Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome to another edition of Pigskin and Burt Ends,
the Texas based college football program for you. We've got
a lot to discuss today in is episode three, as

tremendous drama, and already quite a few upsets even here

We're going to talk a little Houston Cougar's. We've got
Texas Longhorns. What is up with Arch Did he fall
off the top of the mountain again? Of course, the
SMU Mustangs, Texas Tech Red Raiders are still rolling. Can

So lots lots of action. Get into this week, boys
and girls, we are going to talk Aggie's, as I mentioned,
the biggest maybe the biggest story, not just for Texas
based college football programs, but maybe around the country as
they head to Notre Dame, to South Bend and walk
out with a surprising w to some maybe not so
surprising to others, But we'll get into that a little
bit later in the show. I wanted to start things
off fear, boys and girls with our good friend Deon
Sanders Coach Prime. Up. There were those Colorado Buffaloes as
the Houston Cougar's defeat the Colorado Buffaloes and Coach Prime
at home in Houston thirty six to twenty. It was
another coming out party for one Connor Wigman, the former
Texas A and m Aggie's great At least we thought
he was going to be when he signed with the school.
But now he's onto bigger and better things for him,
probably a better fit as I think I said it
last week when we were talking about Connor Weigman and
the Cougars, that that was I think the version of
Connor Wigman that the Aggies thought they were going to
get that Jimbo was trying to get up there at
Texas A and M. It just never panned out due
to injuries. But he is living his best life right
now playing his best football with the Cougars. He had
two hundred and twenty one yards, he ran for another
eighty three yards and two touchdowns, both of those career
highs for him as he leads Houston over the Buffaloes.
The Cougars were up by five late in the third quarter.
Dean Connors ran eighteen yards to get them to the
one yard line. Wigman scored on the next play to
make it twenty six to fourteen. Blake Thompson intercepted Ryan
Stobb on the first play of the fourth quarter, but
the Cougars could not cash in on that mistake after
Ethan Sanchez missed a fifty yard field goal attempt. A
lot of miss field goals again this week in college football,
by the way, Houston was forced or Houston forced Colorado
at punt Weigman made it thirty three to fourteen when
he scored on a seven yard run that was set
up by a beautiful fifty four yard pass to Steven
Johnson to play later. It was Ryan stobbs first start
of the season after he decided to remain with the
Buffalo's program. Of course, he played behind sher Sanders the
past two seasons. I've heard he's had transfer offers. I
heard he didn't have transfer offers. Whatever the situation was,
he decided to stay there in Colorado in Boulder and
play for coach Prime. But he finally gets his chance
to go under center. Things started out a little sketchy
for him. I wasn't that impressed. I don't know that
Dion was that impressed. He was even the third string
to start the season, behind, of course, their five star
freshmen Julian Lewis. But here in the start this week
after coming into the game last week throwing a couple
of touchdown passes in the win over Delaware. He went
nineteen to thirty four or nineteen to thirty five rather
for two hundred and four yards and a touchdown, but
he could not get the offense going in the second
half as Colorado managed just six points after halftime, and
he was intercepted twice. Dion went off after the game
if he saw this anywhere on social media or on
any of the college football programs on the network, they
played this video a few times elsewhere, that he could
believe how how bad his team played in that game
after the way they prepared. The problem I have with
this is I didn't see Deon taking any credit or
blame for the loss. All he seemed to focus on
was was how well he had them prepared and how
miserably they performed. I don't like hearing that as a coach.
And I said it going into the season for coach
Deon Sanders, that this will be kind of a telling
season for him because this is finally his team. Now,
this is his third year. It's his it's his team,
and it's his program. These are the players that he wanted.
