So let me ask a question. Is your environment the same at 11 as it is at night? Should A&M beat South Carolina and Auburn on the road and at night? Yes. 100 percent. BUT, if you follow college football at all, night environments mean crazy things happen. You take a bunch of people who really don’t care around noon or so and then get liquored up and all of a sudden it gets real to them. South Carolina and Auburn are no joke places to play at night. Should have won…but night games are not as easy as day games because they provide a different kind of energy. Texas had no night games on the road. Vandy was one of your tough ones?? In front of 28K..mostly burnt orange fans. Arky at 11 on the road..ask Tennessee if a night game may have mattered.
Struggles? Yeah Bowling was a bad game. Arky is close every year in a rivalry game at Jerry World. Florida wasn’t a struggle and again they had a full team at their place. You played them at home with 8 starters out. You struggled with Arky and Vandy and again had no tough environments in the SEC schedule.
Listen, I’m tired of A&M making excuses about crap..you have to win, period no matter where you play but good teams go down at night. Ask Alabama how OU’s environment was last night. It matters, and you just didn’t have to experience it this year.
