The Ags put up some impressive first half numbers on Senior night here, to finally snap the streak Mizzou held on them. It was great theatre all around for the nearly 90k in attendance including some dramatic plays, injuries, and field goals. Here's how it went:
Offense: TAMU has scored to open the game on their first drive so many times, I've lost count. They put their collective foot on the gas and never let up. It was really great to see CMike reach pay dirt early and often and fellow senior Ryan Swope was no stranger to the end zone either. #JFF commentary below.
Defense: Outstanding effort by the 1's and most of the 2's throughout the game. It took Mizzou nearly as long as it took LSU in the NCG to cross the 50. Containment on a backup QB is to be expected, but the pass rush bothered the kid and forced him to make throws down field in to the teeth of the Aggie D. Great job all around.
Special Teams: In dramatic fashion Taylor Bertolet was on the money all night. The ovations after every PAT could only be compared to those normally reserved for the TD's that come before it. There's really very little to complain about here and that's a good thing.
Overall: Reaching 10 wins was not the goal and Kingsbury said as much earlier last week. This group expects to win every time out. That's not arrogance IMO. What that is, is a coaching staff that either A. Reads Texags a lot, or B. Came here to take a so called "sleeping giant" to the top of the College Football world.
#JFF: From the comfort of my in law's living room we witnessed another Heisman style performance from the golden son from Kerrville Tivy. Breaking Cam's record was to be expected. What was not expected was that knee twist that caused Kyle to transform in to a Funeral Home for nearly 7 minutes. But alas, #2 rose again and continued to do what he does. Seriously guys, I could go on and on, but there's really no need to. The kid is quicker than a hiccup and honestly can not do anything else to prove he is the best player in College Football. Period. To the voters, I'll leave it with this: "Are you not entertained?"
Next up: Bowl game vs. ?
I really really really feel sorry for "?" btw.
Gig em.
