Texas A&M 20, (13) UK 14 (OT) We give it a good go at Kyle Field/ College Station Tx. A&M simply over whelmed us on defense.  

Pictured above Darius West interception to the house for six. Our offence was taken out of rhythm early. Benny Snell didn't get going basically taking our force multiplier out. I question the call in over time to call a time out and change play. Just me being the Sunday morning quarterback. 

Off this week for some much needed rest. Extra practice and film room time. Keep up the good work guys. I know there is no moral victories. We held them to fewer points than (1) Alabama and then (2) Clemson.
