You sure it wasn’t because you couldn’t run the ball? Your short passing game became predictable? Your QB couldn’t throw the ball over the line? You couldn’t stop the run? You had a punt blocked?

I haven’t tuned into a full A&M game this season. What’s holding y'all back? I know QB play is a big one. Do yall do anything well?

The original Big12 was awesome. So many great coaches, players, personalities, etc. In the 2000’s it kind of became footballs offensive laboratory. You had so many variations of offense and concepts. Towards the back end of its demise, it even birthed the Three High Safety that you see every Saturday now. Developed at Iowa State. Before A&M left to the SEC, you also never really seen Texas kids leave the Big12 foot print. It was cool watching underrated Dallas or Houston kids do big things at Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, etc. Once that Texas pipeline was tainted, it took those teams awhile to recover.

That video is pretty telling. Sark is getting a lot of blame in this thread, rightfully so, but he’s drawing up some great stuff. The team is undisciplined and plays sloppy ball, I think he’s more responsible for that. Arch is processing at very sub par level. I think the Ewers narrative is a bit inaccurate. Georgia knew he couldn’t hit the deep ball consistently so they sat on the intermediate stuff, plus we couldn’t run the ball with a banged up RB room.

It’s probably the worst loss in the Sark Era considering the circumstances. It was also predictable based on our previous performances. We’re an incredibly undisciplined football team and OU needed help to beat Texas. Still, watching it in real time was almost unbelievable. Mistake after mistake. Though the execution was pathetic at times, I thought the worst aspect of the Texas performance was offensive play calling. OU was conceding light boxes to Texas, yet Sark would not commit to the run. Venebales deployed a four man box at one point in a 2nd and short situation, just hand the ball off and lets get the frick out of here with a win. It’s like teams key on Sarks lack of patience as a play caller. He won’t commit, even if somethings working. He’s going to take his shots, you just need to weather them, and you’ll put Texas in 3rd and longs. Despite the lousy performance, I thought the atmosphere was amazing. When the camera panned to the OU crowd, you could see how hungry they were for an upset. The team was feeding off it.

Games like this will always happen now that NIL has ruined the sport.

You guys have some kind of mass psychosis. A&M has always dropped games to perceived “inferior” opponents.

The bullpen has been suspect all season. Ruger had been lights out till the SC series. Harrison and Violantis have been okay, but banged around quite a bit too. Talented squad, even without Rodriguez and Williams. It’ll be interesting to see how they respond.

I see we’ve continued the trend of terrible Friday night baseball. Clean game from the Ags.

Goodness. Bottom half our lineup has been subpar all season. Might as well bunt and see what happens.

Being an Aggie must be so miserable. Bless your heart.
