Tres Amigos 26.15 | Film Room: Young DTs Dominate & The Run Game Renaissance
Seth Drennan and CoastAg take the mics (while Matt is at a volleyball tournament) for Episode 26.15 to dissect the film from Texas A&M's shutout victory over The Citadel.
In This Episode:
The Aggie Youth Movement: Nearly 60% of A&M's offensive snaps were played by underclassmen. The guys highlight True Freshman Sam Roseborough (#64) anchoring the left guard spot, intense blocking effort from Aaron Gregory (#3), and KK Johnson's (#19) smooth transition from quarterback to tight end.
RB1 Secured: Why KJ Edwards' (#0) elite "Jedi" vision and lateral cutbacks have permanently earned him the starting running back job.
Dominating the Trenches: CoastAg breaks down the tape on the defensive line, praising Brandon Davis-Swain (#11), Landon Rink (#99), and DJ Sanders (#88) for their penetration, leverage, and block-shedding.
Cleaning Up the Back End: While the defensive line feasted, the guys point out where veteran safeties like Marcus Ratcliffe (#3) must improve their run-fit angles and backside constraint discipline before SEC play resumes.
College Football Film Room: Seth geeks out over Utah's unique offensive wrinkles—including a 315-pound Tongan fullback—and the crew discusses why the entire sport is shifting back to a physical "run game renaissance."
