The Red Raiders scored the final 13 points, including the game-winning 36-yard ball to Matt Williams with 2:08 left, as they rallied for a 27-24 victory at Colorado last weekend. QB Taylor Potts threw for 286 yards and a pair of TD, while Alex Torres pulled by six balls for 133 yards and a score. Potts enjoys a very successful campaign so far, and he is an average of 308,7 YPG, 20 TD against only five INTs. Lyle Leon, who also hauled in a TD pass last weekend, Potts was the main goal with 42 catches for 521 yards and 10 points. Baron Batch and Erick Stevens have provided a good change of pace from the passing attack, as they combined for 809 yards and seven scores on the ground.
TTU has questions on defense this year, but the block came late last week to hold Colorado without a point in the decisive fourth quarter. Defense was stout against the run, giving up only 28 yards on 32 carries, but was burned for 364 yards through the air. Pass defense was the real problem areas for the Raiders, as they give up to 298,6 YPG in the air. Protection made with 10 INTs and 18 sacks, so that helped offset some of the passing yards surrendered. Jarvis Phillips leads the club with four INTs and nine PBU, while Brian Duncan tops the list with 8,5 TFLs and six sacks.
Aggies had their way with Kansas over the weekend, as they churned out 227 yards on the ground and another 294 yards through the air. QB Jerrod Johnson was 12-of-20 for 139 yards and he also rushed for 28 yards and a TD. With the effort, Johnson became the all-time leader in total offense school. Backup Ryan Tannehill also own the game as he threw for 155 yards and three TDs in his first significant action of the season. Johnson, however, is the catalyst for that offense, and he averaged 278.1 passing YPG with 14 TD. Turnover however, was any question of Johnson, as he threw nine INTs. Jeff Fuller is the main output in the passing game, leading & M with 44 receptions for 687 yards and nine TD. He also was effective at the weekend, pulling in five balls for 121 meters and a pair of TD. Cyrus Gray led the assault with 117 yards and a TD on 13 carries, and he ranks second to Christine Michael (592 yards) with 312 yards rushing for the season.
& M put forward a solid defensive effort last weekend, limiting Kansas only 331 total yards. Aggies showed significant improvement with regard to pass, yielding only 130 meters, but took a step backwards with regard to implementation, allowing 201 yards. It was a turning success of the Group for the season as M holds opponents to just 94.7 rushing YPG, allowing a whopping 329.7 passing YPG. Damontre Moore was stunning in victory over Kansas, as he posted five tackles, 1.5 sacks and one of two team INTs. He was the best pass rusher the team this season, leading the way with 5.5 sacks and 6,5 TFLs.
Aggies have things rolling nicely over the weekend, and they should be able to turn in a similar offensive performance in a shootout victory over the Raiders.
