Well, Tech should manage to get back on track this weekend against those pesky Bears. I am, however, quite curious about this one - seeing how game (no pun intended) Baylor has been this season. To their credit, this is probably the best team to come from Waco since Grant "lips that taste wine will never play for thine" Teaff danced out of town.
The Bears don't score much, but they don't give up many points either and now lead the conference in pass defense - well, that is until this next Monday I guess. (UT dropped to 4th) They also lead the conference in kick-off returns, which could be an intangible this weekend, seeing how Tech has struggled on special teams this season.
Individually, Zeigler seems to be a playmaker, although he doesn't look to weigh much more than a Raggedy Ann doll - unless you count his inflated ego.
Ideally, I would like to see the offense start putting points back up on the board to back up the stats, play better on special teams, and not give up the big play.

As for the other game, this is another opportunity for the Ags to "define" themselves. The stat sheet was less than stellar from last week against an admittedly "terrible" KSU team.
The X factor in this game will be the fact that it's played in the Land of Collie. At the beginning of the year, I predicted ISU would defeat the Men of Pyle, but the Cyclones have really thrown it in the toilet since their upset of Iowa.
Other than not committing many penalties and sunburning too easily on the sideline, the Cyclones don't appear to do too much, although I am curious to see what their run defense and kick-off return team can do against the Ags. Myer is an ok QB, and Coleman has some yardage this year on the ground, but ISU appears to be a fairly vanilla (if not disappointing) team - ironically, just like the state they'll be traveling down from.

Translation:
Tech is a statistically great team that would have beaten UT if they hadn't gotten their asses whipped...This is Baylor's best team in 20 years, but their best player is a cocky cloth doll, and we will kill them.
KSU, who I said was really good last week is now terrible, and the Ags will only win this weekend because it's a home game and Iowa St has mailed it in.

It took you 2 attempts to post that? Just like the Ags, your defining moment sputtered....
Actually, the translation reads like this: Tech got flattened last week because of what I was afraid of might happen: stupid penalties, stupid mistakes, a very good UT defense, Vince wearing the Tech D down, and not making the most of every offensive opportunity. (feel free to go back and re-read last weeks post)
KSU doesn't suck, nor are they great - although the Wrecked Crew gave up 356 passing yards to a Freshman QB, while the defining offensive moment - aka: the best play all day for the great Ag O -was a Reggie 36 yard run against a KSU D that in your own words "is not that great".
As for this weeks Ag game, you should be happy I picked A&M to win - both teams are mediocre - but a win is a win, right?
Almost forgot: the Ags should know more about how good Zeigler is or is not than Tech - after all, he's the rag doll that caught the winning pass against you last year.
Was this years injury to Courtney Lewis responsible for that as well?
Okay, I think I understand now: NEW TRANSLATION= TOTALLY OVERMATCHED.
Ultimately, the Courtney Lewis injury is helping A&M. I don't remember anyone bringing that up as an excuse...in fact, I don't remember anyone making any excuses.
