This is on the players and coaches. Coaches obviously haven't done a great job but a couple of times we had an opportunity to make a play and didn't do it.
If we don't score on the first drive of the 2nd half the crowd is going to be dead and the players will probably be planning what they are going to say to the fans on social media. First drive of the half is the key to the rest of the season.
The refs dicked us on the horrendous go for it on 4th down and made sure A&M scored.Quote:

Mark Quarles crew got scratched by the last staff and now you see why.
Diasagree. If you punt earlier on basically the same play why go for it. Reeks of croom.Quote:

Just bad all around.
The one's that can only see mistakes JoMo makes and ignore's eveything else. I don't agree with the 4th down call either but that was just one of about 4 other things that cost us on that series.Quote:

Going for it was smart, passing was dumb.
Think about it guys, our O has a really hard time scoring. We've been running it good this drive and have a chance to score going into halftime. Our D has been playing great, and if we don't make it there's only 50ish seconds for the to try to drive on us. If we can gin 3 yards, we keep our D off the field and come away with a FG at the least.
Going for it was smart. Gives our struggling O a good chance to score, and only gives A&M 25ish yards vs a punt. It should have been a short pass or run though, not a deep ball.
If we wanted to bitch about Mullen clamming up and calling a conservative game, I'm sure as hell not going to complain about a coach going for it on 4th and 3 at their 35 when we have every reason to believe our D could hold if we didn't make it

It was 4th and 3 at the 36 yardline. You don't punt there. You also don't throw a bomb.Quote:

I’m fine with him going for it in hindsight, but the play was awful.
The first decision to punt was really, really bad. 99 out of 100 coaches would have gone for it. Moorhead lost his shit in the sideline for some reason.Quote:
