So I don't know what happened directly after that win

Recap of the 2002 season:

R.C. Slocum fires his offensive coordinator after the third game of the season, a game in which A&M holds Virginia Tech to less than 200 yards of total offense, yet LOSES 13-3. Kevin Sumlin is promoted to offensive coordinator and things look good until the Aggies blow a 14-point 4th quarter lead against Texas Tech at home and lose in overtime as the kicker misses the PAT that would have forced a second overtime. 2 weeks later, A&M blows a 17-point 2nd half lead to Nebraska at home and loses. The next week, A&M loses to Oklahoma State for the first time ever and it looks like Slocum is done. The following week, Reggie McNeal leads A&M to victory over #1 Oklahoma at Kyle and saves Slocum's job...except it doesn't, as they lose to a 7-loss Missouri team in overtime at home the very next week. After closing the season with a 50-20 loss to t.u. in which both John Saunders and Terry Bowden famously tell A&M to "know their place" and that they shouldn't fire Slocum, R.C. is fired by Robert Gates the next week.
