If there’s a good excuse for A&M being this bad I can’t think of it. They look awful. 3-4 with Ole Miss and LSU still to play, also have Florida and Auburn. Are we sure they are making it to 6-6?


UMass is a W.  They have to win two of the 4 SEC games and get three at home.   I say 6-6 is their ceiling.  That’s ridiculous for the amount of talent and how much Fisher is making.  
 

They claim to have all the money in the world.  Do they have enough for NIL, Fisher’s buyout AND the salary needed to get a huge name as HC?

A&M just goes to show you that coaching matters. Though I will give them credit for the way they played the last 15 seconds last night. Kicked FG and then recovered on side kick, had two attempts in the end zone to win it. 
 

But other wise, you would think they would be better than this in his 5th season. And the way this team is sinking, players may start bailing out.

This week went about like I expected so no change on my end of the year prediction. I’ve got OM at 9-3 and State at 7-5. Though I’m slightly more open to the idea that State wins the Egg Bowl after seeing the OM defense in recent weeks. So there’s a possibility both finish 8-4.

I still say 7-5 for State and 10-2 for OM.   
 

State with wins over Bowling Green and Auburn.  Im not as sure about State beating Auburn as I was a few weeks ago, but I’m also not as confident that OM beats State.  

I like OM to beat A&M and lose to Bama.  I’m not sure Arkansas can stop OM from scoring, but OM will probably have a tough time stopping Jefferson also.  
 

I am all of a sudden looking forward to the Bama/LSU game.   An LSU win could make things interesting in the West.  This LSU team could beat Bama and lose to Arkansas or A&M or both.

How long is Evans out and how injured are the 4 defensive players who left the game at LSU saturday? ole miss can't play from behind at all and dart struggles badly reading defenses and isn't near as accurate as he needs to be. 


When did Evans get hurt?  I’m guessing it was the Auburn game.

"Billy Liucci

@billyliucci

When it rains it pours. I've been told at least three and perhaps four A&M players have been suspended indefinitely by Aggie head coach Jimbo Fisher, all from the true freshman ranks."

 

Three of the four have had decent playing time or have started for A&M this season

With Ole MIss defensive injury situation, A&M can run and run some more and probably be successful. If Evans doesn't play RB simply to spell Judkins, then Dart's pre-snap read struggles will continue. Leach is basically coaching for state's season on Nov 5. There is no other way to approach it. Will the week off help or hurt?

I don’t think you look at Auburn as a make the season game. That puts too much pressure on it.

It is one more opportunity to improve and win a game. 
The open date is a huge help. Lot of injuries and banged up guys . So that should help coming into that game to get some players back. Plus the team can take a collective breath. This last stretch of four games was tough. They can reset and be ready to go down the stretch. Can still be a very successful season.

Agree there but at that the same , it needs to be approached as one game. Just focus on each play and let’s win that game. 
Need the defense that played against alabama to show up again and the offense that played against Arkansas. Stay solid on special teams and we should be in good shape to win.

It is one game and if he can't motivate his team to beat a team that is as messed up as what Harsin is dealing with then Leach has a worse mess than we can even imagine. I was at a high school game several years ago when Lafayette was up 48-0 at half and the losing team scored a TD in the 4 th quarter and the coach said his team won the 2nd half even though his team lost 55-7. I get what you are saying though, Leach must preach that to his team.
