Jimbo also said after the game that the backups need to play better.

They got much needed reps... that's all that matters right now. As Jimbo says, "you need time in the saddle"

Remember how bad some of the starters were looking through 5 games? Now look at them. Progression from game experience.


Because all of the has beens and never were's here have o find somerhing to moan and wail about.

My only complaint is bring in the backups with 4 minutes left in third. Have half the starters and half backups for multiple series before sending out only backups. Give them a chance at live snaps with the better more experienced players.

Are you defending the backups performance somehow?

They need the reps because they looked pretty bad.

Ohio State put in their back-ups today and continued to dominate against Indiana.

Just want the best for A&M. These back-ups are still higher rated recruits than South Carolina starters. No need for them to play as bad as they did tonite.

When this is the main topic of complaints for the night, it is a pretty good night

Mixing backups in with 1's and 2's is one thing. Putting all backups in at one time is obviously going to make every backup look severely unprepared. He's challenging them to work hard, but he isn't ripping them behind closed doors.

Backups (call it 3rd string) played poorly and even Jimbo stated he was 'disappointed' in their play during presser. Said we'll need them for the stretch run and they have to het them better.

Good god.

True freshman and walkons looked nervous and didn't play as well as the starters.

The horror.

I'm never going to complain about a 44-14 victory, or 3rd and 4th stringers giving up some garbage time points.

But I do like that Jimbo has the same expectations for backups as he does for the 1's and 2's.

Backups need to play smarter, also. 30 yards of penalties on one play is not very smart. Essentially gave SC a TD. Not making tackles, need to fire out on offensive line, contain on D. I was not impressed at all with the backups.

People if he never gives them reps in games they never can get better. You don't put the whole backup crew in all together and expect them to dominate. You rotate 4-5 of those guys in with starters when games are almost out of reach. Then you rotate the rest of them in with starters the next possession.

SC also had most of their backups in and they dominated ours, so there's that......

Jimbo also said the 1s and 2s played good. The 2nd team guys play throughout every game. You were seeing guys way dow the depth chart. Plus the gamecock defense was just teeing off knowing we were running every down. Defense did not look good late. But it was 44-0 and just basic D. But you guys had to find something to rant about in a blowout win.

This is all that the griefers have to point out...well, and Calzada is not a Heisman candidate...

Your backups can never get any better if they are never given live reps.
Don't care if they gave up garbage time points.

I thought their second QB looked a lot better than the first one. It appeared that way to me especially in passing skills.

Meh -

Once we no longer had the shutout, I didn't care if they played the cheer squad.

And we beat the spread, so Vegas is happy.
