    If you could change one thing about the game...

    That may have impacted the result, what would it be?

    Can be a play, a certain player, etc..

    First one to say the one I think will be said the most, gets reputation points.

    I'll say either the decision to start Tyler and play him 3 series...OR...the blown coverage by Cox when we had them backed up and all the momentum only trailing by either 7 or 10.

    If Dak starts the game we may have built a lead since our D was playing decent early.

    If Cox doesn't blow that coverage and we stop them there, we have great field position with a chance to either tie it up or cut it to 3 (I can't remember the score at that time)

    The safety changed the whole game.

    Dak and Holloway not connecting on the deep ball. That would have been a touchdown, but instead A&M blocked the punt and got a really short field for their next TD drive. That whole sequence was essentially a 16 point swing.

    The drive by A&M at the end of the 1st half was killer too. It completely halted our momentum.

    Mine is the last possession they had before the half. Everybody on here in the game thread was saying don't give up a score right here. They went 70+ yards in under a minute.

    Not blocking the 12th man. Safety put us behind and made Mullen try 2pt conversion to catch up. Momentum changed.

    Yea, I think you guys are right. That drive before the half was a back breaker

    I just accept that our coaches quit a few minutes early going into the half.

    That was mine too. We get an INT to stop a score and then the safety gives them 2 points and great field position to get the ensuing TD to go up 9. From that point it was an uphill battle all day. The only other possible candidate would be the defense making a stop right before half. Going in down 2 versus going to half down 9 was a night and day difference. From the point of the half we never got it back to a one score game the rest of the way.

    The kickoff return killed it

    Great point, we hit on that pass we actually have a 7 point lead and changes the whole complexion of the game with no safety.

    If take back the fact I never once saw Dan chewing his play card! Had he chewed a little more off of it we would have possibly gotten rid of the bullshit that wasn't working!

    Dak and Holloway not connecting is the correct answer. That was likely a 9 point swing.

    If A&M doesn't return the kickoff or Cox doesn't blow a coverage, we are down 2 points, with 40 seconds left, driving to win.

    We ran LP too many times up the middle.
    We shoulda brought Dak in to go for the 4th down in the 1st.

    Not enough J-Rob. He's a superstar and we treat him like a fill in guy. Shumpert should get the 2nd most carries.

    For me it was probably starting Tyler. I feel like we could of scored on those first 2 drives. And the second would be dak completing that throw before blocked punt. And I guess third would be them scoring before half. I will say that I'm on the fire dan group. But I will give credit where credit is due, they played hard and that's basically all I wanted to see. The mental mistakes can be fixed, playing with relentless effort is something I gotta have every game. We will see how the season plays out but if he can continue to get effort I will back off the fire dan. But it would be good to see what HUD could do with this group. I honestly think we beat auburn, tam, South Carolina and possibly lsu. Call me crazy if u want but I just think HUD gets the most out of his players every game and they find a way to win. Dan is the opposite, dan finds a way to lose. By not starting dak was huge IMO. HUD wouldn't of chances that.
