After your Defense induced a turnover on downs, knowing that without a first down you’d give TAMU another possession with 90 seconds thanks to their remaining timeouts, you run a pathetic series of downs, culminating in a cowardly 3rd down that went nowhere.


This is the most crucial IMO. This was right before all the ref frickery started. If we get a first down, it's all over. And I know the mindset was to run the clock down, but as one of the talking heads said earlier in the season: if you get first downs the clock takes care of itself.

With barely over 2 minutes and A&M with 2 timeouts it's the right call. Force them to expend the timeouts and leave them with 1:29 to go 78 yards with no timeouts. If you pass and get an incompletion they save the timeouts. It's a better probability. Especially if you have an "elite D" and mastermind DC.

Do you not have faith that Aranda's D can stop Mond who everyone says sucks from going 78 yards in 89 seconds without a timeout?