His kids are gone. He doesn't have Sadu under center anymore,
so we will see what kind of coach Deon Sanders
is without his kids. He's one and two. He's zero
and one now in the conference, in the Big twelve,
and I you know, again, I haven't watched every single
game I'm a Colorado fan, I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan,
so I loved Dion when he was here. I just
never thought that that would translate to coaching. And we
know what he did at Jackson State. You know, say
what you want about that. I just don't like the
look I'm getting getting from him as a head coach
now in this football season. And we will see, we
will see if he's able to turn things around. I
didn't see anything promising from his football team at all,
including the coaching and the play calling. He's got a
lot of big names up there as far as x
NFL players go, but I just I haven't seen anything
to give Colorado Buffalo's fans hope that this thing is
going to get better. We hope it does. We hope
it does for for Dion and for the kids and
everybody involved with that program. He usedtill let thirteen to
nothing early on after scoring on its first three possessions.
Colorado cut the lead to thirteen to seven when Simmy
and Price capped a ten play, ninety three yard drive
with a thirty eight yard touchdown run with about seven
and a half minutes left in the half. A field
goal by the Cougars made it sixteen to seven with
less than two minutes remaining in the first half, but
the Buffalo's out there to touchdown just before halftime to
get the score to sixteen to fourteen. Stop scrambled nineteen
yards but fumbled before he crossed the goal line before
one of his players. I can't remember who it was
that jumped on the ball. Maybe it was Atkins, maybe
I believe to go ahead and score the touchdown. And
you don't like the way stob reacted to that. He
was sure that he had crossed the line and just
jumped up and started celebrating as the ball laid on
the turf in the end zone right next to him.
And thankfully the other Colorado player jumped on it for
the Buffs rather than a Cougar's player. They ended up
getting the score. But I didn't like that look either.
I don't like the direction this Colorado Buffalo's team is
heading in case I haven't made that clear. But enough
about the Buffs. Houston Man again played very very well.
Connor Weigman is playing elite football right now, and he
should be. The Cougars have been playing well all season
three and oh now they're one and oh in the conference.
And look after wins against Steven F. Austin twenty seven
and nothing, you win at Rice right across town thirty
five to nine, and now you've beaten Colorado thirty six
to twenty in what was a close game midway through
the game. You now have Oregon State on their turf
on the twenty sixth, after a week off. That'll be
a late game obviously on the West Coast on ESPN,
though you do get national TV coverage because it's the
late game. And then you've got number seventeen Texas Tech
at home the week after that. So the schedule will
toughen a little bit for the Coup as we go
to get on into the schedule. But things certainly looking
up for Connor Wegman and those Houston Cougars. Let's get
into a little bit of Arch Manning talk, if we can, briefly,
boys and girls, because there is still a lot of
talk about Arch Manning and maybe he doesn't have it.
After the opening day loss at Ohio State fourteen to seven.
Manning struggled with the offense. He struggled and look, we've
been all up and down that performance. We don't need
to rehash that, but you know, I don't think that
was a proper representation of arch Manning's football, of his abilities.
Certainly we know he's better than that. That was just
a really really tough matchup for him and his team.
Then you go San Jose stay at home thirty eight
to seven, Man, you look great. This is the arch
Manning we thought we and see and he still had people.
Why did they only win thirty eight to seven? They
should have won by sixty. Well, you know what football's ared,
and it's not all. It's not eleven arch mannings on
offense and eleven arch mannings on defense. All right, it's
a team sport. There were other parts of the program,
of other parts of the team that didn't play very
well that day. You still win by thirty one. And
if you're one of those Longhorns fans that think that
wasn't good enough, then I don't know what to tell you.
That's on you. And then you struggle a little bit
again against UTEP at home twenty seven to ten. Your
final arch Manning runs for two touchdowns, but he seems
to once again struggle against a you know, and I
don't want to I want to say UTEP's not a
good team or they're not you know, obviously they're out
there trying like everybody else. They're not one of the
tougher programs you're gonna play this year, though, and Arch
Banning struggled with the passing game. He struggled to have
command of the offense. Again. I've heard people saying that
he looks like he's hurt. He's not hurt, guys, all right,
if he was hurt, we'd know it. Coach Sark would
not be playing him if he didn't think he was
one hundred percent and be able to perform like the
arch Manning we think is in there somewhere. He had
two first half touchdown runs in this game again as
they struggled to a seventeen point victory over UTEP. He
ran two yards for an early touchdown. He had a
five yard scoring run in the final seconds of the
half for fourteen to three lead. You led UTIP fourteen
to three at the half, and man, the boo birds
were out often, and the boo birds were out early
there at DKR in Austin. And that's I don't understand.
