We won't win another game until 2026, and yes, Shapen should have gotten that ball out sooner

Guys it’s nobody’s fault. Sucks. But injuries happen.
You can’t be stubborn and when you have a thin roster you have to think long term.

that drive should have been Taylor and Guyton getting some good reps and let your starters live to fight another day.

Could have just as easily been Shapen getting hurt on another sack the next play..

was also a bad decision by Shapen because he’s getting tackled for a loss there anyway - then compounds it with a bad throw.

when it’s not your night, don’t tempt fate

At that point in the game, down 31-9 with under 3:00 left, should your best players, maybe the best player, still be in the game on offense? Hell no. But no one ever cares because hidden end of the year garbage time offensive stats are what it’s all about.
A&M still had their starters in. Fluff getting hurt is on Shapen

It doesn’t matter what A&M was doing. Does it? Why? You have to do what best for your team and the rest of the season. Down 31-9 with under 3:00 minutes. It’s your best player on offense at running back. Think about it. It’s not rocket science. Garbage time stats make a coach look good at the end of the game and year, but let your best player get hurt for the year doing it, and it’s on the coach. No excuse.

Nobody does that. Nobody.
Down 31-9 with under 3:00 minutes left, yes they do lol. And who cares what nobody does or doesn’t do anyway? Why does it matter what other people do? You have to do what’s best for your team and the rest of the season.
