5 worst takes after Texas A&M football's loss to ND: Tommy Moffitt was a dud hire

The Aggies had several players go down with injuries during this game, along the offensive line in particular. Early on, we saw Mark Nabou being attended to by the training staff. He exited, and while Elko said that he would be available to return, we did not see him ever make that return.

Then, Arma'j Reed-Adams went down. He was back in before long, but near the end of the game, Nabou's replacement (Kolinu'u Faaiu) had to be helped off the field.

That, in addition to the fact that there was not a discernible advantage in overall team speed for the Aggies over the Irish, led some to make the hotheaded claim that Tommy Moffitt, the new Aggie strength and conditioning coach, was a dud hire.

Talk about rushing to judgment! We don't know the extent of Nabou's injury, and everyone else looks to be immediately fine.

It's also an unreasonable expectation that the Aggies would simply be way faster than Notre Dame, who also happens to be a team that recruits at an elite level. As with several other things on this list, we need to see more before we can come close to making a judgment like this.