How do you boo your own I mean, unless you're
a Cowboys fan, How do you boo your own team
and boo Arch Manning in his own stadium. That is
just beyond me, Guys, I don't understand that in the
first half he's getting booed by the home team. Manning
admitted he didn't play well. He said he was frustrated.
He knows he's better. He said he was going to
lose sleep after Saturday's game. And you know what, he's
hundred percent right on all of those. And you should
lose some sleep, arch Manning, because maybe you should be
upstudying the playbook a little bit more. I don't know
what his study habits are. Guys. Sometimes we hear when players,
especially at the quarterback position, collegiately, hell even in the pros,
when guys have poor study habits, usually that leaks out somewhere.
I've never heard any of that with arch Manning. I
don't believe that's the case. But he certainly has not
lived up to his preseason hype as a Heisman favorite.
He certainly has not lived up to the high that
he received in the recruiting process, as every single school
in the world, maybe even in the Galaxy, was vying
for his services. Coach Sarks said after the game that
he thought Arch looked like he was maybe pressing some.
He admitted he missed some throws and he didn't understand why.
Sarks said, quote, I feel like we've done enough with
him to have a pretty good understanding of who he
is as a player and what he's capable of. I
know there's a lot of football in him that's high
level football end quote. So it sounds like coach Sark's
a little baffled as well. It sounds like maybe he
doesn't know what's going on in there, but whatever it is,
he needs to figure it out pretty quick. Because defensively,
the Longhorns played pretty well. They held the Miners to
just two hundred and fifty nine total yards, while the
Texas defense has allowed just four touchdowns all season. And
when you've got a defense that that's elite, you need
your offense to play just as well to especially a
program or like Texas, to give that team, you know,
if you want to be in the college football playoff again,
Arch is gonna have to play much much much better.
The offense, as a hole is gonna have to play
much much better. So the interesting aspect of this game, though, guys,
was UTEP quarterback Malachai Nelson. For those of you that
call that followed Texas football, that follow high school football,
you will remember Malachai Nelson's name in the same recruiting
class as Arch, and was actually rated higher than Arch
coming out of high school by some of the recruitment
websites by some of the analysts. But he has taken
a much different path to where he is. He started
his career at USC, he then transferred to Boise State,
and now he's at UTEP. I still think he's got
some really, really raw talent. I don't know that he'll
ever get that talent tapped into at UTEP. Certainly he
was fighting for playing time at USC, wasn't going to
start Boise State. He wasn't going to start. The reason
he's at UTUB is because he was promised the starting job.
He's got it. They're one and two, you know. I
thought maybe he played well enough to beat the Longhorns
on Saturday, but certainly his defense did not live up
to expectations for the Miners. So yeah, another questionable game
for Arch. I don't know what to tell you. The
Longhorns now will have Sam Houston State just another opponent
that they should probably beat by sixty. If the Longhorns
win this one, you know, thirty to ten, thirty three
to thirty something like that, that's just not a massive blowout.
People are gonna go nuts in Austin. Paul fine Bomb's
gonna go crazy. Not that anybody cares what Paul B.
Fine Bomb thinks. But coming up after that, they're on
the road at Florida to start their SEC schedule. Then
of course Texas OU on October eleventh, and you've got Kentucky,
Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Georgia, Arkansas, and then the Aggi used
to close out the season November twenty eighth, after Thanksgiving.
This schedule does not get easier after this week, and
they got to figure something out there in Longhorns Country.
Moving on, boys and girls, let's head over to the hilltop.
