A&M is not a good football team

[Piscis]

They should be dominating with Sellers injured. Their offense is abysmal.

agree. We are playing like absolute ***** on both sides of the ball.

 

[sclawman77]

Will gladly take the W. It was ugly but if UGA can lose to Auburn at home, anybody in this league can beat another team in it.

 

[KingWard]

I think they have a lot of good personnel, but the chemistry is off somewhere, for which I'm expansively grateful.

 

[Uscg1984]

They may not have had success this year, but there were a lot of future NFL players wearing ATM helmets tonight. Im thrilled to get this win. This was the kind of game Gamecocks have been losing my entire half-century life.

Agree. They are like us in 2025, plenty of talent the engine just isnt working for whatever reason.

 

[18IsTheMan]

No, they are not. With how bad we were playing, a good team would’ve beaten us easily today.

Nevertheless, we won a game we really had no business winning based on our play. Nothing was working for us today, but we found a way to win.

Hopefully this was our letdown.

That is what has had me worried all week. Anyone can beat antone in this league on any given Saturday.

Tell that to bama. They were beating them in the 4th qtr

Then you shouldn't be worried

And you know we wouldn’t have found a way to win against ‘a good team’ how?

With respect, this is why it is difficult to have interactions on here sometimes; we perceive two different universes.

Such is life, n’est-ce pas?

17 points isn't going to win you many conference games.

It's not shocking to acknowledge that we did not play well. We only had 10 points with a little over a minute to go in the game. You can't argue that 10 points is a good game.

BUT we found a way to win even though we weren't playing our best. It's a testament to the mental makeup of the team.

I didn't say we wouldn't have found a way to beat a good team, but with how our D was playing a good team probably turns at least couple of those FG drives into TDs. D gave up plenty of yards.

Sometimes you simply have to gut out a bad performance.

 

[Legal_fowl]

I thought A&M's defense was really good yesterday. Offensively, they moved the ball at will but couldn't get in the endzone.

Honestly, I thought they played much better than I expected based on their schedule results.

Matchups, my friend. Uber quick scat qb, super stout and quick lines both sides, quick linebackers. See the common word? Matchups.

Fixed it for you

Very surprising how far TAMU has fallen from last year.
EOY # 7 in the CFP.
# Freefall.

Antoine is hard to beat anytime.

 

[TheRoo]

That was not a bad team we beat yesterday by any measure.

They came into the game ahead of us in the Power Rankings.

 

[Go Gamecocks]

They've stepped up their run defense their last 2 games. Take away the big Sellers run, and we fared no better than 'Bama on the ground.

Should be interesting to see how they play their next 3 games....they could be a spoiler.

 

[Skuddy]

If you look at the level at which aTm recruits and the amount of resources they have, they are almost always a disappointment.

I think its because the entire place and its people are extremely weird

Right. Were their fans practicing 12th man cheers at the Statehouse grounds again? They must practice that in their sleep.

Yep. Any team in the league would be happy beating UF, UT, OU and A&M in four straight.

This is why I give Botman and the BOTs such crap for their constant propaganda and trolling.

Each week, they go out of their way to explain why a win was actually less meaningful believed and that our team (and/or player) really isn't that good.

Either a massively jaded fan or not a fan at all.

Hard to tell.

 

[Bubba Fett]

I'm wondering how they knew 4 out of 5 times what gap we were going to try to run? They had a key on our running plays.

 

[TheRoo]

Maybe -- They had some talented fronts and It looked to me like they were going to force Sellers to beat them with his arm.

Expect UGA to do the same thing at a higher degree.

 

[Go Gamecocks]

The big Sellers run looks like classic zone read w/RPO. Watch the TAMU defenders @ :25. They crowd the LOS, but are burned by the outside QB keeper.

Not looking forward to that matchup,

 

[sclawman77]

Yeah. They weren't expecting a qb keeper at all due to injury.

 

[Go Gamecocks]

Yeah. They weren't expecting a qb keeper at all due to injury.

And gambled on a blitz to try and get the ball back. They paid for that.

 

[18IsTheMan]

So you disagree with the premise that an and A&M is a good team??

 

[18IsTheMan]

EOY # 7 in the CFP.
# Freefall.

Several weeks ago, someone had a breakdown and showed how much money A&M has spent since firing Kevin Sumlin. Compared to his winning percentage, they have spent a staggering amount of money for a small handful of extra wins.

 

[TheRoo]

Not looking forward to that matchup,

Yep. I'd like our chances a little better if Fuller was available.

On the positive --- IF we can get by ARK, at least we get to play the best team in the country at the end of the season in our stadium.

The heck with the playoffs for the time being -- That's a National Championship caliber game for us.

If we were to somehow win, that probably would be the biggest win in history (surpassing the BAMA victory).

If we lose, maybe we go into Clemson and blow the doors off of them to close the season.

Do you think the injury with Sunset Superman could be why South Carolina only scored 17 points?

 

[kidrobinski]

So you disagree with the premise that an and A&M is a good team??

Not sure I understand that there question.

I do not think A&M is a bad football team, by a long shot, in spite of their record. They are big, tough, hard hitting and quick, they played with focus and were well coached as usual. They had an excellent game plan and were hurting us in the areas where we do not match up well with them. To label them as ‘not a good football team’ is kind of silly imo, and I view it as a passive aggressive indirect swipe at Beamer to throw shade on our team and results which again, is kind of silly.

Dude has got a serious rep

What killed A&M were their poor receivers. In the past, they seemed to have excellent receivers, not this year.

As the saying goes, you are what your record says you are, and they are 1-5 in conference play.
