…and likely will go 12-0 or better….

We are a match-up nightmare on both offense and defense…
Not the biggest, but incredibly fast…

"Miami in their hey-day" fast…

Speed kills…

Nah. I think it's because I sold all my season tickets to a buddy for the year after getting frustrated. I'm apparently the bad luck for the program hahaha

I thought it was because I haven't shaved or trimmed my beard since July

My theory is that we are 9-0 because we have won 9 games and lost zero.

I think Marcel staying healthy is a huge reason too.

When was the last time our starter made it through the whole season? Mond in 2020? Seems like every other season, a starter gets hurt and/or benched and then goes to the portal.

Elko killed it in the portal
Very few injuries

KC and Mario get my vote. Their play has been spectacular. We hit the jackpot when we got those 2.

No injuries in areas where we lack depth.

7 of our 9 wins were by 17+ points, including 4 of 6 SEC wins. I think Elko nailed the transfer portal, and he makes great halftime adjustments. Tommy Moffitt has been instrumental to our success too because he has improved our strength and conditioning program dramatically.

Tommy Moffitt is huge reason for our success as well. I see over and over in interviews with the players that in the second half other teams' players are tired and worn out and our guys are still going strong. There is no doubt he has made our strength and conditioning better program wide.

We've outscored everybody we've played. That'll win you a lot of games in this league!

I think Elko said it best, complementary football.

If defense is tough sledding, offense needs to get on the ball.

If the offense is struggling, the defense needs to get up.

This is a very special team and I'm very bullish on every team Mike Elko builds here having the same toughness.

Totally agree. Best shape any Aggie team I've seen. The guy is simply the best.

I remember the massive second-half collapses under Sherm. And we saw it (to a lesser extent) over and over again. This is the first season i can remember when we're actually getting better after halftime. And it's a great feeling.

This. In years past it was hope to get out to a big enough lead in the first half to survive the collapse in the 2nd half. I can't recall how many double digit leads disappeared in the 2nd half. That is where BAS really started to set in.
This team under Elko has flipped it. Now it feels like if the Aggies keep it close in the 1st half they will easily pull away in the 2nd half.

Speed kills…

In the 1988 Cotton Bowl, we beat Notre Dame with Tim Brown, a Heisman Trophy winner.

Lou Holtz stated after the game that the reason they lost was due to speed or the lack of.

So he recruited speed and Notre Dame won an NC in 1989.

The overwhelming majority of comments I get from friends that support other CFB Teams is, "Man the Aggies are fast".

It's either War Damn Grackle, The Potato (TM), the Guy on the Toilet, Ringy, Rev With One Eye, or Mantis Shrimp

I like to think they all come together to form sort of a Super Friends group

Yep. The fanbase has bought in to an undefeated season. It was fun while it lasted.

We are 9-0 bc of Elko and Klein. S&C doesn't have some novel approach

It's a team sport including the coaches. We have a very talented roster and great coaches especially Elko !

Reasons we are 9-0 in no order:

-PORTAL
-healthy capable O-line. Same starting 5 for all 9 games.
-WRs who can run routes and like to block downfield.
-2 TEs (who are actually utilized) who can block and catch.
-defensive front 7.
-DBs who can cover.
-LBs who are good enough.
-PORTAL

We've had good to great recruiting classes (on paper), but this is by far the most balanced roster we've had in a long, long time.

How much of that is due to improved S&C?

Or are we 9-0 because some poor b*stard has been sitting on the toilet since August?

So all future Revs need to be one-eyed. Done.