ASU rebounded from a two overtime loss to Baylor, What
a heartbreaker that was, to beat Missouri State twenty eight
to ten in Missouri State's first game as an FBS
level program. Kevin Jennings shined again two hundred and eighty
one yards a touchdown. TJ Harden ran for ninety six
yards and two more scores. As I was real, real
interested to see how this team was going to respond
after the loss to Baylor, a game they should have
I don't know that they should have manhandled Baylor, and
I don't want to diss on Baylor because I like Baylor.
Baylor is not at the level that SMU is, or
at least they're not supposed to be where SMU is
right now with talent. So this one kind of surprised me.
I think the you know that one. I think the
Bear and we talked about it a little bit last
week obviously on that show. I think the Bears kind
of snuck up on the Mustang. So I was real,
real anxious to see how they were going to rebound,
especially on the road in a game that was hyped
big time locally because again their first home game as
an FBS program for the Missouri State Bears. And we
know the last excuse me, the last time I out,
the Mustang certainly did not handle Bears very well. This
time it did end up a little bit better twenty
eight to ten. Again, Kevin Jennings, I thought played masterfully.
I thought the game plan was great. However, you had
a fourteen to ten halftime lead. It's kind of like
the the Longhorns game, right, It was like, this game's
way closer at the half than it should be. Let's
see what happens there at Robert W. Plaster Stadium in Springfield.
The rest of the Way and the Mustangs, while putting
up just two more touchdowns the rest of the Way,
held Missouri State scoreless in the second half. Twenty eight
to ten Year Final. I think everybody thought this one
was going to be a blowout, but it just goes
to show you, guys that football is hard and everybody's
out there playing, and yes, there are gonna be your blowouts,
for sure, but I think more times than not you
get games like this. They're certainly more fun to watch.
I mean, even if you're on the side that's supposed
to be blowing out the other opponent. I think anyway,
it's more fun to watch. Maybe not for you, but
it looked like in the first half SMU was kind
of still stuck on the game from before the previous
week those Bears. But of course, in a game that
knocked the SMU Mustang's out of the top twenty five,
I don't know that your win against Missouri earns you
a spot back in the top twenty five, but I
think all in all, I was impressed with what I
saw in the second half, and that is the team
that you're going to need heading into the game against
TCU and Fort Worth, your crosstown rivals, another old Southwest
Conference rival. If you listen to this program a couple
of weeks ago, I'm an old Southwest Conference guy and
I absolutely love these matchups between the old Southwest Conference schools.
Missouri State heads to fcs U T Martin, while SMU
will play the second game on its Big twelve schedule
again at TCU and Fort Worth, and things don't get
a whole lot easier either for the Mustangs, as after TCU,
you're at home against Syracuse and Stanford, then you head
up and then Wake Forest on the road, then you
head to Miami back home. I'll probably be in attendance
of that game. If you guys would like to have
a Bruski at DC and then home against Louisville and
then on the road to wrap up the season against
cal So some stiff competition here coming up. You need
to do what you can do to take care of
teas syracusan stand for sure before that Clemson game. Try
to get a little bit of momentum headed into that.
Speaking of momentum, does anybody in the state, maybe in
the country have more momentum than Baron Morton and those
Texas Tech Red Raiders once again just rolling offensively. Another
weather delay. Wasn't the sixty five minutes that we had
in the first game there in Lubbock, but forty five
to fourteen over Oregon State. It's the last in the
three games series at home to open over the three
game stand home stand to open the season. They're going
to hit the road now and they'll be at Utah
number sixteen Utah on Saturday. That's an early kick eleven
AM on Fox. By the way, as I believe, Fox
Big Noone kickoff is broadcasting live from Utah with Texas
Tech there, so you'll get to see all those boys
on TV representing Utah in the Red Raiders. But you
are now. You didn't hit the sixties offensively like you
did in the first two games. You did hold your
opponent to fourteen, so you have held over three games.
