    When it rains it pours...

    To say the Aggie OL has been subpar would be a major understatement.
    For gosh sakes, they've given up 21 sacks so far this year, and that's with a big mobile QB and NOT playing the better defenses on our sched.

    Injuries have kept the group from gaining any cohesion, and now it's actually getting worse.

    It looks like at least 3 starters will miss the game against Iowa St, which probably means ANOTHER freshman will play.

    Trivia: What's the WORST position to play a Fish???

    :cry:

    Gonna have to go some to set the NCAA record for sacks given up. The Irish set the record last year 58.

    Got anything to do with a fish out of water???

    BTW, I agree on the avatar/dizzy issue... but just think how it made the person getting hit feel!

    58??? That's insane!

    I bet we make 40 easy, unfortunately...
    :cry:

    Tom, Fish = Freshman


    That avatar is what is affectionately referred to as "The Hit" by Aggie fans.

    That was the same Wrecking Crew bunch that dislocated both of Ty Detmer's shoulders.

    Back then, few receivers would cross the middle against our defense.

    That kid for TCU tried, and was knocked unconcious with a jaw broken in 3 places...

    Yeah we didn't suck without good reason last year. Clausen spent most of his team running, or ducking, for his life.

    I have to agree that playing youth along the Oline is really hit or miss and I can't think of a worse spot to play freshman.

    They sure did, which also explains why they started slow but picked up steam over the course of the year.


    I believe one of those guys it out this year though.
