[AussieAggie]

GOOD MORNING its 5 am BTHO tech:D

[Slotback]

Final tv timeout before kickoff.

[Slotback]

GOOD MORNING its 5 am BTHO tech:D

You are hardcore.

[Vlyrock]

Another key to the game...slow Tech down in the first half. Halftime adjustments are good for us - but we can't fall behind early.

[GuatemalanAg]

BTHO Tech!!! :flag:
DirecTV is showing EMU @ Ohio :sad:

[Slotback]

Ags to kickoff. Wearing all white.

[Slotback]

Holy cow a delay of game already.

[GuatemalanAg]

[Slotback]

2 runs back to back. Surprising.

[Slotback]

A lot of runs on that first series by TT. Very surprising.

[Loftin]

TTU forgot how to pass.

[Vlyrock]

Great 1st defensive series. Let Tech try and run all day. I can handle that. :gig:

[AustinAggie]

Man what is up with the run. Didn't expect that. Let's go Aggies.

[GuatemalanAg]

Smack the crap outta Harrell!!!

[zapcity]

[Slotback]

Damn penalty.....Lane bulls ahead for a couple

[Superaggie79]

we shoulda had Robert Earl do our line ups

[AustinAggie]

1st Down, Kill that clock boys.

[Slotback]

McGee scrambles ahead for a first down.

[GuatemalanAg]

1st down ags??? :huh:

[Superaggie79]

Holy crap that was a great run that almost went all the way!

[Slotback]

Great run by Goodson. One more break and he was gone. Great blocking.

[AustinAggie]

Damn Goodson that will make the highlight film

[AussieAggie]

great run

[Slotback]

No surprise with our strategy. It plays to our strengths.

[GuatemalanAg]

I love the I formation :gig:

[Superaggie79]

I think we might rush for 400+ yds this game

[Superaggie79]

Lane is backing up his words. He's coming out strong.

[Slotback]

Lane powers up the middle to the 9. First and goal Ags.

[GuatemalanAg]

Pound the ball!!! POWER FOOTBALL!!! :flag:

[Superaggie79]

Alexander!

[AussieAggie]

yeah baby this is comin all day

[Slotback]

Chris Alexander pounds it to the 4. Everyone keyed on Jorvorski.

[Superaggie79]

Pump those legs Lane

[AustinAggie]

Are we trying to score in the first quarter? Nice second effort J-Train.

[Slotback]

J Train fights to the 1. 1st and goal.

[GuatemalanAg]

Punch it in!!!

[Superaggie79]

Chris Alexander pounds it to the 4. Everyone keyed on Jorvorski.
Jorvorski wasn't in

[Slotback]

J Train with the one yard plunge. Touchdown Aggies.

[AustinAggie]

Choo CHooooooooo TOUCH DOWN!!!!!!!!!!

[Superaggie79]

TD pure and absolute strength!

[Vlyrock]

TD Lane.... :towel:

[GuatemalanAg]

Whoop!!!

[Slotback]

Symanski PAT. 7-0 Ags.

[Vlyrock]

Man, total domination by our line and running game. We've turned the tables on them...let's get another quick punt while they're going against the wind and get up by more! :gig:

[AustinAggie]

Man this is the team I wanted to see all year long.

[GuatemalanAg]

Dang!!! I missed the TD...freaking Gameplan sucks @ss :mad:

[Vlyrock]

Goodson looked good too and almost broke a spectacular run. Gotta love the fight in the Ags early. That should pump up the defense.

[AussieAggie]

:gig: :flag: :flag: that was worth waking up for. keep it going guys

[Slotback]

This look likes a team that is totally focused.

[AustinAggie]

Man, total domination by our line and running game. We've turned the tables on them...let's get another quick punt while they're going against the wind and get up by more! :gig:

Agreed! One more time D.

[Superaggie79]

I bet they'll come back and try to throw. We just need to keep them in front of us and wait for them to make a mistake. No big plays

[Slotback]

Next possession I would not mind seeing a little play action and try to hit them deep.

[AustinAggie]

Let's just keep killing that clock. I think we'll see some passing this series.

[WesTxAg]

"do your job" "do your job"

[GuatemalanAg]

I've got picture :gig:

[Superaggie79]

I'd also like to see us go PA next time and try a quick score so they have to stay against the wind.... and a great special teams play by shankle!

[Slotback]

Excellent kickoff coverage. 1st and 10 at the 10.

[CoolaidWade]

Awesome drive!

Although I hope they keep the Corp shots to a minimum. :wow:

[Superaggie79]

Awesome drive!

