'Canes beat Texas Aggies 42-23

For all the Aggies out there... please please play this video.


Thoughts:

Crowd: Kudos to the students for coming and filling up their side. Miami fans made a great decision to leave in the fourth and head to the Chicken. Guarantees a table!

Goodson: He's electric in space, and believe it or not, the coaching staff did a great job getting the ball in his hands in space. And he protected the ball and made things happen. Great game on his part.

T. McCoy: First time he's really contributed and showed good hands and JJ really trusted him.

Fuller: Despite looking like he's 40 and a man....He could go down as the best in history of Texas A&M. I really hope he's ok.

This team does not quit. I love that. Shows that they have believe in what they're doing and what the coaching staff is doing.

JJ: Made some first time starting QB mistakes. He was much more accurate than I thought he was, which is very positive. He's very elusive back there, and I hate to say it, but he needs to start the rest of the year.

Very creative play calling. The first play of the game was very well designed. The putting 3 RB's in the game and no QB is VERY interesting. I'd like to see how that progresses throughout the year. It's interesting what they'll do with really no experienced good receivers and a surplus of backs.

Lane: Didn't have a carry. He had a horrible play where he went through the line and didn't even block 1 person. He looked better at other times. Laugh out loud moment when the announcers were talking about his weight. They said that he had a neck injury, and was hurt and gained all the weight he had lost back because he couldn't work out. So he gained 15 pounds because he couldn't work out for 2 weeks????

President of Texas A&M: Please don't say we're number 1. Is there anything in the world that Texas A&M is number 1 at?

2 turnovers really made the difference.

I'm really not going to get into the negatives, but..... that defense is shades of Torbush. Wow.

This game was definitely not lost with the coaching. Several times they were in position to succeed, and the players didn't execute.

Replay: Nothing over-turned. Reply needs to be instantaneous. If it's going to be over turned, over turn it. If it's not, don't stop the game.

Yes, that was a crappy loss be a lopsided score. However, If you really look at how they came around throughout the game, didn't quit, it bodes well for a team that will get better as the season progresses. I would not be shocked to see these boys hitting on all cylinders by the end of the season and have a chance to win a lower tier bowl games.