Your defense has allowed just thirty five points, which is
impressive for the Red Raiders, as that is not what
we are used to seeing. I talked about it a
little bit after the win over Kent State, sixty seven
points against Arkansas Pine Bluff, sixty two against Kent State,
and then Oregon State you scored forty five and I
just think this offense is rolling. And I don't know
looking at the schedule. We'll look ahead at their schedule
here coming up in a little bit. But Baron Morton
again four TD passes, just looked looked on dealing with
some nagging injuries. I thought he played pretty well four
h and forty two yards. Jacobe Williams had had a
scoring catch and run as the Red Raiders just rolled
over the Beavers again with another weather delay. You wonder
if there's gonna start being talk of a dome in Lobbic.
Please know, just please don't do that to us, Please,
that would be horrible. Yeah, a two and a half
hour delay, just two and a half minutes into the game,
and it's almost like you'd rather see them just not
start the game. I heard them talking about this on
the broadcast. Would you rather than just not start the
game if you can foresee that? But we know the
weather happens quickly out there, and that's not always possible.
You can't see that. So once they got back on
the field, it was a two thirty local time kickoff.
They didn't hit the field again until almost six local time.
So congratulations to those who were sitting on your stale
tortillas in the stands that sat through that. Good job
by you. Cameron Dickie had a short ten run to
help the Red Raiders improved a three to zero for
the first time. And coach Joey McGuire's four seasons at
the helm Man It's hard to believe he's been there
four years already, but yeah, doing all the right things defensively,
Coy Eakin's playing really really well, Cablein Douglas is playing
really really well. I'm liking what I'm seeing. Again, the
schedule for the Red Raiders doesn't get easier. Number sixteen,
Utah will be their first real test on the road.
Then you've got Houston. We just talked about how Connor
Weakman's playing out there, and then you go to host Kansas,
then you head to Arizona State, home against Oklahoma State,
on the road at Kansas State, and then home against
BYU UCF and then you hit the road for West Virginia,
who's also playing very well right now. So thinking good
thoughts for Texas Tech because it's about to get a
lot tougher for them, But the way that offense and
defense is playing, I'm excited to see what they can
come up with. Let's head to Fort Worth now, and
I apologize for the sniffles. I hope you guys can
bear with me through that. Got kind of a late
summer cold. That's trying to try to grab my attention here.
Josh Hoover another big game, four touchdowns. TCU follows their
win over Bill Belichick in North Carolina by crushing Abilene
Christian forty one to twenty one. Hoover at three hundred
and thirty seven yards four touchdowns. I don't know if
you want to look. It was twenty eight to nothing
at the half. I was wondering if ACU was going
to get on the scoreboard at all. And then ACU
actually outscored the Red Raider or the Red Raiders the
Horde Frogs in the second half, putting up twenty one
points to the Red Raiders fourteen. But it's not the
second half score of the counts. It's the overall score
forty two to twenty one as the Frogs double up
the Wildcats. Josh Hoover again continuing his strong, strong play.
He's going to be the key to that offense the
rest of the way. You know, Sunny Dikes, I thought
has put together some strong game plans for these at
least the two games they've been in. I know the
North Carolina game was the one that got all the
hubbub look acus not a not a throwaway on the schedule. Okay,
they scared the crap out of Texas Tech first game
of the season a couple of years ago. They've got
some strong, strong players and a strong coaching staff, so
they're no, they're nothing to sneeze at, and I thought
handled it pretty pretty well. A lot of the credit
going to Josh Hoover and the offensive line there. Coming
up on TCU schedule again, you're gonna get more difficult
as we get in. Of course, they face su as
we just discussed, and they've got Arizona State, they head
to or they host Colorado, then head to Kansas State
host Baylor, head to West Virginia host Iowa State and
Rock Obec, and then they are on the road at
BYU at Houston and then wrap up the regular season
schedule at home against Cincinnata. So that's gonna get a
little more difficult obviously for the Frogs. Now, before we
get into your aggies, we got to give some proper
credit here, especially locally to where I live. Anyway. I
don't know where you guys are listening from. I am
in the Frisco area, broadcasting here as our fans. Stream
sports studio is in Dallas, but right up the road
for me, a school that I have grown up here
in the area, watch it and play dope. Not the Mustangs, Nope,
not the Frogs, not the Bears in Waco, not even
the Sooners up north a little bit, the North Texas
Mean Green over here in Denton, just right down the road.
