Wow, this was a surprise. I thought this week would be a little easier, maybe that was our teams problem too. We played CU very close for the entire game. But two fumbles by Colorado made the difference in the game. One was in the fourth quarter that we took in to score 3 points. The other was in overtime that ended the game for the A&M win. This game would have been great to see, either in person or via TV; but, the networks decided two weeks ago that it wasn't worth televising. Don't you know they are kicking themselves now.
Reggie McNeal didn't look at all like a Heisman trophy candidate for the first 40 minutes, but he sure did for the last 20 and overtime. He threw the ball poorly for the first half and part of the 3rd quarter, but then he really stepped it up. CU scored and took a 3 point lead with 1:03 left in regulation. Reggie took us down the field and almost scored a TD on a run, but we didn't have enough time for another play so we kicked the field goal to take us to OT. In OT Reggie ran or passed for almost every yard. After a touchdown being called dead at the 1 we couldn't score the TD, but the defense came through with a fumble to end the game. Reggie now has 195 pass attempts without an inteception. That is an A&M and Big 12 record and an absolotely incredible statistic. Not only is Reggie good enough to win games, but he makes so few of the mistakes that can cost you a close game. The Heisman committee should certainly be looking at him. 22 rushes for 139 yards and23 of 38 passing for 243 yards and no INT. Of course, he didn't rush or pass for a TD, he must be slipping.
