More like A&M overachieved last year setting up unrealistic expectations.

In 4 of 5 of A&M's losses, they had double digit second half leads. The only one they didn't was at OU and they were only down by 3 points at halftime. For whatever reasons, A&M has given games away in the second half. In fact if they make one play in any of these games, including two or three times in the K-State game where the game winning play was dropped by a receiver, A&M is 9-1 right now instead of 5-5. A&M clearly had the ability or they would never had double digit leads, but for whatever reason they haven't finished games. I don't think I'll ever completely understand why, but 2nd half turnovers have been a big reason in every game except for K-State, but the one turnover they did have allowed K-State back in the game in the first half, and giving up the big play and 2nd half penalties allowed them back in it in the 2nd half. So basically, made too many stupid mistakes. This team was good enough talent wise to win all their games, mental mistakes and turnovers lost them for us.