What a show these boys are putting on. You win
your first game over Lamar fifty one to nothing, You
go on the road Western Michigan, you squeak that one
out thirty three to thirty, and then you come back
home against Washington State. Man, I don't know what has
happened to the Washington State program. I'm not look, I'm
not taking any credit away from the Meet and Green obviously,
but I don't know what what's happened to Washington State
as the Mean Green roll fifty nine to ten on
Saturday in just an embarrassment for the Cougars. How far
that program has fallen. It's incredible. They're in the Pac twelve,
they're two and one. But how do you go on
the road against a team that you're supposed to be
so much better than in the Mean Green who's three
and oh, by the way, three and oh third place
in the American Drew Mesta Maker two hundred and eleven yards,
four touchdowns. The score was forty one, sorry, forty two
to three at the half, before the Cougar scored in
the fourth and North Texas put up another seventeen in
the second half. Fifty nine ten again your final, But
the Mean Grade were scoring at will pretty much if
they had the ball, they were going to And if
you're the Meet and Green, if you're a fan of
North Texas, then things are going well for you. Now
look again, just like every team we've discussed, things aren't
gonna get much tougher for you, Meet and Green the
rest of the way. You play Army next week or
this week, you've got USF coming up. You've got South
Alabama after Army, then you've got USF. Those Bulls are
having a great, great season. I know they just lost
this week, but strong, strong team UTSA. We've already seen
what they can do. Charlotte Navy, UAB Rice Temple to
close the season out at home. But yeah, good things
for North Texas. I had to give them a shout
out on the show. We don't ignore them, but you know,
we have bigger schools to talk about and bigger fan
bases to to try to get to. But had to
give some mean green some love. All Right, boys and girls,
let's get into the game of the week, not just
by my standards, but by just about everybody's standards. As
the Texas A and m Aggies rolled in to South Bend,
and I'm not gonna lie as an Aggie, Uh, this
one had me a little bit concerned. I've watched Notre
Dame football obviously this season. Uh in their their previous
game against Miami that they lost, but I thought that team,
that team could beat the Aggies, especially at home, and
I fully expected that to happen. But that I've seen
something now this season out of Mike Elko's Aggie's there.
This is not Jimbo Fisher's aggies. And I'm not talking
about just the players, and even before Jimbo, this is
not the old aggis that would seemingly go in and
get overpowered even though you think they're better. Either play
down to the level of that opponent, or play up
to the level of their opponent and then give it
away at the end, as they did versus Alabama so
many times. I know they beat Alabama recently, but you
had some other games where you were right there, Haines King,
just throw an accurate pass in the corner of the
end zone and you beat Alabama again. But it wasn't
to me. But this is not those aggies, And I
don't know what it is if it's You know, Mike Elko,
when he first took over in College Station a couple
of years ago, he said that he wanted to change
the culture. Well, I think he's done it. And even players,
players that were on the roster at that time, said
this is a culture change. They said that that he is.
He is shifting focus, he is changing the cold and
he has done that, and this game was the perfect
example of that. You know, against UTSA, it's UTSA. You
win forty two to twenty four, you're supposed to win
that one. Against Utah State, you win forty four to
twenty two, you're supposed to win that one. Then you
play a top ten Notre Dame team in their stadium,
we know it's hostile territory that always has been for
the Aggies. And not only do you hang with Notre
Dame just about on every play, and look that first
block punt for a touchdown. With teams in the past,
I would have said, well, there you go. That's that's
that's going to be the story of the game right there.
They never got off out of the gates, and I
you know, at one point I would have thought, man,
this could be a blowout. Now that's gonna set the
life out of this team. The offense couldn't do anything.
They're already down before the defense even gets on the field.
