Let's break it down, eh?

crowd: Aggies
Quarterback: Aggies
RBs: push
Receivers: Aggies
O-Line: Ags, with Munoz out
D-Line: Ags
LBS: Vols
DBs: Push
Intangibles: Ags

Probably the Ags.

perfect example of your ignorance.
Although I could probably pick this apart I won't. But if you knew anything about UT this year or at all, you'd know that Munoz has been hurt a lot and is generally looked at as being overrated and not one of our best OL. You really have no clue. Judging by your post A&M should be in the Orange Bowl. :bs:

Hey Lang, that's just his opinion man. Every fan has an idea about his team and in this case we really don't know anything about your team as you don't about ours. If your opinion differs then offer it in the same format he gave his instead of complaining and throwing out insults. By the way here are my OPINIONS about our teams in that same format.

QB's - A&M
RB's - Vols
Receivers - A&M (mainly b/c we use them in our offense alot and they produce)
O-line - Vols
D-line - push (we are young but good and ya'll are stout)
LB's - Vols
DB's - push

It will be a close game in my opinion. I am thinking somewhere along the lines of 31-24 type game. If you can run on us like t.u. did (they are the only team to run on us that well this year) then it could be around 24-21. If you don't though it should go good for us.

If this is really true, then there may be 70+ points in this game. I feel for anybody that is going through the same pass coverage issues as us.

QB's - A&M
RB's - Vols
Receivers - push
O-line - Vols
D-line - vols
LB's - Vols
DB's - A&M(we have a great tackler in Allen but we need him helping out against the long ball better)

Just My humble opninion... my biggest concern is UT being mentally prepared our last two post season outings we were not.

It'll be interesting to see what happens after we've had 4 weeks to get healthy. This could potentially be the first time since the 2nd or 3rd game of the season that we are close to full strength.

The injury bug hit us this year somewhat. Maybe not as bad as last year or as bad as in previous years but we did have a couple of key injuries to our LB's this year. We have a guy Keelan Jackson that we spun down from safety for his senior year that was playing lights out this year until the K-State game and he hurt his knee and was out until limited action against Texas. The guy would have definitely gone pro had he not gotten injured and our LB corp is already thin this whole year so he was a loss. When he was playing everydown we were avg. around 4 sacks a game so our secondary wasn't left out to hang b/c we could put pressure on the QB. Once he went down we had to back off our pressure and that is when we got somewhat "exposed" in our secondary.

With Keelan being back at full strength by the Cotton Bowl our secondary may not seem as bad. They are talented but we have anywhere from 2-3 freshman in our secondary at a time so that is why they are suspect at times. With added pressure up front we might be able to force your QB into some bad decisions w/o leaving our secondary out to dry for too long.

that's my concern also....I think A&M is a pretty good team but it's the mental focus that i'm worrried about!

Clausen may not be as flashy as the 2 freshmen we had but he has gotten better each game and if not for 6 dropped passes (5 that should have been caught , no excuse) he would have had a decent stats game against Au , the boy is alot better QB than most (including me) gave him credit for.

There is no doubt in my mind that we are a much more talented team than the aggies. The concern I have is with our attitude and if we will focus on this team. They are a pretty good football team and the Cotton Bowl means a lot more to an old SWC team than a SEC team. If all is equal we should beat them pretty good (10 or more). But you can bet they will be fired up. My friends who went to TAMU started calling me soon as the bowl was announced. There is so much that can happen between now and then but we should win this game.

VolBeef I respect your opinion on how you should win this game. However, I do want to remind you that we are a good team. You Volunteer fans have to remember that we have 4 losses, with 3 of them to teams that are 2,4,6 in the BCS standings. All 3 of those teams are playing in BCS bowls. I am not by any means trying to say Tennessee is not as good as we are so don't get that impression, but our 7-4 record is not really an indication on how good we are. The Baylor loss was weird. I mean after you have an 18 game winning streak it has to end at some point. That happened this year b/c we had something to play for against OU and we looked ahead. No excuses, but we lost to them. Anyway, the other 3 games are easy to explain.

OU - playing for National Title, reasons are obvious we lost but we did have a chance to tie the game up at the end of regulation.

t.u. - Lost by 13, and I think it was too big of a game for us after we had had 3 overtime games in our previous 4 including the OU game were it was extremely draining both physically and emotionally.

Utah - First game of the season on National TV to a BCS team where we started 5 freshman, and had 18 freshman on the roster in what most Utah fans considered their biggest game ever. Utah is a good team no matter what people say. Our freshman were not ready.

We are a good team, please be aware of that. Just as you expect to win this game so do most Aggies. If we weren't in by far the toughest division in College Football, Big 12 South, we could probably have a better record. Take the Big 12 North for example, we would easily be 9-2 or 10-1 up there.

I didn't insult him, I was pointing out that he claims to know about PF and the vols (check other threads) and it is obvious that he has no idea.

With that out of the way, my honest opinion is that UT is a better team, however we play horrible in bowl games, especially after a draining loss in the SECCG. Reggie McNeil reminds me of James Bankswhen he played QB here for a while, keeping in mind that I have only watched the Aggies play a few times this year.

we know that feeling we let Memphis sneak up on us a few years back and OMG look at what we almost let happen with Vandy and KY..... I take exception to the toughest division, with TN GA FL and even SC in the SEC east (these make up for VANDY and KY) the SEC east is the toughest with SEC west a close SEcond

No problem there Lang. I will say this about Reggie. Every team we have played this year, going into the game everyone seemed to say the same things,

"We can stop him he's not that good"
"He's a scrambler not a passer"
"He really isn't that elusive"

etc. etc. etc.

After the every single game those quotes turned into,

"He is by far Big 12 1st Team along with Jason White"
"That guy can sit in the pocket and throw to any of his receivers"
"WOW!!"

Anyway the point I am trying to make is that Reggie would be ridculed then praised after every game we played. The guy is good and if it wasn't for Jason White (A Heisman candidate) Reggie would be 1st Team All Big 12 instead of 2nd Team. He can pass for 250 yards and run for another 100 easily. He has been suspect a few times this year but in the end he is still a very dangerous QB. He will defintely be a challenge for your defense to stop.

The SEC East and Big 12 South is very comparable. Big 12 South has 2 teams in BCS and 5/6 in the top 25. I don't know about that comparison in the SEC East but either way they are both very comparable I would think. FL and GA are always good I know.

At least this season, record-wise, the Big XII South is slightly better than the SEC EAST this season. However, the SEC as a whole is a bit more top heavy than the Big XII with 4 teams with 9 wins or more. Unfortunately, the only game involving teams from the SEC & BigXII this season was Texas (10-1) at Arkansas (5-6).... which Texas won 22-20.

BIG XII
Oklahoma 12-0
Colorado 7-5
Texas 10-1
Texas A&M 7-4
Texas Tech 7-4
Oklahoma State 7-4
Iowa State 6-5
Missouri 5-6
Nebraska 5-6
Kansas 4-7
Kansas State 4-7
Baylor 3-8

SEC
Auburn 13-0
Tennessee 9-3
Georgia 9-2
LSU 9-2
Florida 7-4
South Carolina 6-5
Alabama 6-5
Arkansas 5-6
Mississippi 4-7
Miss State 3-8
Kentucky 2-9
Vanderbilt 2-9

It's interesting reading this thread... we both think we have smokin' recievers, and I think from the number's we're both right... both have 9 guys with 100+ yards, plus others just below that... I think a major difference in the Ags have had McNeal all year, and we've been playing with Rick for the last three games. It'll be interesting to see how these recievers do against both of our poor secondaries. WOW.
