I've heard directly from Elko that Moffitt is responsible for setting the culture of the team. He spends more time with the players than any other coach. Great! I assumed Moffitt was going to create some animals on the D-Line.
Then we all watch our own players, dropping on the field in the 3rd and 4th. Not just any field. Kyle Field. They practice and scrimmage in this heat and this was supposedly an advantage against ND. We saw the difference in the last 6 minutes of the game. No denying it. ND was better conditioned. I saw a few Moffitt comments immediately after the game but decided to lay low and keep my emotions in check.
So I just watched the ND vs NIU game highlights. ND craps the bed. NIU looked just as athletic and honestly more powerful than ND overall. So this got me thinking about Moffitt.
Seems a legit concern I know his history is quite impressive. I also know that Weig hopefully had the worst game we will ever see in the A&M uniform.
Having said that, just not very impressed with the strength and power of our defensive line or LBs even. McNeese was able to run quite easily. Shouldn't our players be tossing them to the side and stuffing the run? After seeing NIU's DL freaking harass and blow past the ND's OL, I really question the strength and condition of our players. Hopefully, this is complete nonsense and we start seeing those physical differences against Florida. But 2 game into the season, hope Moffitt has something up his sleeve for the long game.
