Our run defense is doing great. Pass defense better, but still has plenty of work. But overall we are looking much better on D than last year.

And it looks like our offense hasn't lost a step!

Pass defense could use some work.

Go start an A&M thread!!


I wonder how the "back-up" QB for Ohio State will play this season. Tricky first two games too...

The most impressive thing to me last night was that it was 52-28 with nearly the entire 4th quarter to play and SC never saw the ball again.

I heard ESPN is looking for more expert commentators for their College Football segments, and your expertise puts up right up there with the best. You should apply.

Seriously though, thank you, Kevin Sumlin. The Aggie faithful have waited a long time for a coach with your abilities. You actually inspire me to have faith in the Ag's again. Please don't leave.


I couldn't help but think about Professor last night. We knew before his passing that A&M and USC would be cross-conference rivals tasked to play every year, and I actually looked forward to that dynamic with him. It's too bad he's not here to show his support of the team he loved.

Aw man. Prof.


I'm a big Sumlin fan. I'm glad he stuck around. I was also impressed by the tenacity SC showed. Often when a team is down by that much you can see the fight drain out of them, but they continued to make me nervous until the 4th quarter.

We play the mighty North Texas mañana. Should be a nice little feel good game



Pains me to say this but A&M looked good

I was watching a DVR recording and decided to call it a night at 11 pm with ~1 min left in the 3rd up by 17. I was nervous going to bed, and I debated for quite some time this morning whether or not to look at the final because I know the Aggies can easily give up 17 pts in 17 real-time minutes.

Saw that highlight this morning though of the true freshman intercepting Thompson. It was a terrible throw, but my goodness, that kid looked great in his debut. Two huge hits and an interception is a BIG confidence booster for the start of his career.

Exactly. I've seen them throw away too many leads. Granted...a different team, but still nerve-wracking when SC was scoring so quickly and still clearly trying to stay in the game.

it was a close game, but these boys practice in the worst conditions day in and day out...

after 3 quarters.. they still have steam left in the tank. that's what it came down to. Wisconsin lived up to their ranking, though.

the big shocker was Alabama/Florida State having trouble...

Georgia's running game is like whoa.... (no surprise, gurley is destined to be great)

I must say as a South Carolina Alumni, we were embarrased by Texas A&M. We just played no defense. A&M looked real good. I hope our team can return and play with some decent defense this next game. I also hope VT can beat the hated Ohio State Buckeyes this weekend.

Signing with ESPN for 20 years - $30,000,000
Paying Coach Strong for his first season - $9,375,000
Watching the tea-sippers cry while their beloved university laughs all the way to the bank... Priceless
