    Epic comeback. He was great down the stretch, but some blame needs to be pinned on A&M...

    A historic, monumental choke job by Texas A&M. Sumlin is a dead coach walking. (I still think Mora is a goner also).

    Josh Rosen is the real deal. 35/58, almost 500 yards, 4 TDs, 0 INTs and leads his team back from a 34-point 2nd half deficit.

    I'm not going to keep saying this and be an a**, but Rosen won't be this good the rest of the season. I'm pretty confident in saying that.

    Hahahaha you've got to be kidding me. I turned it off at 44-10 Aggies! How is this even possible, Aggies? Just run the ball and run the clock you idiot morons.

    Worst loss:
    Texas not showing up against Maryland, a bottom two Big Ten basketball school
    The Rapists on the Brazos losing to Liberty/Jerry Falwell U, a DII, (mostly) online school
    A&M blowing a 44-10 lead late in the third quarter

    Some serious moxy, but I agree. Two of those touchdown passes should've been picks - the one underthrown and through the DB's hands, and the other throwing back footed on the run to no one in particular.

    Getting your starting qb injured with a 5 score lead was also not so bright...

    You are stating the obvious. It's not even remotely possible he could continue these stats the rest of the season. At best, I think UCLA will stumble and bumble going forward and make a mediocre bowl game with Rosen as the bright spot.

    Unless he's injured, Rosen is a lock to be a top 10 pick next year.

    Just saw they lost their starting QB....still no excuse for the defense to blow that lead.

    But the back up was completely ineffective...

    To clarify, I think he's a mediocre QB, and regarding the draft, I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole.

    Serious question: How much have you seen him play? Forget the fact he was hyped to a ridiculous level.

    In your opinion, what are his fatal flaws?

    Mad that A&M choked that. Now they're guaranteed a new and upgraded coach.

    That's how Texas fans felt after Chuck Strong choked against Kansas.

    The Longhorns and Aggies just keep embarrassing the great state of Texas. This is football country son. Good grief.

    The jury is still out on Herman, but he's off to a horrible start with the loss to Maryland. But, that choke job the Aggies pulled off takes the cake. Sumlin should really be fired immediately. The Aggies lost their starting QB in the second half, but they had a 34 point lead. Sumlin had a senior QB he could have played, but he went with the 18 yr old. All they had to do was milk the clock and take the win. Did they milk the clock? Nooooooo they did not. I couldn't believe it.

    The Aggie defense was bad in that final quarter, but they were exhausted in the extreme temperatures and couldn't keep up as Rosen found his groove.

    The people of Texas deserve better than what the Longhorns and the Aggies are giving us. Embarrassing.

    Kids from Texas don't know how to play football anymore. They only teach dumbed down defensive sets and spread passing.
