All season long, McMillan has preached the same message: this may not be the most naturally gifted roster in the SEC, but once it starts playing as a team, it can make real noise. At times it will look sharp, at times it will look chaotic, but it will always be aggressive and competitive.<\/p>\n
“You got to have a team. You can’t just have talent. You got to have a team. And it’s been a joy coaching this group.\u00a0“<\/p>\n
To his credit, the Aggies are becoming exactly what he envisioned. They\u2019re winning with depth, with buy\u2011in, and with a growing understanding of a system that demands chemistry. McMillan\u2019s read\u2011based offense isn\u2019t built on scripted sets \u2014 it\u2019s built on decision\u2011making, trust, and repetition, especially for a roster that had never played together before this season.<\/p>\n
“We were dialed in, and we only keep getting better. The offense that we run is not a set offense. It’s not a scripted the ball goes here, everyone does this. It’s a read-based offense, right? It’d be like running the option in football, right? And you only get better as a season goes.”<\/p>\n
