Louisiana-Lafayette @ Texas A&M Game Thread

[jagowar]

You know the drill.

[Vlyrock]

Vlyrock's Keys to Victory (What I want to see) -- I'll quote and review these after the game:

Offense:

500 yards of Total Offense (preferably 300 P/200 R)
0 Turnovers
Convert 70% of our drives with points
Win the time of possession battle
Long, sustained drives that eat up clock
Defense:

Force turnovers
Pressure and sack the QB
Let our offense start past mid-field at least once
Control Field Position all day
Don't miss tackles

Sounds pretty standard. You forgot outscore the other team. ;)

[cyanide]

Defensively the Ags need to prevent any explosive deep pass plays. I hope our secondary is up to the challenge today. My fingernails are bloody nubs at this point and I am sick of it. I hope Darnell has everything wired TIGHT as all hell. The future of the season depends on it. The schedule only gets tougher.

[Vlyrock]

In case people don't know, UL-L was picked to win the Sun Belt conference, so that means they have some players -- at least compared to the other Sun Belt teams.

[JonesyMan]

I hope this game does not turn into another Texas-State game debacle.
That being said, I think the good guys will do majordamage to the Cajuns.

[Aggiediver03]

Anyone listening to the CSTV audio feed? and is it really quiet?

[TexAg77]

Start with 3 & out. Good way for D to start the game.

[MarylandAG]

Howdy! just logged in. I'm listening to it on The Arrow out of Houston. The audio is nice and loud.:)

[MarylandAG]

Need 4 yds, and......man almost. Get Lane in for the 1 yd punch!

[MarylandAG]

Very Nice! Whoop!

[Slotback]

Touchdown

[Slotback]

Sack by Harrington

[MarylandAG]

Man it is so nice for our kicker to get it in the endzone on kickback. Defense if playing nice!

[MarylandAG]

Hell yes, 3 and out again!

[Slotback]

Another 3 and out and start on the ULL side of the field. Very good.

[TexAg77]

Iowa just beat Syracuse in 2OT. The Orange had a 1st and inches and couldn't get it in.

[Slotback]

1st and goal again. :gig:

[MarylandAG]

1st down, the offense is clicking!:gig:

[TexAg77]

Slotback, or you litening on the radio or the internet?

[Slotback]

Lane scores. Symanski PAT. 14-0.:gig:

When does Branyon come on? 2nd qtr or 3rd?

[Slotback]

Storming down field again. This is going to get really ugly. Good thing I have to log off and go to work in a minute.

[MarylandAG]

Who started at LB! Slot, I think you let McGee finish the 1st half, then go Branyon 3rd and McCoy 4th, but that is just my opinion.

[MarylandAG]

Slot you need to get the sheriff's dept to hook you up with Sirius:p

[Kyle98]

Storming down field again. This is going to get really ugly.
Good. :D I liked using the Citadel game as a preseason game, but we need to show we can dominate an inferior opponent.

1 first down and 10 passing yards for ULaLa in the first quarter is encouraging for the defense, as well.

[CaliHornia]

Sounds like a good game for you guys so far. Tough to pile up points any faster with the new clock rules.

[dogdoc]

Good Lord. I finally found an am station carrying the game. Poor to fair reception. This is ridiculous.

[TexAg77]

Touchdown!

21-0 good guys

[Kyle98]

TD Chad at it again!

[MarylandAG]

Put a fork in them! It is nice that we are doing to them what we should be doing to them. Big difference from last week! Very nice.

[Aggie By Default]

whoop!!

[MarylandAG]

Nice, fumble and we recover!

[Kyle98]

Whoop. Turnover to the Ags!

[MarylandAG]

Who was it that put the hit on Bennett?

[MarylandAG]

Goodson is in that is nice to see! Damn, we are clicking 32 yd, we are knocking on the door at the 5

[MarylandAG]

Not much to complain about, the folks on TexAgs will be disappointed, okay okay just kidding.

[dogdoc]

That's funny.

[TexAg77]

Not much to complain about, the folks on TexAgs will be disappointed, okay okay just kidding.


No. You're right. They won't have anything to bitch about. Fran and company are covering all the bases.

[MarylandAG]

We should get some really good field position on this. They are making the QB pay!

[dogdoc]

Nice punt and nice return.

