AG
MidTnAg,
Obviously I don't have all the answers and you saw things differently, but for a first game on the road with a lot of new faces and chemistry, we played well overall with a 3-0 win. Yes, we certainly need to clean up some of the fouls and yellow cards, but is that a deliberate strategic change to be more physical? Also, regardless of talent level, coaches can have their teams more physically fit than the opponent, and that was certainly the case against Ole Miss. The Rebels were gassed and we were still playing with energy in the second half.
I think this team might have a lot of depth that can play, so I hope we get to see more players next week against Auburn. Right now we really don't know who the best teams are in the SEC outside of possibly Arkansas (who actually looked very average against a poor LSU team). If we have another solid performance against the Tigers, I think it would be a good sign that this team will be better than anticipated. Over the years, it does seem like some of our better teams have come in years when we didn't expect much from them, while the opposite has also been true unfortunately (especially in recent years).

Agreed. Lopez needs to be in the mdfield to fully utilize her ability. She is very good on headers in the box as well.redd38 said:
I agree that we need to have Lopez more involved. We've got the SEC Midfielder of the Year playing defense. Not sure we have the talent to go to a 3 back though. Gotta move Lopez up anyway. I'd rather she didn't take corner kicks too. Her service into the box isn't particularly special, but her headers are.
Can a player be offside when a teammate takes a shot? I ask because on both of Addie's goals Ali was close to being in an offside position. One other area for improvement is that at least twice we had a throw-in within 10 yards of the end line and the ball went off one of our players for a goal kick by Mississippi.
I thought we did a good job of getting the ball to our forwards when they were running on a diagonal, as opposed to standing still with their back to the goal.

So long as the player isnt in a spot where the shot can conceivably be seen as a pass or they can interfere with the save or screen them from seeing the shot they won't cal offside.
Chris Henderson of All White Kit had the following on his Twitter page:
"OM-A&M - inStat Top Rated
1. Addie McCain (A&M) [2 G, 3 chances, 0.54 xG, 0.04 xA, 5 shots, 74% pass completion, 7/10 aerial duels, 5 interceptions]
2. Jimena Lopez (A&M)
3. Shantel Hutton (A&M)
4. Laney Carroll (A&M)
5. Karlina Sample (A&M)
A&M's stars played like stars, and a couple of breaks from the woodwork equal a blowout win."

So, to answer the trivia question:
The last time A&M received 3 yellow cards in a game was 8/20/2017 @ San Diego. The offending players were Kate Hajdu, Ally Watt, and Rheagen Smith.

SEC Defensive Player of the Week - Texas A&M goalkeeper Shantel Hutton, a sophomore from Duluth, Ga., recorded six saves on the road at Ole Miss for the ninth shutout of her career. The six saves were the most among any SEC goalkeeper who recorded a shutout the opening weekend of the season.

Addie McCain named to the Top Drawer Soccer Team of the Week:
M Addie McCain, Texas A&M: Finding goals was going to be critical for this fall and beyond. McCain was the first Aggie to step forward and showcase the ability to find the back of the net. She scored twice as A&M cruised to a 3-0 win against Mississippi.
