The long painful collapse of the Texas A&M football season that began with an embarrassing blowout at South Carolina in the tenth week, finally ended in the Las Vegas Bowl in the early morning hours (Texas time) against a different USC.
The bowl game matched A&M (8-4) against Southern Cal (6-6), with the Aggies as slight favorites (about 3.5 points). The game was carried on ESPN with kickoff at 9:30 PM (Texas time). The Aggies played reasonably well on both offense and defense in the first half, and were able to build a 24-7 lead in the third quarter (which was still going on at midnight, when I called it quits).
USC outscored the Aggies 21-7 in the fourth quarter, and pulled off a 35-31 comeback victory. The winning touchdown was scored with just eight seconds remaining in the game.
Frankly, I'm glad the season's over for A&M. Now I can concentrate on the CFP games still to be played.
