I was thinking the same thing.  Had he gotten blown out he might not have survived the weekend.  He looked pretty happy after the game.  It is rare to see the losing coach smiling.

How do we get outscored in the second half?  They wore us down?

Injuries, blocked punt, shanked punt, fumble, missed assignments, dropped passes...

At least we won.  And we won the way Coach Stallings teams used to win, with DEFENSE.  And just like the Stallings games, we left the field a winner, but knowing we have work to do in practice.  That makes it a good win.

All the pundits say in order to beat us you have to have a hot QB. A&M's freshman played a good game. Most QB's could have not have extended the last two touchdown plays to have a chance to make a perfect throw into a tight window but that kid did. Very Manziel like.

The game was never in doubt but much closer than we would like.

If A&M plays that like (at home) against the barn in a few weeks they will beat them.

For championship caliber teams, there is at least one game in the season where you have to win ugly.  This was one.  I hope there won't be another.  But if OL plays like they did last night, the rest of the season ain't gonna be fun.

Likely that Bradley Bozeman's injury, which kept him from practicing last week, was worse than expected.  That coupled with a good scheme played by A&M kept us from rushing well.  A&M took chances on most every play, and we should have been able to punish them with passes.  We didn't do that well.

I'll await hscoach's assessment of the line play before saying more.