Although I hope they keep the Corp shots to a minimum. :wow:
agreed

[zapcity]

:mad: :bs: :bs: game not on tv here:bs: :bs: :mad:

[Slotback]

Rats. TT out to the 31.

[GuatemalanAg]

Tech is trying to establish the run :huh:

[AustinAggie]

:mad: :bs: :bs: game not on tv here:bs: :bs: :mad:

Sorry!

[CoolaidWade]

Interesting gameplan by Tech, eh.

[Superaggie79]

Pugh almost had a gimme

[AustinAggie]

hold them Ags

[GuatemalanAg]

2 yds short...

[AustinAggie]

Will they go for it?

[Superaggie79]

Another forced punt.... great job I'm liking this secondary movement before the snap.

[GuatemalanAg]

JP got hit in the mouth!!!

[Superaggie79]

Just more yardage for us to eat up.

[Slotback]

Defense holds. But a great punt by TT.

[Vlyrock]

did somebody order a 94 yd TD drive? Coming up!

[AustinAggie]

What was up with that Hit? That's Bull.

[Superaggie79]

Peterson took a shot. Even if that's over his head can you hit him if he's looking up at the ball?

[Vlyrock]

Tech is satisfied playing us for 2 quarters. They're playing conservative and running the clock in the 1st and 3rd quarters. 2nd and 4th quarter is where we'll see the REAL Tech. Gotta keep scoring Ags.

[AustinAggie]

Nice to see my company Advertising.

[CoolaidWade]

It's unnerving that Tech is pretty much throwing away the gameplan they have been doing for years...... Running plays? Two punts?

If we score on this drive they open it up big time.

[Slotback]

Lets march it back down the field again.

[AustinAggie]

did somebody order a 94 yd TD drive? Coming up!

Exactly!

[CoolaidWade]

I need a Q-tip.

[GuatemalanAg]

Pound it!!! :towel:

[Slotback]

J Train bulling his way out to the 12

[Superaggie79]

McGee 1 for 1 to benett

[Slotback]

Pass to Tellus. He could not have been more wide open.

[GuatemalanAg]

Sweet play to Tellus :gig:

[Slotback]

McGee to the 39.

[Superaggie79]

I like the play action roll out.

[CoolaidWade]

I thought that was 6! :wow:

[AustinAggie]

Good Run McGee. Nice not taking the hit but let's kill that clock.

[GuatemalanAg]

eat the clock!!!

[Slotback]

Pass to Lane, first down.

[Superaggie79]

Lane punishes the defender

[GuatemalanAg]

:gig:

[CoolaidWade]

I'm kind of digging our scheme here.... :wow:

[Slotback]

Goodson on the option for 8

[Superaggie79]

Goodson 9 more yards

[GuatemalanAg]

Thunder and Lightning y'all!!! :flag:

[AustinAggie]

Looking at this knee, not good.

[Vlyrock]

the playaction will work all day if the run keeps doing what it's doing. Perfect simple gameplan so far. Let's cap it off with a TD baby!

[Vlyrock]

Looking at this knee, not good.
He was re-adjusting his knee pads...he's okay.

[AustinAggie]

Let's hope Yoder is okay.

[Superaggie79]

When we run our offense is unstoppable.

[Superaggie79]

He was re-adjusting his knee pads...he's okay.
He was checking his patella under the pad.

[AustinAggie]

He was re-adjusting his knee pads...he's okay.

Hope so, we are looking good. I am interested to see if you will be right about the 2nd and 4th quarters.

[ekesqueaky]

Yikes, hold on to the ball!

[Superaggie79]

Way to go Roger

[GuatemalanAg]

nice reverse!!! Holland almost made me have a heartattack!!!

[Slotback]

Reverse to Holland. Followed by a Goodson run. I don't like the "cuteness". Pound them!

[Superaggie79]

I was just wishing that olineman would get down the field and block for him.

[GuatemalanAg]

over throw...

[Superaggie79]

damn mcgee don't run him into the wall

[Slotback]

Damn sure pound them here.

[Slotback]

I think we needed to run on 3rd down.

[Superaggie79]

Man I don't know if that guy broke on the ball but that was almost bad.

[GuatemalanAg]

we should've ran it some more

[ekesqueaky]

dang it...

[Superaggie79]

Szymanski pulled it :sad:

[GuatemalanAg]

missed FG....momentum shifter :sad:

[Vlyrock]

damn...huge blown opportunity there. we had the wind, so FG was right call...

[Slotback]

Blown opportunity.

[Superaggie79]

we should've ran it some more
we were trying to force them to run another series against the wind.

