Re: Love's new teamate
I was most impressed with Josh Jacobs before he got his big raise with the Raiders. His average YPC dropped from about 5 to 3.5 from 2022 to 2023. Maybe he had a down year with the Raiders, but hopefully, he'll pick it back up for Love and GB. The Raiders QBs were Jimmy Garoppolo and Aiden O’Connel...

Re: What an accomplishment
Is this the best season of Aggie basketball ever? Kinda feels like it could be. With the level of competition we have faced, I think this is definitely the best Aggie basketball season ever.

Not getting into the weeds so deep.

As I watch the season play out, I'm trying to change my mind set. Sure, we want to win out ...

Here in Niner country everyone is in lockstep with Shanahan. How can you not be? He's a winner, but IMHO his arrogance is over the top.

One of the other things that can easily be done with a 3 3 5 is essentially a 5 man front too that can on certain calls really limits the run/pass read responsibilities of everyone and thus eliminate some of the disadvantages of only six defenders via both pre-snap disguise and easy run/pass assign...

Only fair. We have the end of season stats and the games are still fresh. Hire an OC to call plays. Run a pro-style offense. No more up-tempo unless we're behind by 3 scores. Line our WR's up normally (away from the out of bounds line) so that DB's have to cover our WR's running pass routes both way...

Re: DC Hire
Nmsu ran a 3-3-5 last year. 👀 Meh maybe as a basic concept. If you watch their film it looks more like a 4-3, 4-2, or 3-4. I've brought this up on the board before, very few good coaches in today's game run a true base defense. I would say 80% of the time the weakside backer is lined up as a stand ...
