Just watched the UAB game DVD. I saw a lot of good things. UAB may have been the worst team we played so far. They definitely had the worst pass defense. As bad as they were, it is still fun to see our defense improve game by game. Also fun to see guys like Bradley Stephens score TDs. Here are a few thoughts on the game:

First and foremost, we have found ourselves a left tackle. Stephen Barrera is the best LT we have put on the field so far. He was very impressive in pass pro. He did have a freshmen moment on the first series when on a 3rd down screen play he rushed out and blocked Brandal Jackson. Barrera had a better game at LT than Danny Baker had at RT. Barrera will take his lumps as a freshman. He still still ahead of where 99.9 percent of freshmen are in pass pro and he looks like a natural tackle. 

Sean Porter is a very nice special teams player. More time than not on punts and kickoffs he is going to make the tackle or be right around the tackle. 

Terrence Frederick had one of those highlight reel type hits that Sherman has been lamenting that have been missing for the past few years.

Defense struggled early with tackling, but got better as the game went along.

Glad to see the coaches calling some running plays for JJ. We are going to need him to use his feet and arm if we are going to make a bowl game.

Still amazed we had over 200 yds rushing with Chrisine Michael on the sideline.

Ryan Tannehill is one of the finest athletes to put on an Aggie uniform.

I am convinced that Von Miller would have fit right in on any of the great Wrecking Crew defenses.

When I was at A&M in the mid to late 90s, we would blow out the teams we were supposed to blow out. We are slowly but surely approaching that level again.
