He’s gotten some criticism. But anyone with eyes and a cursory knowledge of football understands that he and his defense have been keeping this ship afloat. Didn’t we give up less than 300 yards in regulation?

No. After the last drive it was 354 I believe.

It was a mixed bag. A&M has a red zone offense similar to us. Very poor at scoring TDs and A&M scored TDs on their first 2 red zone trips. After half-time adjustments Aranda did a great job shutting Williams down and the offense went out and scored to tie it up. All momentum was going our way until the Giles fumble.

That final drive A&M ran 12 plays in 89 seconds with no timeouts. Not even sure how you do that. I'd be interested to see if there was any questionable time keeping.

Fair enough. My point stands though. Obviously there is blame to go around. We couldn't make a stop at the end when we really needed. But the bottom line is our garbage offense has hung the defense out to dry for most of the season. Our defense tied the game up Saturday for God's sake. And as you alluded to, the muffed punt didn't exactly help anyone either. Aranda and the defense is way down the list of issues with this team and program. Without him I shudder to think what this team's results look like.
