This game looks like Big Ten West game. Windy out ✅ one team can’t move the ball and somehow is still in the game ✅ one team is moving the ball and uglies up the drives and can’t score ✅

These two teams look like Iowa offenses. Or maybe their defenses are just out of this world (I doubt it). And wow, I haven’t seen a gut like Elko’s since the 80’s.

Elko and Texas A&M just got lucky at the end of the 1st half. 2nd missed FG by Miami in the game.

The only reason they had the chance to kick a FG, was because A&M tried a fake punt at their own 40-something yard line.

Is this boring football? That would definitely be the narrative if Iowa was playing in it.

I imagine ESPN will describe it as a defensive juggernaut since there is a SEC team in it.

Wow, you never saw coach Mangino at Kansas, better look him up

Defenses totally in control now. TAMU QB is pretty wild and nose dived a couple

Beck is more of a short passer type guy but that brings the defenders in close

I have seen some runners duck out of bounds in this game and it being so close in score and so hard to get yards you as a coach and the player you want to stay in bounds and try to get another yard or two.

Also the TAMU is not very accurate, if he was I think they would probably be ahead especially with his running ability

Probably could have called a leading with the helmet penalty on the Miami defender.

A&M throws an INT in the end zone and loses.

Exactly what I told my brother. This was a boring, ugly game by two inept "offenses." SEC? LOL

Playing at home, the SEC team couldn't even score a touchdown against a team many believe didn't belong in the CFP. The SEC is a legend in its own mind, and at ESPN Headquarters, but that's about it. The fantasy is beginning to unravel. And just wait til Cignetti blows Alabama outta the Rose Bowl. :cool:

Nope. He hit the receiver with his facemask. Totally legal. A Bob Sanders hit, and it saved the game.

Early on but Ole Miss looks like they are going to make the SEC 2-2
I don't know about that. Tulane is moving the ball all over the field, and the Green Wave defense is settling in. Could turn out to be a ballgame. I hear a team was ahead last night 17-0, totally dominating the game, but ended up getting beat 34-24 . . .

The running games and physicality outside of the big ten is just a joke.

There's a reason Indiana is a 7 point favorite over Bama

Anyone else think the A&M QB could have easily scored on a QB draw at the end of the game? I get that they had no TO’s, but ….😉

Interesting putting something like that on film playing a team you’re going to blow out by 30
