I may be in the minority, but it wasn't THAT BAD of a call.

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.
