Breaking down A&M vs. McNeese | TA Rewind w/ Billy Liucci, SEC Mike & More!

quite honestly David I was surprised that they didn't bench him and I'm not saying you know take he's not the starter anymore all right guys quick intro to the Tex haags rewind brought to you by specs I'm outside of the r Insurance studio uh we had the G with ol Buchanan we had The Final Countdown we had SEC Mike saying Vanderbilt higher on the rank or he'd take Vanderbilt over A&M right now on a neutral field good interesting take go interact with that uh on our techx live Twitter if you want to give your take here's it rewind all right so OB what are three things that you want to see well I think we all want to see start with Connor to see him be sharp of course even if he is then there going to come back to the the criticism or the critique well yeah but who it was against but you got Conor needs to be sharp Conor knows that U strong po I want to see uh a a strong running game uh you know real good run blocking and and running backs following they blocking and turn it you know get up big plays and then I want to see I want to see interceptions yeah I want to see turnovers I want to see a team uh with a a guy back there that can be a ball Hawk yep I want to see something similar I'll give you uh my spin on it I want to see a cool common collect Conor wigman the one that we usually see we did not see that against Notre Dame we saw a guy that everything was sped up right Beyond his feet he just just didn't look right body language the way he was playing I want to see a cool common collect Wiggy okay that's one I want to see some over-the-top plays I want to see not only separation from the wide receivers I want to see some big plays I miss big plays I want to see big plays okay and I I'd also like to see sacks plural I want multiple sacks it looks like the six killer is going to be the quarterback more more than likely there's a report out that um McDow Clifton McDow is a game trying to he's their running back or excuse me their quarterback who leads the team in rushing doesn't pass the ball very well he runs a lot he's only been sacked three times but that offensive line is not good I want to see the numbers I want to feel good it's you remember there was a game a couple years back where I think DVA and aain started slowly with the yards and I wanted to see a lot of yards and then he started picking it up and he started doing the things that's kind of what I want to see it was the first three games of that 2022 season season and then he turned it on right well that's kind of what I want to see from the sacks right I want to see scorton get three4 that's what I want to see will I see it we'll see and I'm going to add a fourth one okay I want to see guys that don't normally play play okay I think you will yeah I think you'll see a lot of those if it's the kind of game that it should be um your starters will probably be out of the game no later than Midway through the third quarter I get it you you lose by double digits we we are getting as is Mike ELO even a worthy coach I mean people people are going overboard after one week I I'm not going anywhere near that but just I think the main takeaway for me is I have never in my life have I watched Notre Dame look like it has better athletes than an SEC team that going up against and I I think that's the biggest takeaway is where where are all these athletes for A&M I I saw no separation from virtually any receivers that's not that's not on wigman but quite honestly David I was surprised that they didn't bench him and I'm not saying you know take he's not the starter anymore I'm not saying don't let him finish the game but maybe for a series or two like let him sit on the sidelines read from you know talk to the coaches do something they they had to mix something up and they just didn't and I clearly it looked like the head coach lost confidence in in Conor throwing the football we all have seen the clip I assume and I think the offensive coordinator lost confidence in in the Aggie's ability to block anybody and run the ball so it was just a Calamity on the offensive side of the football So when you say they lost by 10 yes but it was a tie game with a minute 50 right so it was desperation I guess my issue with the way the game ended was that final series the final real series right they just weren't on the same page that being said I gave them a little Grace because it had been a year and I know Riley Leonard has been a year too so and Riley Leonard looked solid no doubt about that and I also think think the Notre Dame game plan was fantastic but you're not going to learn too much about A&M this week but is there something against MCN that Connor can do to make you be like all right that's the guy that I saw last year I mean he's just got to look a lot more comfortable in this offense I he outside of the first drive or two I mean it it just didn't seem he was at all comfortable I think he was seeing ghost back there in the second half particularly uh you know we got to see some of these I want to see explosive plays I don't recall a single explosive play