Dak and co. continue to impress. Dan seems to be making better coaching decisions and things are continuing to come together. I'm beyond proud of our boys for keeping the tempo and energy up through the whole game. Hell - even the fans stayed in it once we were solidly in the lead.

Like any good team, you have to keep getting better. My thoughts for focus items for the next week on both sides of the ball:

Offense - Dak and the guys absolutely rolled yesterday. Everything worked and Dan even threw some aggressive stuff there at the end. The only item I guess I could really point out is just cleaning up some of the passing game. This really is the only thing due to lack of a better option. O Line was solid. Run game was good. Most of Dak's passes we on and the receivers made some really good grabs.

Defense - I hope we continue to work our D backs. They have continually improved through the year and are getting in better positions a lot more. Still can get better there. We were fortunate on some of the A&M dropped passes. We would have made the tackles quickly on most of those if they connected but there were a few that would have gone for long yardage.

Neither of these is meant to take away from the win. We had another dominating performance against the second top 10 team in a row. We just can't get satisfied. Auburn looks to be the best team we will have played yet this year. Should be another passionate game. Us, as fans, need to make this another awesome atmosphere next week and keep supporting our guys.

Teams have dropped passes against us all year. At what point does it have to do with our hitting these receivers.

Exactly. Receivers drop passes when they're getting the snot knocked out of them every time they touch the ball.

This probably contributed to at least a few drops in both games. We may not be world beaters in coverage, but our defense, front to back, is the most physical in the sec. It's not even really close.

There was a point where my brother texted me saying, "The Aggie receivers are scared to catch it." He might have been right. To me the whole team looked like they just wanted to pack up and get back on the bus by mid 3rd quarter.

Some drops against aTm also had something to do with pressure. A few of the drops weren't great throws due to pressure.

Like someone already said, our D is very physical. All 30 of them.
