One thing I've noticed is that a little adversity that used to change momentum doesn't seem to have the same effect any more. We don't give up at all.

That was a masterpiece on defense. An all-timer.
A&M has a really good offense. I’ve seen dozens of games at ND Stadium (maybe around 100) and A&M this year was one of the most dynamic offenses I’ve seen. Concepcion and Craver are absolute burners. Reed can obviously run so well and he can sling it when he has good protection.
We did a great job of limiting them—never would’ve predicted we’d hold them to 3 points.
The way our DL gets pressure with 4 and the way they get off blocks to completely shut down the run is a sight to behold.
The defense seemed like it was on the field a ton and it was remarkable to me how they not only didn’t wear down, but seemed to get stronger as the game went on.

I am reminded that Jimmy Johnson said you’ll know Miami is back when their defense “can get there with four.”

The moment felt too big for Dawson today. Felt like he was trying to show everyone how much of an innovator he is and ended up doing way too much. These teams are way too talented and disciplined for all that cute ****.
Let's hope he learns from this and gets his act together by NYE because we have enough talent to get it done against OSU but we have to come correct.

If I’m not mistaken, we didn’t have one holding penalty or fall start from the offensive line. The line only had two penalties I think. One offsides and the weak roughing the passer on the final drive.
That’s impressive in front of 107,000 screaming people.
The biggest problem was Dawson’s playcalling for the first half, plus the wind affecting the kicker.
Better play calling in the first half in this game could’ve been 24-3 or worse.

This is something I won’t know for sure until rewatch the film, but I thought Lofton had his best game as a blocker all season
Canes never got Beck in a rhythm outside of the first drive in the 2nd half. So much focus on Mali that we forgot about CJ and Marion on the outsides. They were winning their one on one matchup. We left a TON of points on the board.
That wind was humming! When Austin the student pushed those two kicks before the game started, I knew that field goal kicking was going to be a problem. Those goal posts were literally rocking during the game.
That atmosphere was crazy. We dang near stood up the entire game and I was in section 414!!! Don’t like that they were playing music during our huddles to get the crowd going. That’s garbage and didn’t know that you could do that. Thought that was what the band was for. Hoping we can get back to using EVERY weapon against OSU.

Would have helped if JoJo ran that full route at full speed.
Did he ever get back in the game after that play?

Dawson kind of figured it out in the second half what works and what doesn't. He's got a lot of **** thrown against him from me this year, but not today. He immediately said after the game that he ****ed up and I respect that.
He had a plan, I get what he tried to do. Elkos defenses attack downhill, so he tried to soften them up with misdirection and horizontal plays - they were just waiting for that at the expense of missing run fits whenever we ran north and south. If he tried to do it the other way, setting up the perimeter with north and south running, who knows if the game would've been this close.
Ultimately, the last drive was Dawson understanding how the game went and going with the best plays we had. Aggies were dialed in on Fletcher and that opened the run lane for Toney to go around the edge. Play was so well designed and blocked up, nobody came close to touching Toney.