[MarylandAG]

Tellus is having a pretty good game. I'd like to see Goodson get a hefty dose of carries for confidence purposes. Dave South has me confused was that another fumble by Goodson or a keeper by McGee?

[Foot Wedge]

[MarylandAG]

Damn what happened, how did they score. I step away for a minute and they score:cry: . Damn Buckeyes missed a field goal.

[dogdoc]

Missed FG. We're letting up. MD: New QB for ULALA put a spark in them. Buckeye: Getting website but no stream. Thanks anyway.

[Aggiediver03]

[Aggiediver03]

and the best part for me...holding them to 171 yards and only 17 passing

[macduff93]

Anyway BTHO Army


Can we say that? :huh:

[whitelightnin_23]

Great game...still would love to see a pick or two...but that would be icing on a super-feaking awesome cake. Everything else met or exceeded my expectations...

[whitelightnin_23]

Great game...still would love to see a pick or two...but that would be icing on a super-feaking awesome cake. Everything else met or exceeded my expectations...

I'm a freaking idiot...they only completed 2 passes for 12 (i think) yards...can't get much better than that!

[KCAggie]

Can we say that? :huh:

well i just did :gig:

[Pumchavas28]

A&M won... tu lost..... UTEP is taking it to Tech 25-24 in the 3rd.... Life Is Good...


C'Mon Miners...... Mike Price is a damn good coach.... he may like women a lil more than other coaches but he is still a damn good coach.

[GregH]

My aggie experience was FABULOUS!!!!! TU loses, WE win, and only 7 U-LA-LA fans showed up to the game at Kyle Field. How did ya like their HS band musical picks!!LMFAO!!!

[Vlyrock]

I just got back from the game and figured I'd offer my thoughts since I was there in person.

First of all, the Aggies dominated the Cajuns. For anybody keeping track, U LaLa only had 17 yards passing. :eek: Granted the DL and off-target QB had more to do with it than the DB's, but that's pretty good compared to what we've seen recently.

Also, the refs gave their only score to them. On that drive, ULaLa made it down to the 10 yard line where they ran a handoff up the middle. The QB, pretended it was a playaction and so the Aggie rusher (I don't remember who) hit him from behind (because you couldn't tell if he had the ball or not). The ref didn't do anything. As the play ran out, the RB fumbled it and A&M recovered. After the A&M guy was tackled, the ref then threw the flag on the ground and called an Unnecessary Roughness on A&M, giving them the ball back in which they eventually scored a touchdown.

OTher than that, A&M played a near perfect game. This can only do good things and will boost their confidence going into other games. It sounded a lot louder this game too (with less people -- only 68,000+ here tonight), but the students were in it the whole game.

Jorvorskie Lane had 4 TD's, so I wouldn't be surprised if he was named Big XII player of the week. :gig:

[Dustin00whoop]

I doubt Lane is player of the week. While he did have 4 TDs, I think he only had 50 something yards rushing.

Anyway, this was the kind of game I expected last week. McGee was sharp. I think he completed 20-27. The running game was virtually unstoppable--even without Yemi playing. Travis Schneider looked really good in his place.

Chris Harrington has a motor that never stops. That guy was deep in the backfield the whole freaking game.

I bet we played 90 guys this week. He'll everyone freaking played.

Jamie McCoy wasn't on the sidelines last night. Anyone heard anything about this? Also, Brandon Leone didn't play. Don't know what he did to piss someone off, but if you didn't play last night you must either be hurt or in the doghouse.

Samson Taylor was the only guy that I saw get hurt. He limped off in the 4th. Looked like maybe an ankle.

I'll think of more things later & post 'em.

[jagowar]

I will pretty much echo the above 2 posts.... but wanted to add one thing. Did anybody notice we use the normal punt formation for our one punt? I was pretty happy to see that.

somebody on texags said they saw him at freebirds 3 hrs before the game (but you have to consider the source). I bet we will know something this week when the press gets wind (because you know thats the type of info they want to get out of fran.... who cares about that football thing)

as for leone... i noticed it as well and personally i think thats where he should stay. never been a big fan of him getting carries when we have courtney lane and now goodson (which played substantially better this game).

[Dustin00whoop]

Yeah, our one & only punt, we looked normal. And Brantly kicked that thing 58 yards. I hope that wasn't just an experiment.