[GuatemalanAg]

C'mon D :towel:

[AussieAggie]

damn. hold em again D

[GuatemalanAg]

another flag

[Superaggie79]

at least we're getting some pressure

[GuatemalanAg]

:gig:

[GuatemalanAg]

I wanna see somebody smack Harrell :towel:

[Superaggie79]

you know I would like to see Lewis or Featherston come in to rush on obvious passing downs from the DE position.

[AustinAggie]

End of the Q

[Superaggie79]

Wind change

[Vlyrock]

well, we won the 1st quarter. 3 more to go!

[Slotback]

End of quarter. 7-0 Ags.

[GuatemalanAg]

1st quarter over...so far so good :flag:

[ekesqueaky]

Hullabaloo Caneck Caneck!

[Vlyrock]

Get ready for a lot more deep balls. Hope Darnell and co. are ready. Let's force another punt.

[Slotback]

Harrell is really good about being able to dump the ball off with someone hauling him down.

[Slotback]

We need an INT.

[Mezentius]

He seems to always have a safety valve to dump to.

[Superaggie79]

Yeah I don't think he has time for any double move deep routes but if we sit back he might kill us underneath.

[JoeOlson]

Yeah, we need to have someone marking those dump guys =/ Come on ags, let's get the stop

[GuatemalanAg]

1st down tech...

[Slotback]

First down TT, again running the ball.

[Slotback]

They sure are running a lot-for them.

[GuatemalanAg]

no QB pressure...:sad:

[GuatemalanAg]

:mad:

[Slotback]

Nicely executed shovel pass.

[GuatemalanAg]

somebody cover the safety valve!!!

[Superaggie79]

where'd the pressure go?

[Slotback]

We still can't generate any real pass rush.

[GuatemalanAg]

that missed FG sure gave them momentum :sad:

[AustinAggie]

I think you are right Vy. They are starting to show their stuff.

[Mezentius]

come on d step up

[GuatemalanAg]

Cmon D!!! :towel:

[JoeOlson]

And that's why our high school zone sucks ....

[Slotback]

They made that look easy.

[Superaggie79]

I hate Eric Morris we played him in the state semis

[GuatemalanAg]

Dang!!! TD :mad:

[AustinAggie]

That was quick.

[Vlyrock]

pathetic zone D. the short WR's for Tech are settling right between the LB and CB in the zone...we need to have a roving LB or somebody -- or they'll do that all day.

Time to answer the Punch ags...

[ekesqueaky]

We need to grind it out and answer on this next drive.

[AustinAggie]

Definitely need to put some hits on those receiver and pressure the QB more but with only 3 on the line that is going to be hard to do.

[GuatemalanAg]

Zone is not gonna cut it today...Darnell better come up with an adjustment fast...

[Slotback]

Lets hope we play to our strengths and unleash the power running game again. None of this damn cute stuff.

[Vlyrock]

The 1st quarter was easy. Here's where we find out about our team. Win the 2nd quarter and we'll get ball first in the 3rd (with the wind). Gotta do our part Ags.

:towel:

[BigJohn]

Did we forget how to tackle between the 1st and 2nd quarter??:mad:

[JoeOlson]

I just don't think you can contain those guys with a soft zone =/ I don't think we have the athletes to man up with them either, but I think it would work a bit better ... Dodge is a great leader and good in run support, but he can't guard anyone

[Mezentius]

Need to answer with a nice...long...slow...deep 7 minute drive for a silky smooth td.

[AustinAggie]

We need to grind it out and answer on this next drive.

Definitely, and we need to put points on the board.

[JoeOlson]

I would assume that's what he means by answer :D

[AustinAggie]

I just don't think you can contain those guys with a soft zone =/ I don't think we have the athletes to man up with them either, but I think it would work a bit better ... Dodge is a great leader and good in run support, but he can't guard anyone

With so many receiver it is going to be a challenge. Definitely need to make them pay for any catches the get.

[AustinAggie]

Okay boys, slow and steady.

[JoeOlson]

Which is exactly why we need Anthony Lewis in there. That man can HIT like no other just from talking to some of my friends who were on the team and from watching him play. It's pretty ridiculous

[GuatemalanAg]

here we go...

[Slotback]

Nice draw.....meanwhile the girlfriend is observing that I am scowling.....

[Mezentius]

Goodson looks like he nearly breaks every run...going pretty damned good today.

[Slotback]

How about an I formation?

[AustinAggie]

We need to just keep the ball on the ground. They are reading everything McGee is showing.

[JoeOlson]

This could be the game right here ... Come on ags

[GuatemalanAg]

we gotta convert here!!!

