There is no way we stop you there, IMHO. We were not playing the same defense we were against Arky.

I believe that cost you the game.

If they don't get the 2pt everybody would have given him shite for it. Lose-lose

On the road, with momentum, I would've gone for it.

Instead of that, they should have kicked that field goal instead of going for it on 4th sometime in the first half

Yep. It's one thing if you're 2-4 and in that situation. Undefeated tho you just can't do it.

I'm more pissed about the call to throw on the first play of OT2. A&M's defense was so gassed at that point, I did not see them being able to stop Dobbs and Kamara on the ground atp. Just a really dumb decision imo

Not at all. Our offense was doing well but TAMU likely would've gotten into FG position making it moot even though that didn't happen. Better to tie it when your offense is firing and go to OT than risk the loss with all the starters out on D.

Nah coaches who do shite like that don't have a job for very long. You kick the extra point especially with all the momentum on your side.

Honestly think A&M let up a little on defense in the 4th. Clamped down in OT and Dobbs and company couldn't do shite. It almost cost us.

No. I think it has to be the right call.

Our defense was gassed. TRUTH.
But you don't roll the dice for those 3 yards there. You take the gimmie and head to overtime and exploit the tired defense.

I was most surprised with the pass on 1st down in the second overtime.

It was the smart play. Just didn't work out for them in the end. If he goes for it and doesnt' get it he is skewered.

Haven't even seen this mentioned. Way down their current list of excuses.

Every team does or you just haven't been watching football for a long time.

Far more pissed about 7 TO's than I am about that.

Also A&M's been pretty good at short yardage defense this year.

Shouldn't have gone into OT to begin with. 7 points to A&M after the targeting against Berry went uncalled and forced a fumble.

They had all the momentum, I thought they'd roll in OT

You talking about in the first half on the kickoff?

That wasn't a targeting

LMAO!


Yeah, it wasn't the 7 turnovers. It was because they didn't go for two.

You are convieniently starting your own narrative, after this game story should be an amped up rehash of last years Ole Miss/Bama game...

better team didn't win

7 turnovers

Still in the game after the turnovers

600+ yds of offense


Hell, y'all were at home too.

I thought it was the right call. A$M had a suspect kicker
