Texas A&M 47 Fresno State 45

Oh geez, we just escaped a doozy against Fresno State. After smoking in the first half, we were DAMN LUCKY escape this one after three overtimes. I'm still trying to revive my heart after suffering massive heart attacks in the second half. Why is it that we have to go through these close suckers all the time in the Fran-era against opponents we should be just flat out killing?

I'll get into tomorrow as to what didn't go right tomorrow (and there will be plenty of that), but today my hat goes off to our running heroes Stephen McGee and the J-Train for shoving it down the Bulldogs' throats down the homestretch. In the last drive of regulation, you got the feeling that Stephen was going to will the offense to score the badly needed touchdown after Fresno State just gashed throughout the entire second half to pull even. Now, if only we could pair him up with a couple of wide receivers who can (a) get open, and then (b) hold onto the freakin' ball.

And as for Jorvorskie Lane, after a lackluster start to the season against Montana State in which he looked out of shape again for the seventeeth time in his collegiate career, he was the brusin' J-Train of last year to punch in the win against a tired Bulldog defense at the end. His second effort to grab the first down in the third overtime after being hit from behind the line of scrimmage was the key play of the game. Jorvorskie Lane, I salute you!
