If we ever get to a point as a fanbase that we are pissed about blowing 3rd downs or late game leads that means we are SO much better as a defense overall that I will take it
Oh, you mean the Mike Sherman years?

Not even close.
Those were the "get out to a big lead then be so stubbornly intent on balancing the playcalling instead of exploiting weaknesses that you turn the ball over multiple times and blow 3+ score halftime leads".
Case in point: Christine Michael had over 200 yards rushing in the first half against Arkansas in 2011. He had ZERO carries in the second half despite an 18 point halftime lead.

Mike Sherman didn't get us to the fourth quarter.
Early in his career he would blow games in the first or second quarter, and later in his career he would blow them in the third quarter. In 2010, his best season, he gave up 21 points to Oklahoma State in the third quarter in a loss in a game where we were ahead at half time.
In 2011 Okie State scored another 21 points in the third quarter for the win after being down at the half. That year OU scored 28 points in the Q3, Arkansas scored 10 points in Q3, and Texas scored 17 points in the third quarter to win that game. The third quarter was Sherman's ceiling.
If Chavis gets us over that hump and has us losing games in the fourth quarter it will be a new experience for many Aggies.
