In the end, it came down to a last second field goal kicked by UT's Justin Tucker, who has been near-flawless all season. But it also came down to UT's defense uncharacteristically more or less rolling over to A&M's fairly punishing drive in the final minutes, looking for all the world like a team that was going to have the last word. And, of course, Case McCoy demonstrating some clear thinking in the last minute that he really hadn't shown too much this season.
I hope Texas Aggies feel like it was a good game. We were certainly consoling ourselves with this thought at the 1:25 mark in the 4th quarter when we watched the UT lead melt away.
But then Tucker made the field goal. So, it was a good night to be a Longhorns fan.
