Jackie Sherrill shares his thoughts on Texas A&M's rout of Missouri

It was a successful Saturday afternoon as Texas A&M dismantled Vanderbilt, 41-10. On Monday's edition of TexAgs Live, legendary head coach Jackie Sherrill spoke on the Aggies' complete performance and what is to come in the month of October.

Key notes from Jackie Sherrill interview

• Conner Weigman was a different player than he was against Notre Dame. You have to give the young man a lot of credit. Sometimes, when you have a performance like he did against Notre Dame, it can do a number on you mentally. Any quarterback would love going 18 for 22 for 276 yards with an 82 percent completion percentage. He also had no turnovers. 
   
• The Aggies almost had seven minutes more time of possession. Defensively, when you hold your opponent to 68 rushing yards and 2.3 yards per carry, that says a lot about your defensive front. 
   
• The Aggies had 6.6 yards per rush. That means the offensive and defensive line are getting to a point you need to in the SEC to win games. You have to tip your hat to them. 
   
• You must give the coaches credit for improving the offensive line that much in one year. They are doing things that the offensive line can do. They are asking Weigman to do things he has shown you he can do. It is not how much the coaches know. It's how much the players know. It is your job as a coach to find out what your players can do well and eliminate what they can't do. From the first game with Weigman, you saw things that he did not do well, and they are not asking him to do that anymore. 
   
• I will say this: When you talk about Kyle Field and being loud, it is loud. It does affect the opponents, which gives you a home-field advantage. That's why the guys in Las Vegas look at homefield and take that into their equation. After-the-game comments are not the place to make public comments; I will leave it at that. 
   
• The most important part is that you take one game at a time. I always took it by months. I wanted to have a winning month. I always wanted to win three to four games. We have two more games in October, and then we have four games in November. Each game is very important.
   
• Let's go to the Alabama game. The week before, they beat Georgia and were the talk of the nation. They go in to play Vanderbilt, who hasn't beaten them in forty years. All of a sudden, Alabama is not the same team mentally. They waited around until they couldn't pull it out. 
   
• A&M has an off week, and then we have to go to Mississippi State. Starkville is not an easy place to play, even though it's not a 100,000-seat stadium. The cowbells make up for it. Then, we are home against LSU. When you look at the schedule, LSU pops out first, then Auburn, then finally Texas.
   
• When we played teams that we should beat, I worked the players awfully hard. I wanted to get their mind off of the media and people patting them on the backs. For games like LSU in two weeks, for instance, I would have softer practices.
