I think that this might be a good game. Neither team really looks like they've got a defense at this point, so I expect a high score.
I watched Miami get blown out by OU a few weeks ago and nobody really stood out that week. Maybe because the game was so boring, I kept switching to the other games. They don't have their names on their jerseys this year either, so that doesn't help.
The A&M offense looks like they'll produce some NFL players someday. I watched A&M play the same day against Fresno State and Jervorskie Lane seems like the guy that really stands out to me. He's the type of runner that gets the tough yards and tries to lay out tacklers. They alternate him with Mike Goodson, who's more of a finesse RB. It seems like they use those guys the same way that USC used Reggie Bush and Lendale White.
Stephen McGee is a pretty dangerous QB. He has a pretty good connection with Martellus Bennett (the TE.) He can make plays with his legs too.
I'm sure some of our Aggie friends around here could tell you more.
How are the All-Blacks looking this year?
Miami fan here.
um, don't worry about anyone except the RB's. Phillips is grossly overrated, i'm still waiting for him to play a game where he lives up to his potential. everyone that says he's better than Sean Taylor or Ed Reed....pppppffffttttttt, those guys won games almost on their own. Campbell is a beast, but we got a 2005 NC State-type d-line. focus on Campbell too much and someone else will get ya
James and Cooper, however, are good for 100 yards a piece if given the carries. but that may not even happen, as our OC is an *****.
A&M wins by 3 touchdowns at least
I guess I didn't know how bad it was in Miami. I expected this to be our first test, considering the nature of the game (Thursday night, our first away game).
If they can't activate a passing game (and it seems you don't think they will be able to), they won't win this game. The only teams who will beat us this year are those who can pass effectively and spread out our defense.
Are you predicting losses to Texas Tech & Texas???
Miami gets an 18 play drive for a TD on their first possesion.
A&M has the most unimaginative offense I've seen on what's supposed to be a Tier 1 athletic program. They lack the playmakers on defense that has been the hallmark of A&M football. Several years of crap recruiting are coming to roost. They are being exposed tonight by a bad team and the only good thing that can come of this game and the likely losses to Tech, Nebraska, Texas, OU, Missouri and maybe even Baylor or OSU is the firing of Franchione and a renewal of the proud tradition that is obviously lost. The Ags have some talent and a lot of good kids and I feel bad for them having to work under this regime.
See, where your wrong here is that there recruiting hasnt been that bad. McGee, Bennett, Bennett, Lane, Goodson, Harrington etc. were all top recruits in high school.
Turns out they dont have a coach or coaching staff that put them in position to win.
I am a die hard aggie (Fighting Texas Aggie Class of 2005) but this is the way I see it. We will lose tonight, to Texas, get Killed by OU, lose to Nebraska, and probably Tech and Fran gets fired. Finally, this has been a long time coming. He has no more RC Slocum excuses for losing. These are all his guys.
I think the only reason he kept his job last year is because he beat Texas. I think we might still be able to beat Texas this year at home. But if we get humiliated more than once this year he is gone.
I don't know about the level of recruits being that good, in fact I would say it had dropped of since RC left. Fact, in RC's final year he had put more players in the NFL then any other coach in the Big 12. How many of Fran's (a&m)recruits are in the NFL? Now granted very few of Fran's guys have entered the draft, but still how many currently on the roster are considered NFl caliber players? 3, maybe 4.
I will always contend that firing RC might have been a mistake, but replacing him with Fran was definatly a mistake.
miami gets up for these primetime games, tis a fact...Facing a bad Miami team whose swagger is as stale as a french fry under the driver's seat.

Man and I don't know whether to be happy or sad about A&M passing on Kubiak. He wanted to coach at A&M and we opted for Fran. As an Aggie, I'm sad. As a Texan, I'm glad. Hmm...
I had heard that he had no interest at all. That we had interest in him and he wanted to stay at the pro level.
Same with Mike Sherman, we should have fired Fran last year and tried to hire Butch Davis.
You sure about that? Because I remember at the time Kubiak going to interview for the job. I'd figure if you went to interview you'd at least be interested. But I could be wrong. Man this game sucks.
See, where your wrong here is that there recruiting hasnt been that bad. .
If you think A&Ms talent is anywhere close to where it should be, you need to refocus. The recruiting has been terrible the past few years as a whole. Big schools in power conferences will always draw a few like McGee, J Train, Goodson - the noted exceptions - but A&M hasn't been drawing in high quality players in the numbers they used to in a long time. Maybe you missed what I said about the Ags having some talent and a lot of good kids. Franchione and his entire staff needs to be shown the door as soon as the Texas game ends, because there will be no bowling. Tonight is an embarrassment for Texas football no matter who you root for.

Uh, Kas, I don't know what kind of fan you are; however, your predictions are not worth sh%&.
I thought the first 2 or 3 years Fran had a top 10 recruiting class. Recently though they have been sub par. Regardless, A&M looks terrible. Put in Jerrod Johnson!
lol...This game makes OU look pretty scary. Damn
Congrats Houston Hurricane
I would love to see JJ
You got him...Man, he looked pretty solid.
oh please, i didn't say anything any other canes fan hasn't witnessed this season.Uh, Kas, I don't know what kind of fan you are; however, your predictions are not worth sh%&.
They just got pushed around in the first half and frankly they look scared. Facing a bad Miami team whose swagger is as stale as a french fry under the driver's seat.