that wasn't called back by penalty uh against Notre Dame so again May that probably says a lot more about Notre Dame than anything but uh this should be a shellacking I want to see some of these other backup quarterbacks and and just see what they look like in this offense Conor is he was the guy throughout Camp he came out of spring as the guy he performed at a really high level during and got better and better during Camp as it went on that's why I was really surprised by his performance because he was kind of ascending in the last couple weeks before kickoff I think getting that question like did he really look good at camp or you guys no really why but why like what's the what's the benefit like I think Marcel Reed can is going to be a really good quarterback I really do I think he's got some special Tendencies but if you went and watch them that team practice that's your QB right now it's Conor wigman and by the way we've seen Conor wigman look pretty damn special in games against Power five teams uh couple instances against good power fives you're only as good as your last start and so Conor needs to go out and you know play well in his next start it's that simple but I'm just telling you and I don't you could throw any of those three guys against MCN Saturday including Conor and they should go off all right so do I think Conor in um yeah I think I look what what Kansas state has done when Colin Klein was a player what he was doing with a guy like Avery Johnson who's a young who's a kind of breakout freshman last year there's definitely a benefit to having a quarterback that can really run in that system but Colin Klein and any any real OC well all as you guys know this better than anybody you played for how many different quarterbacks you will alter the offense to fit your quarterback skill set more so than any position on the field and by the way I personally would like to see Connor run a little bit I know that people would maybe even Elco and and Klein would be like oh no no you don't not not because he can't run but because you don't want to get him hurt but I felt like there were times he could have pulled it yep and kept it you know on that mesh the other night night yeah I've seen him you saw him in high school he's not going he's not going to go out there and run a 4 five but he's got field vision and can run and knows when to take off and go I've seen him do it you just mentioned something that I don't know the answer to this if if the coaches he's went for 92 yards in a game-winning touchdown against Lonnie he did he can run a little bit I don't know if the coaches expect him to run or not but if they're calling plays that they're supposed to he's supposed to at least have the option to to pull it and he always hands it off that doesn't make much sense to me so I hope the coaches expect them to run it if if they're going to run those types of plays yeah I put that on Conor I mean every High School in Texas is running that type of offense right now and if your quarterback never keeps it then they quit worrying about it and then that guy that that the quarterback's supposed to be reading is tackling your running back so yeah you do have to keep it every once in a while that's if that's the play call right what did you guys think I I G say this I just don't think we got any real indication of what this offense is going to look like I agree I just I'm sorry but I think it was a OC and a quarterback OC trying to feel out what he could do and I think that you'd say the same thing about Notre Dame I was just telling him the last time we saw Mike Den Brock Jaden Daniels is winning Heisman Trophy Malik neighbors and Brian Thomas are first round picks they're making every catch they're running Slants verticals Daniels is running wild their QB delayed draw I mean there's all he goes up there you didn't see any of that yeah because he had Riley Leonard not Jaden Daniels he had a new quarterback you're playing in a game that you knew immediately was a rock fight and that a big mistake by your offense or your quarterback against an aggressive defense could change the game and it finally did yeah and when Conor made those mistakes and I really think it was like we just need to hang in this thing and win it yeah I don't think you you saw A&M's offense at all I think you saw a really bad game by Connor and he admits it so that's fine he played bad and I think that the offensive line did a good enough job of providing a pocket for him to to do what he needed to do and he just uh got too nervous and overreacted at times and just played with no Poise and it was just a bad game by him what you think of the o line I I thought the o line played pretty well um I really did I mean I thought we we covered guys up well on the run plays you know we didn't have a lot of negative yardage runs yeah pass protection was solid yeah we gave up a little bit of pressure here and there but you know Conor had time to throw the ball so you couldn't you couldn't go back and watch that game and say man that was the offensive Line's fault all right like comment subscribe see you [Music] n [Music]
