    Like somebody said earlier, "U Take-Em Points." Clearly, we can cover; Herman just won't. He'll lay it off on, "Well, we have to get the younger guys some PT. With this covid thing, you never know when you'll have to play 'em." Then, if pressed, he'll have more explanatory coach-speak. But the truth is, running it up's just not in his DNA.

    It’s UTEP.  As somebody else mentioned, if our backups aren’t running it up on them, we have a problem.  Herman can be as conservative a he wants to be in second half, our players are still going to score and UTEP isn’t going to be scoring.

  2. RJ stays on at running back, forming a high quality 3-deep with Ingram and Bijan.  

    Whittington is moved to WR to help fill in the voids left by the losses of CJ and Duvernay.

    We beat LSU at their place and we beat OU in Dallas.  We Probably drop a game (or two) that we shouldn’t, but we still play in the big12ccg (and probably win).  We are in the discussion for a CFP spot, but probably fall short of actually getting one.  

    We End our season in the sugar bowl again, this time against Florida.  We win that game; and herman expands his perfect bowl record And improves to 3-0 against the SEC in the post season at Texas.  

    Herman remains HC. Major hype builds for 2021.

  3. Aggy would have been a middling big 12 team in 2012, just like they were every year as a member of this conference.  A big part of the reason for Aggy success in 2012 was that the SEC was still in the offensive Stone Age, but that year finally had to play against a team every week with an explosive quarterback and high powered offense.  Because Aggy wasn’t bringing a garbage offense to the conference, the sec mythos of “elite defenses” could only be masked for so long.

  4. Just to breathe a little life into futureman’s prediction, 10 wins is actually still possible.  If Baylor loses to Kansas, we are almost certainly in the big xii ccg (assuming we beat Baylor and tech).

    It’s not as unlikely as you might think.  If we beat Baylor, they could tailspin.  Kansas has les miles and won’t be going to a bowl game, so ending their season with Baylor at home will be their super bowl and they’ll play with nothing to lose.  We had Kansas in the same spot last year and nearly lost to them, and they are better this year. Then factor in that Baylor should have lost to tech and that tech literally did lose to Kansas.  “But it’d be an epic collapse of Baylor to lose to Kansas,” you might say.... well they displayed their ability to collapse epically this weekend. The dam may have already broken.
