Yeah, I mean that’s basically college football.

I’m in no way arguing we shouldn’t have won the game, of course, but sometimes teams who will appear “terrible” for all of most of a year will show up to a game play lights out. That’s pretty much what sports is. If the only thing that would ever happen would be what should happen, then what is the fricking point?

The fact that you can’t look to Saturday and point out what about A&M appeared “terrible” is kind of the point, though.

That's kind of the whole value of the CFB regular season.

Kind of like my arguments yesterday about expanded playoffs. In a championship-determining system, you want to minimize upsets as much as possible, especially big ones. CFB has historically been the best at this very system, which is why the BCS era catapulted CFB's popularity.

Nothing TAMU did was anything special. Hell their passing game consisted of throwing up prayer jump balls.

Archane was really good, but their offense was the same shitty Jimbo offense that he's run for 10+ years. House couldn't adjust to the same thing they've shown on film all year.

Our offensive scheme has regressed to the conservative run-first idiocy that hurt us early. We are trying to be a run-first team without the blocking TE or RB talent to make it work. The only reason it's worked all year is b/c of JD's dynamic running ability. That scheme also hurts any chance of JD passing well, so it kills you on both ends.
