The Tres Amigos break down Texas A&M’s two blocked punts against Notre Dame and LSU — formation, fan vs man protection, where the A and B gap leaks came from, and why simple beats cute on punt teams. Then the guys scout Missouri: a boa constrictor Cover 3 defense and a wide or outside zone, RPO heavy offense built to win time of possession.

They cover Elko’s blitz packages, how to attack Missouri’s Cover 3 seams, red zone trends, and how A&M can use the bye week prep to force Mizzou out of rhythm. The crew wraps up with midseason concerns, key positives, score predictions, and Players of the Game.
