I think A&M is a 9-3 team with Reed at QB. Defense isn’t good enough for his inevitable mistakes

I think we’ll be up by 30+ in the third before a potential back door cover. I’m expecting us to kick their ass, and for CJ to finally start slinging the ball down field.

The advanced metrics still think we are a top 10 team. -6.5 is very likely to be our tightest spread of the year, meaning we should have an implied 70%+ win probability in every remaining game

FWIW I didn’t think our defense was that bad against Miami considering how they were projected to be a top offense entering the season and we had a new DC. They especially tightened up in the second half.

Well the rumor we picked Riley over him is confirmed.

To that point, essentially all of the most predictive ratings system think we are still a top 10 power-rated team. Hopefully water finds its level 🤷‍♂️. We’ve been incredible against the spread the previous 2 years so we were somewhat due for a correction. Dokter Entropy: #10 Sargarin: #5...

Don’t discount last years teams accomplishments - by every advanced ratings system it was the best ND team since Holtz and we ended #2 or #3 in Sargarin, SP+, and others despite all our injuries.

These stats are all worthless at this point with SOS disparities as wide as they are. I’m sure our Havoc rate would be near PSU if we played their schedule too.

Tanking this season while trying to land the plane on the best class of my life time would be some really tragic stuff. Really need a 9-3 or better finish to maintain some momentum. Can sell to recruits that we had a freshman QB who is going to be a star at least.

Sitting for 2 weeks didn’t seem to help that much.

lol.

He has to be absolutely pissed, they hit on QB and have their most physically gifted team since he’s been there and the defense (which was his baby prior to being promoted) has absolutely collapsed despite returning a ton.

I think Tengwell regrets not picking ND out of HS lol. He’s very complimentary of us. Saying we have the best RB duo in America isn’t easy for a PSU alum.

I think the Purdue game will be good for him. He’s been running into loaded boxes / talented DLs since the 98 yard run against Indiana. Hope he gets a big workload.

Man didn’t appreciate how close he was here. Should have had so many more ints. Hell of a play.

Good - Stroman is shockingly slow and may be fine against most competition bc of his experience but just isn’t athletic enough as we saw and doesn’t have the instincts to make up for it. He needs to be phased out when Shuler is back In a pre-portal era, Talich i would have seen as a key depth...

I think we are going to murder them, as we should. This isn’t anywhere near an even talent match up like our first two games. Our offense isn’t going to stall like it did against NIU, it’s too balanced with CJ. And on defense, they don’t have any playmakers that should scare you. Irish cover

If you want to incentivize teams to have strong strength of schedule not do what PSU does, then we should absolutely still be ranked.

Sucks, but A&M fans online have been very complimentary ab the atmosphere and the crowd noise exceeded their expectation. Sounds like they crushed that aspect at least.

Bengals season is likely over as Burrow is out 3+ months. Brutal.