[Dustin00whoop]

Justin Warren really disappointed me. I don't know if he is still feeling the effects of his injury or what, but he looked like he was playing in concrete shoes out there. As a matter of fact, the only realy big play they had (one of the 30 QB options they ran) he had the guy squared up at the LOS, was never blocked, & completely missed the guy.

I understand he has a lot of tackles in his first two games, but tackles don't equal results. Most of his tackles have been 5 yards downfield & he is usually the 2nd or 3rd guy in. Like I said before, hopefully its just the lingering effects of his injury. But we're going to need him to be back to full speed by Tech.

[Superaggie79]

I left at Half time how'd Goodson look?

[Dustin00whoop]

I left at Half time how'd Goodson look?

Wow!!! Maybe 2% is too much! You left at halftime?

[Vlyrock]

Goodson looked good, he had one nice run where he had to reverse field completely and ended up outrunning the entire defense until he was forced out after a 10 yard gain.

[phatbc]

I think he made it a point to say he left at haltime just to see the reactions :)

[Superaggie79]

We kept waiting and waiting for him to get some carries. The game was well in hand and I was happy with the attitude we played with compared to last week therefore we left to go watch the game at the bar. They had A&M on the radio so it was good stuff. An I wasn't trying to get reactions I was just saying when I left along with a few hundred people at the same time.

[Loftin]

He probably passed by me as I was walking in.

[Superaggie79]

You would've been brought to getting down on your knees by my glorious engergy that surrounds me.

[Loftin]

engergy

What comes around goes around.;)

[AustinAG07]

I would have liked to see McGee play one more drive and maybe try throwing the ball downfield some more. He looked great, but most of the his passes in the first two games have been quick 5 to 10 yard routes. Do y'all think that we are still trying to break him in or is this going to be something we do all year?

I think we aren't throwing it too far downfield because we don't have to.

[Superaggie79]

Liucci said that we don't want to score too fast. We will have a "controlled" offense and go for drives. However I think if necessary we know that we have the speed to go over the top.

[AustinAG07]

I think we aren't throwing it too far downfield because we don't have to.

Yeah, true. But as soon as Branyon goes in the game we go deep to Joey Thomas (play of the game IMO. What a catch!). Still, our offense looked great. I am a senior this year and I think this may have been the best all around game we have played since I have been here.

[Pumchavas28]

The game was well in hand and I was happy with the attitude we played with compared to last week therefore we left to go watch the game at the bar.

What game was it that you went to go watch at the bar? Was the game Televised in CS? :confused:

Did you leave an A&M game to was tu?:wow: Say it ain't so.

[Dustin00whoop]

Probably a true statement about being the best all-around game. I think they aired it out with Branyon just to see what he could do. And actually, that ball was way underthrown. Should've been picked. But you can't fault Joey for that & he did a great job of sticking with it & hauling it in.

[Superaggie79]

Of course I did.

[NPLAggie07]

Speaking of leaving the game early, is anyone else embarrased when someone in your group of people leave early? I had two of my friends leave and I felt embarrased.

[Dustin00whoop]

Speaking of leaving the game early, is anyone else embarrased when someone in your group of people leave early? I had two of my friends leave and I felt embarrased.

Hell yes!!! I don't understand people. I was always taught that you show up at least 30 minutes before kickoff & you don't leave until its over.

[Superaggie79]

Make it an hour before kickoff with the freaking lines to get in these days. BTW I paid to watch a game not a blowout therefore it's my right to do as I please. What's funny is I didn't hear one person yell 2%er... army has gone to hell.

No, be in your seat 30 minutes before kickoff. And they probably didn't yell 2%er at you because you are such an imtimidating force & the word has gotten out that you like to fight. And yeah, you are right, old army has gone to hell.

[Superaggie79]

And I was in a ****ing fighting mood too. When I was going up the ramps all these fish corp boys were coming down and I "shoulder bumped" them trying to get a response. They just looked forward with fear in their eyes. I'm pretty sure I smelled urine from the guy in glasses. They were spared.

[Superaggie79]

Oh and real aggies get there to see the corp march in


hth

[KCAggie]

so were you the senior in high school that picked on all the freshmen?

[Superaggie79]

No I was the guy that everyone looked up to and taught sunday school and coached the JV when I got done with my drills. I didn't touch alcohol or have pre-marital relations and was one of the few good guys in the town. I may have stretched the story but I did bump a few guys to try and get a rise.