But not this team. This team is different. And again
it's maybe it's the Mike Elko effect. Maybe it's the
culture that he is instilled in college station. Maybe it's
Marcel Reid who sometimes plays like he doesn't know that
he's not supposed to do certain things. And he sometimes
just makes it work. But man, I will tell you
that fourth down touchdown with thirteen seconds left before the
Randy Bond kick that gave them the win. That's the
same type of play, the same situation that we have
seen the Aggies in years before against a good team.
That was the same situation against Alabama, the one I
referenced with Haines king through the war pass of his career.
And it wasn't even close in the front right corner
of the end zone at Alabama. But it, Man, it
was the perfect play call. You had the perfect matchup.
It wasn't his primary Reid for Reid, you know? And
was there a little holding by the Aggies offensive line? Sure,
there's holding on every play. Do you always call him? No?
Did it affect this play? No? Because Reid was kind
of rolling to his left anyway. That guy wasn't gonna
get read anyway. That's probably why they didn't call it,
or they didn't see it, whatever the reason. But man,
how impressive was that? And how good if you're an
Aggie's fan, how good does that make you feel? Not
just that you got the win, but how you got
the win and that you were able to pull that
out in the final minutes. Your defense held, and of
course you had. We had a couple of streaks broken here.
It was the the Aggies had lost thirteen straight road
games to ranked opponents going back to twenty fourteen. It
was the first time to beat a top twenty five
team on the road. Sorry, that was twenty fourteen. You
haven't beat a top twenty five team on the road
since you beat number three Auburn in twenty fourteen. You
lost thirteen straight road games to ranked opponents before this,
and then I saw this was the first win for
the Aggies over a top ten non conference team since
nineteen seventy nine. I believe that was a Penn State win.
So a lot of history made here. Nobody cares about that.
It's fun to talk about, but all in all, this
win it's put the Aggies on the map. I mean,
the Aggies are always kind of on the map, but
kind of like not in the best place. You know.
They're still talking about this win on some of the
college football programs, and they should be. It's a big
win for the program, it's a big win for the SEC.
It's a big loss for Notre Name. By the way,
zero to two to start the year. How about that?
But Res and Reid's just getting better. Seventeen to thirty
seven for a career high three hundred sixty yards, two touchdowns.
Carver caught seven passes for a career high two hundred
and seven yards. That's the first two hundred and seven
yard receiving game by an Aggie since Mike Evans in
twenty fourteen or twenty thirteen, one of those years. So yeah,
there you go. The big news out of the game
Bryce Anderson's injury. As he was carted off the field
taking to the hospital after sustaining an injury with just
fifty eight seconds left in the first half. It did
not look pretty. He was carted off. He gave the
thumbs up as he was leaving, which was very encouraging,
very promising. Credit to the Irish faithful that we're on
hand to give him a standing ovation as he left
the field. I've been to some road stadiums where they
didn't exactly do that, so credit to the Irish fans
out there. And then we did. Hear he was at
the hospital the next day. He had full feeling in
all of his extremities, which was also obviously encouraging and
good news out of the Bryce Anderson camp after that injury.
I don't know. I haven't heard anything since then, but
we will continue to update that for you here on
the College Football Gridiron Coast to Coast network as well
as fans stream sports. So look a lot of happy,
happy scores around Texas, around college football, around the Big
Twelve and the SEC and we can't wait to get
back to it. So that will wrap it up for
us today. I do appreciate you guys hanging with us
here for forty minutes or however long we were here.
We do this every week, may start doing it twice weekly.
May have a recap program for you and then a
preview program for you, trying to see if we can
finaggle that for you to give you twice the pig
skin and burn ins, because honestly, I don't have time
to talk about the burn ins barely all these shows.
We still need to get into some food, some beverage,
some Texas barbecue. I would love to hear what y'all
thoughts on your favorite Texas barbecue, where that is or
why it's your favorite. We'll also get into some adult
beverages that we can pair with said barbecue things like
that and get into some fun stuff here on the
college football pig skin and burn ins. I am Indy,
cards him and until next time, boys and girls, we'll
see it
