Very proud of how our team bounced back from the Bama game. You would have never known this team was coming off a crushing loss to our biggest rival. The frustrating penalties aside...it was the most satisfying win for me so far. I wish we had one more season with this offense, because I think our D next year is going to tough to deal with. Oh well. Bring on the Hogs!!
I honestly didn't know how we would respond to the crushing disappointment that was the Alabama game (and to a lesser extent, the OM game a few weeks before.) I was caving to the negativity that was coming from many of the naysayers in our community of fans. That was a classic Les Miles team out there yesterday. They played with heart and pride and desire/want and stupid penalties. It was glorious.
I'm befuddled, A&M's never scored less than 40 something all year, and this defense, who for the most part is decent in the red zone, and has had some times when they have gotten big stops throughout the season, but has given up tons of yards, given up alot of big plays for touchdowns, and been a unit that is known for folding with the game on the line.... held Johnny Foosball to 10 points, with something like 24 incompletions. For everyone, including myself, who have had some very critical things to say about this staff, lets give credit where credit is due. Kudos to them for having this team ready to play and play really well when they could have packed it in and imploded.
Then, by that token, A & M probably needs to thank the weather, as well. Had Tre White not fallen on the slippery field, we'd have held A & M to a FG.
Or, had so many underclassman not defected, having basically last year's D with this year's O would have been very cool as well
