.  Tarp is even really optimistic, which is strange.

You guys love to rag on the coaching, which is fine.  I think my only real concerns/complaints are that (1) due to Jimbo's stubbornness, we're running an archaic offense and (2) the OL can't get the job done, and with the scheme, they may never be able to.

Just pointing out that Bailout Billy can't have it both ways. Either he needs to admit the roster isn't what he says it is, or that Jimbo doesn't walk on water.  Your take is reasonable. The bearded cock gobbler's isn't.

Bailout Billy knows this team and Jimbo have many built in excuses for "wait until next year".  He will ultimately blame their bed shitting on Covid, opt outs, injuries, woke Sully marchers, Sips, BOMC, Hurricane Laura, Kevin Sumlin and small crowds at Pyle field.   Meanwhile Billy will count his free federal bag money stored away in John Sharp's basement.

I hope Vandy hangs tight with them for 3 quarters.  4-6 is my prediction.  Losses:  Auburn, LSU, Alabama, Tennessee, Miss State and Ole Miss.  The aggy pitchfork  "furk" is going to happen when Leach and Joey beat them this year with inferior, but wide open offensive teams.  Tennessee bought enough playmakers to beat aggy and the other four losses are given.

I can actually see this happening.  Same shitty OL, Mond, and no experienced WR's going against a defense returning every starter, many multi-year starters.  But make no mistake, Vandy offense is on UTEP level bad.

Let’s not be too homer about this. They won’t be that bad and will compete for the mid to top tier of the SEC. This 4-6 talk is just pure surly. They have mond and some talent coming in on defense, yes the OL will struggle but they will be in some games. Will get smashed by the big boys of course but should beat the Mississippi teams. 
 

who the hell am I kidding. They are going to struggle against the spread offenses and Mond cannot carry them because he’s just not that good. I’m almost hoping 5-5 so we can watch their spin on going .500 but then again them losing another game and being under .500 would be even better. Keep getting these 4 stars out of the northeast that “everyone wanted” and see how it goes. I do apologize for what I said above but thought this page could use some sarcasm. Just want some Aggy tears for breakfast every Sunday.

Their offense could be frighteningly bad. Unless one of the total unknowns steps up, it's basically the Ainias Smith Show until some DL finally gets a clean shot and decapitates the poor lil fella.

EDIT: oh yeah Wydermeyer's there too. So that's nice.

History says they win around 5.5 of every 10 sec games. So the question is will it be 5-5 or 6-4?  The two miss schools going to wide open passing offenses draws me toward 5-5, provided they can get the offense working with the talent they have this season in the limited timeframe.

aggy taking the NCAA dead period extension as an "oh fuck we need to TURBOCHEAT" because of course they are. Also "coronabro" continues to be the dumbest fucking made up piece of nonsense I've ever heard.

Tarp coming in with the "you guys remember we're on probation, right?" is pretty great.

I think you mistake humor and irony for bagging on coaches.  We bag on our coaches,  (check the football board) we want them fired before they ever coach a game.  We are not fans of cutting grossly overpaid coaches much slack.  

But you guys have a special circumstance close to our heart, we know what it looks like when a coach wins a MNC and becomes fat, lazy and stubborn while his recruiting takes a massive dive in a few key areas.   
 

Imagine someone offering Mack $75M after he fucked over recruiting and basically got cut loose, who would be so foolish?   lol aggy.

IMO, Jimbo's recruiting game was great until this year (I can't speak to how he did at Florida State after his natty, but I doubt it was ever lower than top 10).  Yes, there were some questionable takes and the 2018 class is essentially a non-factor.  But this year, something is weird-- not sure if it's the recruiting violations, getting complacent or something else, but I'm just not seeing this class stack up like the last ones.

Expand  

I'll go a step further. I think Mond is a good QB that could have developed into a really good QB. He's just trapped in a system that doesn't fit his skillset and with a contrarian coach who continues to recruit dual threat QBs and then try to force them to never use their legs. Not in the run game. Not in the passing game -- he keeps trying to recreate the Winston season but keeps the QBs from doing any of the Winston things. I think Mond would've absolutely killed it at K-State. If he was playing for Mahlzahn, Mullens, or Holgo he would look like a completely different QB. Just about every knock on Mond comes directly from Fisher himself or his system.

