I was going to group quote and comment on each one, but there are too many that I agree with!!! nicker:

Stoops lost that game last night. Pure and simple. QB was terrified and it showed. Our defense played extraordinarily well!! Hoak should've had an opportunity and Snell should've had way more carries than he did.

BUT, we had our first loss to a wonderful A&M team at THEIR field in OT. The sun is about to come up and I hear birds singing so I'm pretty sure the world didn't end. We will fight another day.

I don't like losing and HATE when we beat ourselves, but I am proud of this team!!!

You’re 100% right. Now that I’ve calmed down, I’m much more at peace with this. This was a team that should have beat Clemson, gave Alabama a respectable game, and they were at home with 100,000 very loud fans. Really we were lucky to have ANY kind of chance to win this at the end, as anemic as our quarterbacking was last night. Can still have a super year, but some things we have to address;
1. Do we need to at least see what our offense would be like with a pocket passer? (I’d certainly lean towards yes on that one).
2. Are we going to have to get to the opponents 20 or closer to have any chance of a field goal? That really puts your offense in a bind, changes your play calling. (Although a lot of times that would probably be a good thing for us.)
3. Is C.J. Conrad still even on the team? He’s as good or better than the A & M guy, and he gets targeted what once maybe twice a game? He has to be frustrated.
Like I said before, 10-2 with a New Years Bowl would be a dream, 9-3 with a good bowl would be fine, anything less than that with our remaining schedule would be disappointing from the point we are at now. Use the bye week to clean things up, come out and stomp Vandy and get the second half rolling, still lots of great things that can happen. How about road wins at Florida, Tennessee and Louisville all in the same year?
