they didn't. They used a TO to challenge a play that they were obviously going to lose and then after losing the challenge they inexplicably used their last time out immediately afterwards to set their defense. This all happened midway thru the 4th so it didn't seem as meaningful but they basically wasted all their TOs which may have been a bigger mistake than anything we are talking about on this thread

A&M's drives went as follows(in order):
Rush TD (4 plays 75yds)
Fumble (3 plays 20yds)
Turnover on Downs (9 plays 44yds)
Interception (4 plays 16yds)
Field Goal (13 plays 81yds)
Punt (8 plays 23yds)
Fumble (5 plays 50yds)
Fumble (7 plays 44yds)
Interception (6 plays 34yds)
Rush TD (5 plays 88yds)
Pass TD (4 plays 39yds)

In driving the whole field, A&M was 2 for 10 on scoring touchdowns. 20%.
What was the likelihood of A&M getting the 39yds needed for a TD if the play failed? 60% given the length of their previous drives.
