No one player on the TU roster who wouldn't be a starter for NMSU. Aggies did well. Just need to play competition that's more their speed. <br /><br />If the Aggies don't show up against UNM and UTEP in either half, then you might as well right them off. For myself, I think the Aggies have a great shot of beating either or both of those teams. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835899929137685677.post-9516178794691845442013-09-04T12:25:44.720-07:002013-09-04T12:25:44.720-07:00I agree with the Ramondo getting in there more. E...I agree with the Ramondo getting in there more. Even to spell the starter. Secondary for being seniors, have terrible technique, they are guessing instead of making correct reads which is lack of knowledge of the play book, their bad tackling is directly related to effort and as a result they take wrong angles. And finally do not finish. The Ash TD run Both SS and CB were face up to QB on the sideline. There are no excuses for mutiple mental breakdowns or effort from D1 players. Plus it is such a DOWNER with plays like that. Gotta pick it up bigtime.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835899929137685677.post-83221194583432890172013-09-04T11:19:56.819-07:002013-09-04T11:19:56.819-07:00Colwell injured his shoulder.

I believe he doesn't fit what coaching staff wants to do (they run a 1-gap technique up front, he's more of a 2-gap lineman). Still, think they have to get him on field more often. <br /><br />Cazares' rushing yardage came on fake punt.<br /><br />As for the secondary, there were coverage breakdowns throughout the evening. Ash's run was mind-boggling. Not saying it's a good thing, I'm just saying I think the Aggies as a whole played hard throughout the night and schematically things broke down on them throughout second half. Believe on Ash's run they were in man coverage, backs turned to ball carrier, somehow he went untouched for TD.Teddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13386629624279917813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835899929137685677.post-79883576213587259252013-09-03T15:18:18.097-07:002013-09-03T15:18:18.097-07:00I was in shock that the Aggies played ball during ...I was in shock that the Aggies played ball during the first half....and then the team I have lamented over that past ten years showed up. Like years past, this team has a lot of quit in them.<br /><br />For me, the most disappointing group was the secondary. The Aggie secondary cannot tackle and puts themselves out of position...even when they are originally in position to make a play. Check out the ESPN highlights...there are a couple examples of this shown: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=9623650Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835899929137685677.post-75977770115059232112013-09-03T14:48:56.949-07:002013-09-03T14:48:56.949-07:00Teddy Now let's see how much football you know...Teddy Now let's see how much football you know. I gave you props earlier but if you don't think that there was a lack of effort in the secondary, please review Ash TD run. Watch it real speed then go back and slow it down. After watching that play, please tell me what scheme caused that TD? I'm giving them credit because if it isn't lack of effort, then its lack of skill. I think 2 players who should have made that easy play have some skill, they lack the will and desire it takes to play 60min. But you tell me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835899929137685677.post-14373117021364000812013-09-03T09:18:20.262-07:002013-09-03T09:18:20.262-07:00Teddy,

Texas was trying different approaches to the short, systematic, control game. Then.....They figured out we couldn't stay with them in the long game. albeit a higher risk approach, Speed was in their corner and we had no answer. That was the begining of the end.

Namely on the defensive side of the ball. It can't be fatigue in the 1st half. I think the biggest obstacle for these coaches is getting the returning senior starters to NOT be ok with failure without effort.
