To get a clearer picture, the Murray family met with sumlin before the press conference yesterday. Papa Murray basically demanded to become new qb coach if we wanted kyler to stay at A&M. Obviously that didn't work and while Murray thought he had leverage and would make sumlin look bad...instead sumlin stated in press conference that he expected Murray at practice today hence making him look bad for not showing. It backfired. It actually gives us leverage since he did not complete his loi, we have an option although I don't believe we will use it to make him sit out for two years. Either way it won't matter he wants to go the mlb route. It leaves us in a bind(yes I'm an ag very close to the program fwiw) with only one scholarship qb..Jake Hubenak, although he was all world at blinn jc.
Also Someone mentioned recruit Tate Martell...he is well aware of the situation and is actually going to try and graduate a year early not a semester but a year and enroll at A&M. For now no worries with him......actually it is strengthening the relationship. As for Kirk...he's not going anywhere and has stated that repeatedly.
So what does all this mean for the bowl game?
Speedy Noil is suspended for the bowl game but the receiving Corp has plenty of depth and he has struggled all season anyway. Not worried about that. This team is rallying despite all distractions. I'm Not always a homer but in this situation I truly believe they get it done and beat Louisville. 38-27. Louisville does not have a blue print on Hubenak...he is a strong armed quick release qb, not as athletic as kyler but quicker release than both Allen and Murray. Look for a lot of slot play with seals jones to get mismatches then long ball to his former blinn teammate ratley. Aggies will throw some wrinkles in too with two weeks to prepare. Make no mistake, this dumpster fire is rallying the team and refocusing them on team play with no entitlements. This team has been sick but is going through cleansing. We've Taken our medicine and will be healthy for the bowl game. This team will be motivated.
