5 worst takes after Texas A&M football's loss to ND: Klein's offense is more of the same

Chiefly because of the poor play by the quarterback, the Aggies had a tough time moving the ball for a lot of the night. When Weigman was on target, you could see things moving a lot better, but when he was lost out there, the offense looked like it was just spinning its wheels.

After three years of frustratingly watching an offense simply spin its wheels game after game after game, this apparently really set off some Aggie fans. The most ridiculous form of this was those claiming that Klein's offense was just more of the same from what we were getting from Jimbo.

This is simply not true. The things that so many Aggie fans were clamoring for in the days of Fisher—mainly, extensive use of presnap motion—were all there in Klein's scheme last night.

Of course, when you can't really pass the ball worth anything, it's hard to move the ball at all. Klein did his best and schemed up some great runs, but it was the inability to pass that hamstrung the offense more than schematic issues. Again, let's wait to see what the scheme looks like against other opponents before rendering this kind of judgment.