This. aggy has been selling the SEC to recruits more than themselves, and that's opened the door for the programs that actually contend in the SEC to swoop in and make their pitch. 

So basically they've been selling their opponents to the players they recruit, and now those chickens have come home to roost. If you're good enough to have an offer from LSU or Alabama then why even consider aggy?

His classes are highly ranked. He always lands a few studs. But he inexplicably ignores  positions. Like CB. And OT. Which seems not smart and might come back to bite y'all in the ass this year and next year.

Also, can you explain the narrative that our OL sucks? Or that the Aggie OL is vastly superior? You have no tackles on your roster. That's not good.

There is exactly one out that aggy has to drop Jimbo and that contract, and it's firing with cause. Now, certainly some bags have been dropped in recent memory, but continually hammering the EC tells me that your coaches connections are being leaned on to avoid violations and without the benefit of the bag, the results are lackluster.

I think I may have already discussed it 50 pages ago on this thread, but IMO, neither of our OLs are worth much.  Yes, you have Cosmi.  Yes, we're hopeful K. Green plays like a 5 star.  But at the present, I haven't seen anything from either team that screams dominant OL.  We do think your commits get late bumps in the rankings, which may or may not be justified.  But I don't really care about rankings as long as the guy can play.

Correct on OT and CB depth being light.  Not sure how Jimbo allowed that to happen.  I'd have been looking around at JUCOs for both spots.

Expand  

I think a few different things are at play that make it feel different. 

first, the OOS impact has taken a toll in the form of in-state kids having far less interest - esp those middle-tier players and clearly on defense. The in-state kids simply don't have friends or teammates on the roster so there's not a lot of guys waiting to pounce on that offer. the number of OOS offers to guys that seem less talented than kids in-state that don't have offers has exacerbated this feeling among recruits, so instead of filling out the aggy class or waiting for the aggy offer they are going to SMU, OkState, Baylor, etc ... 

Fisher is relying on Coach Ish, Craig, and Elijah completely. Robinson is a bad recruiter, replacing Graham with Robinson was a loss. Graham wasn't great but he was a million miles better than Robinson. Darrell Dickey has no impact on on the trail and since Fisher won't adjust his offense, he's an absolute waste of a coaching spot. That's no different from before but if he's going to waste a spread consulting spot on someone it might as well be a young gun that also recruits. Santucci got his guy in Seegers and then what? He should be mentioned by every defensive recruit with a pulse, but it's just Ish and Elijah over and over. 

In adding Coley you were supposed to replace Brewster and he was supposed to bring a South Florida influx. Coley hasn't cracked that egg while in College Station and recruiting South Florida, even at the best of times, is always going to be chaotic. Keeping those kids for 4 years is always incredibly difficult, even for schools like FSU, Miami, and UF.

I think the portal would've been an even better alternative, but you had no counters. Roster mgmt issues at FSU caused some serious roster holes in Fisher's last 3 seasons in Tallahassee. He should be saving 2-3 counters a year for transfer portal guys and/or JUCOs instead of taking guys like RJ Orebo and Jordan Jefferson. He has shown a complete lack of attention to acquiring via the portal and has filled each class on counters, including counting forward for Phillips and Crownover.

So we have a proven commodity at left tackle. And you have one you hope will be good at a position for which he's not a natural fit. And that makes them equal? Look, I agree that our OL isn't exactly a strength. The difference between "kinda shitty" and "pretty good" is gonna depend on one of our  young tackles getting some experience and playing to their potential at RT  - exactly what y'all are hoping happens with K Green at LT. I guess we'll see. 

 

Re: stat bumps - that's bullshit. I didn't see y'all bitching about Jaylon Jones going up nearly 60 spots after he committed to y'all. Or Antonio Johnson going from 185 to 47 on 247's last ranking. Or Antonio Doyle going up 27 spots in the final 247 ranking. Those were all just good evals, right?

Oh wait, those were legitimate, those were not rigged.
