--WR Howard Morrow drew a celebration penalty for a salute following a fourth-quarter touchdown in the win against Iowa State. Texas A&M observed Military Appreciation Day and Morrow wanted to do his part, noting that his father, stepfather and grandfather all served in the armed forces. "I have a lot of respect for them," said Morrow, "because I couldn't do it."

--P Ryan Epperson did not have to trot on to the field against Iowa State. Texas A&M never attempted a punt as QB Jerrod Johnson engineered touchdowns on five of his seven possessions. Johnson even chided Epperson afterward. "Jerrod made a smart little comment to him," said WR Jeff Fuller. "Jerrod told (Epperson) that he played good."

--The 25-point victory margin against Iowa State was the largest for Texas A&M in a Big 12 game since 2005 against Oklahoma State. A&M recorded back-to-back 20-point victory margins in Big 12 play for the first time since 2002 (Baylor and Kansas).

GAME BALL GOES TO
QB Jerrod Johnson -- When Texas A&M can effectively run a balanced attack, Johnson is a dangerous multi-threat. He completed 23 of 28 passes for 234 yards and three touchdowns, and he also added 33 yards on 11 rushes against Iowa State. In two games against the Cyclones, Johnson is 54 of 67 for 615 yards.

KEEP AN EYE ON
LB Garrick Williams -- Recorded one of two sacks for Texas A&M, a credible total considering Iowa State had allowed just four sacks total coming into the game. Williams was in on 11 tackles and also forced a fumble.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"We made some big (defensive) plays when we needed to. The guys are becoming better ballhawks, and we've really been practicing that. We gave up one or two big plays, but nothing that killed us." -- Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman.

So normally on our short week before the game against t.u. we go stomp on Baylor to feel good about ourselves.  I just noticed that Baylor moved up a week and we now have Nebraska the 5 days before.  I personally am not to worried since I know we are getting better and feel that to be the best you have to beat the best.  Any thoughts positive or negative?

Corey Neslon took an official trip to Oklahoma this past weekend with 5 star recruit Jackson Jeffcoat. From what I've read and heard, Bob Stoops is wanting to hire Jackson's father, former Dallas Cowboy Jim Jeffcoat, as defensive line coach, further insuring that Jackson would want to play for his father.

Any of yall hear anything about Dat Nguyen? My brother showed me a espn article the other day that said that he was leaving dallas despite being offered a raise, because he wanted to do more hands on coaching and Dallas was keeping him to mostly clerical work. Anyways it also mentioned that A&M might look to bring him on, which would be amazing but I havent seen or heard anything for a couple ...(more)

Well it is offical Von Miller has made his announcement about his senior year, and he has decided to return to A&M.  This of course is good for our pass rush, I just hope he can work on his run stop.

Here's a story in the Boise paper today. Of course, unconfirmed.

Boise State defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox is expected to interview for the same position at Texas A&M, the Austin (Texas) American-Statesman reported Tuesday. The report is based on an unnamed source within the Texas A&M athletic department. The newspaper reports that Wilcox and Air Force defensive co

I personally believed that the out come of this game would have no impact whatsoever on A&M so, I went with tradition and was rooting for Alabama. My two favorite teams are A&M and whoever is playing t.u.

That being said, I was sorry to see Colt go out so early. I really saw the game unfolding with colt sprinting for a first down on third and long.... except that instead of slid

You know, looking at A&M's 2010 recruitment list, its one of the most complete lists of incoming recruits that I can remember. We nailed our weaknesses (Offensive line, DT, LB's, and raw athleticism) bottom line. We have a bunch of fresh new quarterbacks that will probably be redshirted and taught by Jerrod and a year of Tannehill. We have brusing, physical running backs to complement our quic ...(more)

Tech's new coach is Tubberville.  Let me know what you all think of this.  Is it good for A&M or bad?

If you subscribe to AGGIE YELL! on Rivals.com, you know where I'm going with this....

I put this on the Toney Hurd JR. thread as well, but now it appears there are TWO, not one, defensive Gems that have either emerged lately with good showings in their respective State Championships or were already a top prospect according to ESPN, Rivals, Max Preps, and other sites.
