Holding on A&M

First, we shouldn’t have gone for it on fourth.
Second, you don’t throw the ball 40 yards downfield on a critical down when you know we can’t do that. We don’t have the QB or WOs to run that kinda offense, Joevester.
And Lewis is a moron.
In what place as a coach do you have to be to go for it at almost midfield with a hail mary with the lead. This dude should be fired tonight. If that is his system then he is a dumbass
We're losing at halftime bc Moorhead went for it on 4th.
Punting was the smart play, but we need points and confidence so I get it. Especially the way our D was playing.
You just didn’t know Leo would be an idiot AGAIN and we’d get a terrible call.
I'm still in shock we punted on 4th and 6 inches at the Texas 40.
This^^^^
It was about the same kind of contact as our 4th down pass.
Or at least run something that has a chance. We go for it on 4th down and play to our own weakness. That's coaching y'all. Not players.
That was all on NoJo. He owes us 7 points.
That is the 2nd, 3rd, or perhaps even 4th time this season he has kept a scoring drive alive with stupid crap like that.
How many years of this ineptitude do we want? Each year you tack on the further our recruiting will fall....Moorhead is an idiot!

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.
That PI on Smitherman was criminal. Ball was OOB and Smitherman didn't so much as touch him. Just watched replay.
Mark Quarles crew got scratched by the last staff and now you see why.
Joe made a bad call and it was magnified by Leo getting handsy.
Just bad all around.
Shoop blitzing 3 plays in a row was beyond stupid as well. WTF was he thinking????
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
Until we start getting some of those holding calls, we are not going to win. 5he holding is nullifying our DL
I’m fine with him going for it in hindsight, but the play was awful.
