Actually, on the road, with momentum, a win in OT was more likely than a two point conversion. AtM was tired and on there heals. I don't fault Butch at all.

You guys are 13th in the SEC in total defense.

Maybe, but in which game have you been out of your own way? Not even close to out of your own way in any SEC game thus far.

3 more yards and Williams seals the deal. No overtime. See? We can all do excuses well but they don't mean shite.

If warrior targeted then it was absolutely targeting. Thats the way they were calling it

Tennessee had all the momentum. It'd be a risky move, but A&M was reeling. A&M also had an offsides, so it really was only 1.5 yards away. I feel like they had the chance to take the lead there.
However, A&M did move the ball down the field easily after that, and it only went to OT due to a shanked FG that was in 80% make-able range.

This is a very important fact. Once given that opportunity, I would have seized that chance. It's 1.5 yards, 4.5 feet. to basically victory.

It's easy to Sunday Night Quarterback, after the fact. Not mad about the decision.

You don't understand targeting.
Gillespia was hit by Warrior in a textbook targeting. Literally defined in the rules.
Gillespie laid the wood to a player that was not defenseless. He was a ballcarrier making a football move that was hit head on. Helmet to helmet contact is allowed as long as its not to a defenseless player as defined by the NCAA.

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.
Calm down and realize I am giving your team credit for having us on the ropes and could have delivered the knockout punch.
Talking about all the stuff up until the last minute only leaves a bunch of unknown after that. Changing something in the last minute eliminates almost all that.
You can debate whether it was the right call, but don't be so insecure as to think that the debate is trying to minimize your team's performance, when the intent was just the opposite.

You talking about in the first half on the kickoff?
That wasn't a targeting
CFB rulebook disagrees with you
