Joe Kines has the Aggies operating a multiple attacking scheme with a variety of fronts. So far this season, I've seen some 4-3, some 4-2-5, and a lot of 3-3-5, or 33 Stack. The aggressive nature of the scheme we're running (and the learning curve inherent in learning a new scheme) means we're going to see lots of big plays, both for and against us.

Aggies come out in a basic 4-3 on UNM's first series. Notice the 9-3-1-8 alignment of the defensive linemen.

On the third defensive series of the game, A&M switched to a multiple 30 look.

Here is a more traditional 33 look. Notice the NT shaded strong.

The new scheme will require patience from our fanbase. I like what I'm seeing so far from Kines, so I hope Aggies everywhere will be patient, and give him time.

While we're not anywhere close to Wrecking Crew standards yet (latest has A&M ranked 11th in the Big 12 in total defense), I believe Kines will get us there.
