    Tres Amigos 26.1 | Texas A&M Spring Game Deep Dive

    The 12th Man is back at Kyle Field! Join Matt, Seth, and Coach Brown (The Tres Amigos) as they break down everything they saw from Mike Elko’s "old school" spring game. From the physicality of the O-line to the concerns at Tight End, we’re diving deep into the roster before fall camp. What we’re covering today:We’re looking at the impact of the transfer portal, specifically the new additions from Alabama and LSU, and why Adam Cushing might be the most important coach on the offensive staff. We also discuss why the "stable" at running back is as deep as ever and if Marcel Reed’s "happy feet" are a concern or just spring jitters. Stick around for the end where we talk about the "dirt bags" on the baseball team, the power hitting of Aggie Softball, and the Volleyball team's recent trip to the White House!

    Miami Film Breakdown (Ep. 25.18): Who Are We on Offense?

    Welcome to Tres Amigos Episode 25.18 — our Miami film breakdown and likely the final episode of the season. First off, thank you. We crossed 1,500 subscribers this year, and the interaction all season long (including Miami fans) has been incredible. We open with a shoutout to Carthage and two future Aggies — linebacker Qui Beck and running back KJ Edwards — and why both of those guys look physically and mentally ready to contribute early. Before diving into football, we take time to celebrate Aggie Volleyball’s historic national championship run. Three straight sweeps of #1 seeds, Kendall Stowers’ unbelievable comeback, Coach Jamie Morrison’s culture, and why that program is building something sustainable. Then we break down the Miami game: The defense gave up 10 points on 49 snaps — that should win you a playoff game. The bigger question is on offense: who are we? Why the last few games felt like a drift away from 12 and 13 personnel, tight ends, and the body-blow run game. How shell defenses (Texas, Missouri, Miami) force patience — and why YAC players like Mario Craver are the antidote. A film breakdown of key moments, including a counter/BASH bust, and a deeper discussion on scalability vs executability vs personnel — when an offense becomes a buffet instead of a system. We close with thoughts on staff structure, offseason fixes, and what we want to see heading into 2026. We’ll be back once the portal settles, again around spring ball, and after the spring game. Drop comments with offseason topic ideas and guest suggestions.

    Tres Amigos 25.15 | How Texas A&M Beats Texas: Elko’s Blueprint, Samford Breakdown

    The boys are back for Episode 25.15 of Tres Amigos — and this one is loaded. We start with story time from College Station and finish with how the Aggies go win in Austin. Matt and Seth recap their midweek trip to Elko’s radio show at Rudy’s (standing room only), meeting some awesome listeners, and getting a quick moment with Coach himself. From there, we roll into a “Good, Better, Best” breakdown of the Samford game and then dive DEEP into how Texas A&M matches up schematically with Texas on both sides of the ball. On offense, we talk about development under Elko, why guys like Daniels, Morrow, Tiger, Brady Hart, and Tyler Thomas matter so much for the future, and why KC Concepcion’s slot slant game is pure NFL tape. On defense, we talk about what we learned from the shutout, depth, and why Elko still coaches like it’s 0–0 in the 4th quarter. Then it’s all about them:– Why Texas lives in Cover 3 and how their “bend but don’t break” defense is quietly giving up a ton of chunk plays– Where Colin Simmons and Anthony Hill are absolute dudes… and where the Horns don’t have last year’s juice up front– How their offense is built on horizontal stretches, bubbles, nows, RPOs and deep shots off that action– Why their run game and interior OL are the weak link — and why Hicks/Regis/Onyedum could decide the whole night We also hit:– Why Marcel HAS to be the “point guard,” not the hero ball Heisman candidate– Surviving the Sark script AND A&M’s bad second quarters– Special teams keys: Casey as a game-breaker, why we should NOT punt to their returner, and why Banks is absolutely coming after a punt– Score predictions and players of the game: interior DL, KC, and yes… Coach Elko himself If you’re an Aggie who loves Xs & Os, culture talk, and honest coaching perspectives, this one’s for you.

    Tres Amigos 25.14 | Breaking Down South Carolina: The Cat Blitz, RPO Tempo, and More

    The Aggies just did something nobody had ever done: teams down 27+ at halftime were 0–286… until A&M flipped the script against South Carolina. In Episode 25.14, we break down the comeback from a coaching perspective—mindset, adjustments, scheme, culture, and technique.We cover how Marcel Reed went from 6-for-19 with 2 INTs to 16-for-20, 298 yards, 3 TDs, why tempo and “six-minute offense” changed the whole feel of the game, and how Elko’s staff handled the halftime moment without drama, broken chairs, or panic.We dive into Boerkircher’s red-zone touchdown and why the scheme was clinic tape, the WR room’s culture win with Isaiah Williams, the good/bad/ugly of Reed’s interceptions, and the truth behind the 3rd-and-goal option call (hint: good play, poor execution).On defense, we break down the cat blitz Mona Lisa, the interior stunt adjustments, tackling, split-flow issues, and why the second half was the best defensive stretch of the season. Then we preview Samford, give score predictions, and pick players of the game.Help us hit 1,500 subscribers before the Texas game!Like, share, comment, and subscribe—your support means everything.Follow Tres Amigos:X: @TresAmigosAggieFacebook: Tres AmigosInstagram: @tres_amigos903TikTok: @tresamigos903#GigEm #Aggies #TexasAM #AggieFootball #SEC #MarcelReed #MikeElko #SouthCarolina #CollegeFootball #TresAmigosChapters (Copy & Paste)0:00 – Intro & Episode Setup0:45 – Wild Kratts vs Kyle Field (Ticket Stories)1:30 – Channel Growth & Subscriber Push2:30 – Why Winning Is Hard: Coaching Culture Talk4:20 – Two Fourth-Down Plays That Changed Everything5:45 – Beamer vs Elko Mindset6:30 – Halftime Reality (No Broken Chairs)8:10 – Marcel Reed: First Half vs Second Half12:00 – Tempo, Six-Minute Offense & Fixing the Run Game16:30 – Why A&M Should Use More Tempo21:30 – Boa Kertcher TD: Clinic-Level Scheme24:30 – Isaiah Williams & WR Room Culture27:40 – The Bad: Reed’s Interceptions Explained32:30 – Long-Term Thinking vs Digging a Hole39:10 – Goal-Line Play Breakdown (Not a Bad Call)45:10 – Defensive Good: Second-Half Dominance49:30 – Cat Blitz Breakdown (Mona Lisa Clip)54:20 – Cover 3 Issues, Tackling & Split-Flow Problems59:30 – Samford Preview1:01:45 – Score Predictions1:03:20 – Players of the Game1:05:30 – Closing Thoughts & Call to Action
