Was A&M success all the legacy of Johnny football?

That was certainly a big part of it and probably the biggest part. But the '12 team actually played defense (with mostly Sherman's players). A&M really hasn't since then.

See the '13 Cotton Bowl to start the second half with A&M up 14-13:
OU: 3 and out
A&M: TD
OU: 3 and out
A&M: TD
OU: 3 and out
A&M: TD

That's my favorite stretch of Aggie football, maybe ever.
