I really believe that Sumlin/KK have proven something this year with respect to y'alls offense and style. It has changed my tune on what I would like to see us doing. Of course we still have a long way to go on D, which is the most surprising thing about your team to me.
Not gonna lie, it's changed my tune, as well. I was cautiously optimistic to start the year (8-4 was my ceiling prediction), and my reasoning behind this was thinking the Sumlin/KK offensive system was more of a bridge between the Big12 style and the SEC style of offense. Basically, I assumed that A&M would adopt the spread because a.) Sumlin's most comfortable with it, and b.) we just didn't have the athletes/depth to run a traditional SEC ground and pound offense (we still don't, fwiw).
But what they've changed my tune on is the efficacy of said offense. Granted, JFF is a transcendent talent at QB, but the system is working and most pleasantly, the defense is MUCH more stout than I assumed coming into the season.

I feel the same way. I told my friends here I thought 7-5, 8-4 would be reasonable, but that was off. Sumlin has taught us much this year.

I still don't think this system works without a mobile QB.
