This was a slow first half performance. There's no doubt about that. After a questionable decision to go shotgun on a 4th-and-goal scenario to eventually get stopped at the goal line, Aggie fans were definitely concerned to say the least. There was definitely some silence inside Kyle Field a lot during the first half.
The offense started to come together by the second half, but the defense had another amazing performance, especially from guys like Dalton Brooks and Cashius Howell. Even some newcomers came through when fans didn't expect it.
Here's what Mike Elko had to say about his outstanding defensive performance.
