🏈 10/20 - Saturday's SEC and other football action thread

[TerryP]

As usual, two TV's set up for the day along with what's streamed...

First on the schedule: LSU vs A&M and of course Auburn vs Vandy.

I suspect somethings amiss in the last game due to stories of it being pulled from several betting lines yesterday.

I like LSU to win and I just don't know what to expect from the last game.

 

[bamaraider]

I have LSU big

I think Mettenberger will get in a rhythm early, the running game will gash them, then I think LSU's defense will force Manzel to beat them with his arm....

Seriously though, A&M is set for as long as Manzel is there, pretty exciting player, good leadership..I like him a lot

 

[TerryP]

He's fun to watch, no doubt.

I don't see Mett the same way you do. In fact, it'll take a lot to convince me their QB situation isn't worse this year.

Defense, and running the ball for LSU.

The question is whether LSU can maintain the discipline to say in their lanes and not allow him out of the pocket.

Big game for LSU.

6-0 A&M right now. Got the ball a second time and moving the ball against LSU.

 

[planomateo]

Ugh, LSU gets "injured" often...

Will Manziel hold up after a season of getting hit by "old men"

 

[rick4bama]

9-0 Texas A&M

 

[BamaFan615]

I agree with you Terry - atleast Jefferson had his running ability to bring to the table. Their option was a HUGE part of their offense last year. They relied heavily on it to move the chains.

 

[BamaFan615]

12-0 TAM over LSU w/ 6 minutes left in the 2nd Qtr. TAM is loading the box up against LSU.

Vandy 7-3 Auburn w/ 4 minutes left in the 2nd Qtr, and Vandy is clearly outplaying Auburn.

 

[planomateo]

LSU gets across the 50 and scores.

Boone!

I have to wonder when they pull the plug on Mettenberger and bring in Bolden or Rivers. I have to think Bolden gives them a better chance to win, he played at Penn State and should have the advantage over Rivers.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

After all that flash and glitter, aTm goes into half trailing.

Phillip Sims gets the TD pass for UVA.

From secprguy via tweet.

#TAMU #LSU combine for 92 offensive plays - 55 by #TAMU alone. Both team's defensive coaches will have lot of video to watch tomorrow. #SEC​

55 plays = 12 points

I wouldn't be surprised to see him take snaps in our game to throw that dual threat change of pace at our defense like Miles has done for years.

I'd almost say it was a given, but, it depends on if they have any bankable success with the wildcat.

 

[TerryP]

I've thought about this for the first half of the games today...and I can't think of another time in my life of watching college football I've had a reason to root for Purdue: until today.

 

[bamafan4ever]

BTW, with a win today, Vandy would overtake Auburn, again, for the all-time series lead. My favorite stat.......ever.

 

[planomateo]

Last week, Ole Miss transferred most current consecutive SEC losses to Auburn, that was the one that made me chuckle last week, you've given me a reason to chuckle this week.

thanks!

Texas A&M has male cheerleaders :rolf:

Texas A&M has male cheerleaders :rolf:

Well it was at one time and all male school. :shock:

 

[planomateo]

Well it was at one time and all male school. :shock:

Hasn't been all male in years and they aren't a real military school either...

Can't wait to go to Kyle next year for the Bama game, I went a few years ago, cool place to see a game.
