    Lets Talk About It: Aggies/Longhorns Rivalry with Tes Sawyer & Scott "Coach" Abernathy

    Send us a text Two sleeps until Texas and Texas A&M collide in Austin, and the air already crackles like a kickoff under the lights. We bring Coach Ab back to the mic alongside Tess to unpack a rivalry that still divides families, dinner tables, and decades of football memory—then we zoom into what actually decides it: tackling, leverage, and composure when the stadium screams otherwise. We start with the scene-setter: DKR at night, the drone show, and the return of Midnight Yell to the Capitol steps. Then we get clinical. Why did Texas’ defense shift from September dominance to late-season misfires? Coach breaks down the pressure-versus-coverage trade, the cost of adding a fifth rusher, and how missed tackles are more about want-to than highlight hits. Tess counters with what’s fixable—communication, rotations, and gap fits—while calling out the one matchup that scares her most: A&M’s backs against soft boxes. Quarterbacks and trenches take center stage. Reed’s dual-threat stress versus a plan to set hard edges and funnel help. Manning’s midseason leap—calmer eyes, smarter slides, and quick profit-taking when protections hold. We talk time of possession, field position, and why first-and-10 defense is the real down of the night. Sprinkle in playoff scenarios, bowl projections, and a rapid-fire prediction round, and you’ve got a roadmap for what to watch on every snap. If you crave more than clichés and want real angles you can use while you watch—run fits, red zone choices, and the hidden yards of special teams—you’re in the right place. Tap play, ride the rivalry with us, and then tell us your score. Subscribe, share with a fellow Longhorn or Aggie, and leave a quick review to help more college football fans find the show.
