The Aggies hustle and scrappiness kept them in the game yesterday but, in the end, the better team won. You can't teach effort and heart so it's nice to know that our returners will always leave it all on the field.
Although our possession was better yesterday than I had watched in most of our previous games, it wasn't good enough to give us the upper hand. Possession is great because it takes the pressure off of the defense and usually results in more offensive opportunities.
I am hoping that next seasons new faces will bring more athleticism, speed and skill to add to what we have coming back (plus Watt). Injuries as well as our insistence on so many semi aimless long balls, below average passing and basic skills by some of the regulars really made it tough this season.
With a handful of incoming high quality freshmen (maybe a transfer or two), plus our current high quality starters, I do believe the team will be far more competitive next season. I'm already excited to get back to the field to root the team on to an SEC championship.
