Going in to today’s Oklahoma game, I was thinking a 42-24 loss for my Aggies. That, in itself, would’ve been a huge improvement over last year’s 77-0 debacle in Norman.
Kyle Field was rocking and the Twelfth Man was in full force. The Ags started hot, surging to a 21-7 lead but unable to shake the Sooners. Alas, a disastrous start to the third quarter brought an end to a 28-21 halftime lead. A muffed kickoff return, a punt, an interception and a fumble saw the lead evaporate. The Ags rallied to tie in the fourth with a touchdown on a bold fake field goal to add to a TD on a fake punt earlier in the game. The Aggies couldn’t hold on, finally falling 42-35 when a two 37-yard prayers to the endzone went unanswered. Oh so freakin’ close on that last tip.
Nice game for the folks in maroon. A little short, but a hell of an improvement. Looks like probably a 6-5 year, plus a bowl game.
Oh so freakin’ close.
