The last time North Carolina was in the stadium, they dropped a 62 spot in about a million yards rushing on Miami.

May hard pressed to do it against Texas A and M Jimbo Fisher and Mack Brown, two of the six active coaches who own national championships.

Yet they're facing off for the first time against each other, Mac trying to solidify his North Carolina team and a final ranking official with a chance to have the Aggies ranked in the top five for the final poll for the first time since 2012.

That's what happens when you got a lot of teams observing and only so many spots.

You have to make a choice and the committee made a choice.

That's their choice.

We'll move on a great opportunity for us to continue to grow and build our brand and build our programs what we wanted to go way.

We're actually pretty disappointed that we didn't make the playoffs.

I mean, we're not gonna take this opportunity for granted and I feel like that's the whole team's mindset.

That's definitely exciting for us to play a great opponent.

like sex with them very easily could be in the cultural ballplayers right now.

Black guys need to step of making players sports.

This weekend s the mentality of our team with the adults.

I'm disappointed they're not playing.

Fans are disappointed, but what it also does, it's It's unexpected opportunities for other players.

So we've told players all year is prepared for the day that you're gonna get play.

And then here it ISS, so you better be ready and Texas A and M they better be ready as well for North Carolina and Sam how, even though missing some of the weapons look at the production that Sam how will be without 87% of the Russian yards gone?

Michael Cartage Avante Williams opting out the Army Brown 1000 yard receiver Dad's Newsome.

Still there?

Talented young receivers as well, But we're talking to Jimbo Fisher of Texas A and M quarterback guru Really impressed with what Sam how was done and what he's capable of.

Mark your right and Mack Brown at the beginning.

The season, he said.

I need three things from Sam, how I need him to check the ball down when it's not when it's not open, the deep shots not open.

I need you to use your feet, steal us a couple third down, scrambles and get us first downs.

And I need you to be more of a vocal leader right now.

This game, with all these weapons out, he has to take over.

He has to take that next step.

He's already started for two years now.

This is when you assume command.

And even though their roster is gonna look like their spring game in 2021 he's got to be the man.

Make these guys better.

Elevate the play of the players around you and obviously missing a lot of pieces.

And British Brooks is a running back Number 34 who will have to step up.

Other guys will have to step up and play big.

When you look at A and M, they knew they know exactly who they are, and and after the Florida game, they figured it out that they're a ground and pound and they're going to use the maroon goons.

They got one of the best offensive lines in all of college football, so good up front.

It's about physicality.

Jimbo Fisher loves the dialogue ball plays, but he realized really quickly.

Isaiah Spiller is a big physical back.

My offensive line is big and physical, bro.

We could run through this hole.

There ain't no doubt about it.

They make holes like this all game long.

Get him going downhill.

They used Kellen Mon as a running back a lot.

The power read right here.

Look, you Spiller.

Now to go outside.

Get everybody moving.

One direction.

Kelly Mahon, A great athlete.

Use his feet again.

Look at the guns up front.

The girls just throw people around.

And then the superman of the group, a Nyah Smith.

He goes in the phone booth.

He changes his jerseys for the game.

Is Where's Waldo?

Man?

Kick, by the way, does punt returns.

He puts on a different jersey.

He changes that jersey.

He plays running back and he changes that jersey and he plays wide receiver, basically, so he can do everything.

He's a jack of all trades.

Number zero.

A.

Nyah Smith is the best playmaker on this A and M offense.

It's a really fun group toe watch, but it's led by the maroon goons upfront.

Those dudes are awesome, man.

Um, as a great tape, I tell you what.

I have to echo what Mark was saying about Sam how he's still gonna have some weapons.

You're gonna have Dad's Newsome like you said.

But then the army of the Ami Brown has a brother named Caffrey Brown.

Now he's not fast.

He's fast.

Fast.

Make sure you keep an eye on Caffrey Brown.

They got Emery Simmons, too.

He caught a touchdown against Notre Dame.

So, Sam, how is gonna have the weapons out there?

But to take that next step just like Mark said to be that leader you have tow elevate the game of those around you?

This should be a great matchup, though.

Bear, you've got that on the board.

Remarkable sort.

It is the first meeting between Jimbo Fisher, Mack Brown.

It isn't.

I hope that I expect that A and M, the team coaches players will be have a lot less hangover about their fans there.

Like if the player's mindset like the fans minds and they think they should be in the playoffs, they're in trouble today.

I think I am gonna win the game like I think a and M is a good team.

I think they will control line screams, taking the win.

But this line has moved up a lot.

I'm gonna take care of Lina, plus the points on that.

They're gonna win.

But I think they do have enough players on the perimeter and EMS giving up some big plays through the air this year.

So I think Carolina will still hit one or two, but a name is a better team and they'll they'll.

They'll control enough with the Game two and A and M's played close games, even games that they when you watch the games, they feel the Tennessee game at the end of the year.

When you gonna see in South Carolina, I think.

And obviously the lost Alabama, the rest of them.

L s u game was closed a lot of games this year, but A and M, they know who they are, right?

Taking care of business in controlling the tempo, sort of in that pro style Jimbo Fisher method looking forward to that game tonight.

Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube.
