Now, take care of business against A&M on Saturday.

The 2nd run really hurt.
You knew you weren't getting through a road game against a top 5 team without them putting on a run. Suddenly we went from up 10 to down 7ish. Then we pulled it to within 3 and lost the plot again.
They answered the first run and that's what good teams do to win those tough road games. But then they allowed the 2nd run and you really just can't do that against excellent teams on the road.
Oh well -- shouldn't be any harm done. They acquitted themselves nicely in that game and battled their asses off to the end. Tennessee is good and we didn't play quite well enough for the full 40 minutes to steal it. Shit happens.
