Pool tackling and bad offensive play calling it's the two things that stick out to me in this game Or was it poor execution by the quarterback because I saw with my own eyes a number of players open on shallow routes and no one even looked their way. But this is what you get from a young team especially at the skill position it's not always the OC's fault.

What stood put to me was that we played a bigger, faster, stronger & more talented team.
Won't look like that next week against nccu.

I thought the same thing. We should pull out All Stops with fan experience, sound-stage Kid's stuff on the practice field next wknd. We must get returning families to the games.

Remember, the Official Attendance figure is never the actual number of fans in the stadium/arena. People with tickets don't have to be there to be included in that figure.
That figure is:
>Season tickets sold >Complimentary season tickets issued >Single-game tickets sold >Complimentary tickets issued >Students admitted with IDs >Band members admitted in uniform >Cheerleaders admitted in uniform

>Season tickets sold >Complimentary season tickets issued >Single-game tickets sold >Complimentary tickets issued >Students admitted with IDs >Band members admitted in uniform >Cheerleaders admitted in uniform Who cares about their numbers in attendance. A&T got paid and the players and coaches got experience. But one thing that is fact the football team and out of conference competition as far as attendance goes cannot stand alone without the band. The band is an attraction to FBS/ fcs pwi fans more so than our football team. If the band would have accompanied the football team you would have seen a significant boost in a number of fans in attendance. Regionally without the band we draw decent numbers and out of conference competition, but nationally the band brings significant numbers among PWI fan base. It is what it is For now .

I posted this in the 7 A&T FB groups where I post athletics info.
Aggies,
I'm back, AGAIN this year (2023), to talk some of y'all off the ledge, get your knickers out a bunch, etc. (10 things):
- Remember this: When a team plays a team in a higher division it's DOUBTFUL that they'll win, but POSSIBLE. We've won 3 out of the 10 or more that we've played.
- We played a pretty good upper level (FBS) team.
- They played their starting QB, virtually, the WHOLE game. Something VERY SELDOM seen when upper level teams play lower level teams and are winning by multiple scores. Their last drive/score was NO CLASS.
- This was the 1st game for our new coaching staff & it was our starting QB's 1st start in at least 3 yrs.
- We had a WHOLE NEW starting defensive line, which will look better this week.
- 2 of our best players (RG Korion Sharpe & WR Ger-Cari Caldwell) didn't play.
- A silver lining was that we were able to get a lot of work on our running game, which I expect to be dominant on 9/9.
- Don't be too concerned about our passing game because of what we did in the item above this one (running game).
- I'm gonna GUARANTEE you that we will not look like that against the flamingos/buzzards/GV A&T/nccu because they are NOT bigger, faster, stronger or more talented than us.
- If you don't know already, a WHOLE LOT of stars lined up for them last year. In a nutshell, they got LUCKY.
That's all...for now.
Relax, Relate, Release
Aggiely, A&T-roy

We played a more experienced team that played and executed their system . Now if A&T doesn't learn or haven't learned to execute and use the tools within our system properly, the same things could happen again. Never under-estimate your opponent . You dominant your opponent to leave no questions.

I'm looking forward to this weekend, and a very competitive game with the Birds. Based on the press conference, no one knows where we lacked more than Coach Brown does, and I do believe we'll be ready to play.

UAB is hanging tough with GA in the 1st half held them to 65 yards rushing . Let's see what they do in the 2nd half .
