Scotty2Hotty 520 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 1. Stidham goes back to compete in his home state. 2. Stidham attended games @ A&M, which were not recruiting visits, so he had to have had some level of love for A&M. 3. A&M recruited Stidham, but Sumlin stopped when Mond (father I believe?) began wavering with Mond's commitment. In some of Stidham's quotes, he was obviously bummed by Sumlin's cold shoulder. Would Stidham have signed with A&M had Sumlin continued the pursuit? Perhaps, but we'll never know. Because of these factors, Stidham has to want this victory a little more than the others. I'm sure he'll want to prove to Sumlin he made the wrong choice. The 'ol chip on the shoulder. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More importantly , needs to continue to improve since we actually have important games down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I'm glad sumlin made that decision! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I think Stidham is mature enough (and confident enough) to know that he has nothing to prove, a quarterback with his ability wants to play lights out every time he steps on the field. But if he saw what I saw from College Station last Saturday night then he knows all he has to do is mix in a completion every now and then and look for Johnson and Pettway's taillights. The Aggie run defense is pretty porous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Doubt JS worries about not getting recruited at TAMU.....but Sumlin has not been short on top rated QBs in recent years....just has had problems keeping them. Hope POD is right about the running game this week....and that our D can keep Mond from running the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Jarrett isn't the only Auburn player that's from Texas. There's Jarrett Stidham isfrom Stephenville, Texas. Spencer Nigh is from Magnolia, Texas. Darius James is from Killeen, Texas. Kam Martin is from Port Arthur, Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am originally from TX. So I have dealt with this my whole life having relatives that live all across the state. My boss is from Scotland and a few years ago I needed to go to El Paso (from Houston), I started looking at flights immediately. He was wondering why did I want to fly since it was in TX!!! LOL It is a 1:55 hr flight from Houston to El Paso....... I can fly to Birmingham from Houston in 1:35 hr flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I too think JS will be a little amped in this game. He may not talk about it but they spurned him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aggie run defense is pretty porous . Ihope So was LSU's but they made adjustments while Gus countered with his tried and true run up the middle on first down 17 STRAIGHT times. Later he said the meltdown by the offense in the second half can't happen again, it won't happen again. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaker 2,457 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Stephenville isn't far from College Station (in terms of being in same region). I am sure it will be like a homecoming for certain. Auburn wins easily against a bad defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,850 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I just want the OL to block and give JS a chance to do his thing. If that happens, and we don’t go bonkers with the play calling, dude will have a great return to his home state and they’ll be no mass chaos on this board for another week.

Not being argumentative but thought I heard Texas a and m was a sack machine (like top ten in the nation). Sorry can’t get those eleven Clemson sacks out of my brain?

Sorry can’t get those eleven Clemson sacks out of my brain? I haven't scoured their data....last year they were with Miles Garrett. Hey no worries, we have the most experienced OL in the nation! That's what I said when I mixing and drinking the kook aid back in August. Today, I wouldn't trust our staff with all all-conference roster to beat Mercer.

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,662 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Stidham should definitely circle this one. Best chance for him to show out before the big uns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