[JoeOlson]

Well **** ....

[Slotback]

How hard is this for Koenning and Fran to figure out?

[GuatemalanAg]

:mad::mad::mad::mad:

[Vlyrock]

Ok Koenning and Fran, no more passes except for 3rd down. We're killing our drives trying to trick Tech.

[AustinAggie]

Punt it to the 1

[GuatemalanAg]

Cmon Justin!!!

[Mezentius]

No lane that whole possession.

[GuatemalanAg]

:sad:

[JoeOlson]

Or the 45 ... whatever works

[Slotback]

Jeez louise. Same stupid play calling. Alexander spends way too much time on the sideline.

[macduff93]

Why change what was working?

[Vlyrock]

Brantley... how many times does he do that in key games!?

C'mon D...answer the call!

[AustinAggie]

let's go D, can't afford to have them score here.

[GuatemalanAg]

We better start hitting their WRs in the mouth and pressuring the QB :mad:

[JoeOlson]

I just don't understand how we can do one thing so well for the first drive and then Fran decides that we need to over do things on the second drive by opening up the pass game. It was working, but we didn't end up getting any points from it and now we just keep trying that same strategy as the 2nd drive and Tech is all over it. Just pound the freaking ball!!!!

[Vlyrock]

okay, now I'm nervous. it feels like we built huge momentum in the first quarter and now Tech has it all. We're averaging over 4 yards a run. Do it until they can stop it.

[Slotback]

Defense has to step it up. Otherwise Dirt Monkey in the stands starts thinking about tearing down the goalposts.

[GuatemalanAg]

Why change what was working?
Our coaching staff always tries to outsmart themselves...

[texasaggies_13]

Harrell gets the wind and he\'s gonna throw his arse off. D needs to come up big and protect their areas.

[GuatemalanAg]

TACO MEAT!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

[AustinAggie]

Why change what was working?

I know, why are we changing it up they are having a hard time against run after run.

[WesTxAg]

No lane that whole possession.
i think that's a valid point...the miami game we tried to use goodson on every down and it didn't work...he's fast, but he just doesn't make the first guy miss in the open field....if he did, we woulda had a first down

[Superaggie79]

we're back to out-thinking ourselves

[AustinAggie]

Can't miss those tackles.

[Slotback]

Jeez louise.:huh:

[GuatemalanAg]

Cmon Deffense!!!

[GuatemalanAg]

Leach is keeping us honest...

[Mezentius]

I liked the cycle of the two on the first possession....

[GuatemalanAg]

back to back runs again :huh:

[GuatemalanAg]

3 in a row and they convert...

[Mezentius]

I'll take tech on the ground all day.

[Slotback]

Our sieve like defense.......

[Mezentius]

as always the blitz from the outside on Tech does not work...to far to go due to the wide stance of the o line.

[Vlyrock]

great read by Harrell. We rolled out of the Cover 2 to a one safety set and they threw it away from where we rolled. The safety blew that coverage.

[GuatemalanAg]

That was easy....no pressure...our Zone is a joke...Cmon Darnell adjust dang it!!!

[AustinAggie]

We just need to own the clock the rest of this half and tie it up.

[BigJohn]

We are incapable of tackling or press covering

[Superaggie79]

and I break out the liquor

[GuatemalanAg]

I hope we go back to pounding the ball on Offense....

[Slotback]

No pressure, ineffective blitz and poor coverage on that play and they made us pay.

[Vlyrock]

14-7 Tech. McGee, Goodson, Lane -- it's on you boys. Answer Tech and tie this game up!!

[Mezentius]

Now we really need a looong drive.

[Slotback]

Folks, the knives are starting to sharpen again.

[texasaggies_13]

did our D make the trip to dustville

[BigJohn]

did our D make the trip to dustville
Someone kidnapped them after the 1st quarter.

[Mezentius]

4 qtr game...keep grinding.

[AussieAggie]

That was easy....no pressure...our Zone is a joke...Cmon Darnell adjust dang it!!!


he cant adjust anything till halftime never does

[Superaggie79]

Someone kidnapped them after the 1st quarter.
and replaced them with Lubbock Monterrey

[Slotback]

Again, I ask...where is Alexander? Where is the I formation?

[AustinAggie]

Where's the J-Train?

[GuatemalanAg]

Nice keeper :gig:

[AustinAggie]

Nice work McGee, looking good let's keep that clock burning.

[GuatemalanAg]

Lane is MIA :huh:

[GuatemalanAg]

another nice keeper....Can we go I formation please???

[Mezentius]

Lane is back.
