The boys are back for Episode 25.15 of Tres Amigos — and this one is loaded. We start with story time from College Station and finish with how the Aggies go win in Austin.
Matt and Seth recap their midweek trip to Elko’s radio show at Rudy’s (standing room only), meeting some awesome listeners, and getting a quick moment with Coach himself. From there, we roll into a “Good, Better, Best” breakdown of the Samford game and then dive DEEP into how Texas A&M matches up schematically with Texas on both sides of the ball.
On offense, we talk about development under Elko, why guys like Daniels, Morrow, Tiger, Brady Hart, and Tyler Thomas matter so much for the future, and why KC Concepcion’s slot slant game is pure NFL tape. On defense, we talk about what we learned from the shutout, depth, and why Elko still coaches like it’s 0–0 in the 4th quarter.
Then it’s all about them:
– Why Texas lives in Cover 3 and how their “bend but don’t break” defense is quietly giving up a ton of chunk plays
– Where Colin Simmons and Anthony Hill are absolute dudes… and where the Horns don’t have last year’s juice up front
– How their offense is built on horizontal stretches, bubbles, nows, RPOs and deep shots off that action
– Why their run game and interior OL are the weak link — and why Hicks/Regis/Onyedum could decide the whole night
We also hit:
– Why Marcel HAS to be the “point guard,” not the hero ball Heisman candidate
– Surviving the Sark script AND A&M’s bad second quarters
– Special teams keys: Casey as a game-breaker, why we should NOT punt to their returner, and why Banks is absolutely coming after a punt
– Score predictions and players of the game: interior DL, KC, and yes… Coach Elko himself
If you’re an Aggie who loves Xs & Os, culture talk, and honest coaching perspectives, this one’s for you.
