I hope ASU breaks 40 just for the sake of PAC 12 reputation.

I don't give two shits about that and love watching other Pac 12 teams shit the bed. Until my team is good and playoff committee time comes around, then it pisses me off...

Awful play calling by NMSU

For the most part I can't disagree with this. There are very few conference opponents I want to do well.

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Lol ASU missed an extra point that would have put them up 11

Yeah I feel ya. I'm one of the few people that will admit that I root for a conference. Conference reputation probably matters in the PAC 12 more than any other conference. I like to root for west coast football.

Noice

Unless it's BYU.

Nothing wrong with that. I'm mostly indifferent. I don't necessarily root against any team but Oregon. I don't mind seeing other teams do good out of conference, I get that it helps in general, but I still get a kick out of them embarrassing themselves.

 

[TheDayMan]

Yeah, looks like they finally got this under control.

 

[The Derski]

Every time the announcer says "Rodgers" I instinctively look for Aaron Rodgers avoiding injury. It's giving me a heart attack.

 

[The Derski]

Yep..... I knew this would be exactly like the OSU game.

 

[TheDayMan]

Hmmmm

 

[TheDayMan]

Something I'll never understand, when you have to get a certain number of yards in a situation, like 3rd/4th down or going for 2, why would you throw short of that distance?

Obviously I get the point is to then run to at least what you need, but why? Is there anything more frustrating than seeing a guy get jacked as he catches the ball on the 2 yard line when going for 2?

 

[TheDayMan]

Jesus...how embarrassing to let them score at the end...

 

[Cave_Johnson]

Holy shit Tyler Rogers had himself a game. Thought for sure if NMSU got this thing close it would have been due to Larry Rose. Looks like a lot of the 550 yards was in garbage time but still, damn.

 

[scuttlebutt]

Damn, does "almost" count? I know the score doesn't truly represent the game itself but damn.
I hope this bodes well for the Aggies and becomes a catalyst toward a successful season and I know you college football lovers will keep an eye on the Aggie scores the rest of the season. They play at Ark this year as well and that game will allow for a fair comparison.

So I had to get off here as a few buddies ended up joining me to finish off the game.

Our defense is terrible. I'm still dumbfounded how you can be so bad in the secondary. It's not like this team doesn't have talent, because they do. But time and time again we get torched and have to play in this shoot out type of game against much inferior opponents. Damn it does feel good to wake up undefeated, but this is set up to be an awful season if we don't get our shit together. We have TT in 2 weeks and they may light us up for 100 points even without Maholms.

I'd be worried. Beyond your defense and the obvious concerns, just the attitude of that team would concern me. They let the game end with NMS just lobbing a 25 yard touchdown with no time left. Then in his walking off interview graham was quick to point out they had #2s in for a while. I'm glad you're okay with your 2nd team not caring and just laying down for a game ending score, big guy...

Man, I'm worried. Re-read what I post. If this team doesn't improve, we will get 2-3 wins max.
