I may be in the minority, but it wasn't THAT BAD of a call.
Ole Miss punts, and what happens? A&M was going to score that drive no matter where it started.
His best chance at making a stop was to keep the football out of Manziel's hands.

Going for it was the RIGHT call. But it should have been a QB sneak, under center.

going for it was actually a pretty obvious call imo. There was 3:30 left and we had 3 TOs. That's an eternity with our offense and the clock rules. They'd also forced us to punt all of once the whole day and we had either scored or turned it over. Where we got the ball was fairly irrelevant other than it may have taken us 2-3 more plays to score (and 2-3 more chances to turn it over
). Now the playcall itself...that may have been questionable. But I think the people wanting him to punt are revisionists. As an A&M fan, I absolutely wanted him to punt it.

Oh, come on, Tn Jed, it was a horrible call, from actually going for it to the formation. He did nothing right on that play. I still don't know if Ole Miss had a timeout, but someone on that sideline should have used it if they did, or someone should have got in his ear and tried to calm him down before deciding.
