ok - much better performance on offense in the second half.

Nice run by Alexander there. Good to see.

Swann now 15-29 for 194 yards. The play calling matters.

And once you establish you can move the ball - the d has more to worry about and everything gets easier.

And I agree with my first assessment.

Not running up the middle all the time is making all our runners look better.

Alexander has had particular success (and two tds) running wide.

I do feel much better at 40-10. The 12-3 half was largely self-inflicted, but A&M played hard. They are clearly running out of gas.

I hope we can get some subs in - and remain focused.

Nice return by Hight.

We are improving our speed.

I love that play for Seals. Roll out - short, sure. 35 yards for Sherrill.

And another short, sure toss for a TD. 47-10.

Much better.

Credit to the offensive brain trust - they righted the ship at half. Now they just have to trust the stuff that works going forward.
