Texas A&M quarterback Stephen McGee was victorious Saturday (47-45 in triple overtime against Fresno State), but his postgame disposition betrayed the usual joy that comes from a win.
McGee made no apologies and became testy with reporters when questioned about the one-dimensional approach of the coaching staff."I'm so tired of hearing (about throwing it more)," said McGee, who completed 13 of 24 passes for 79 yards and one touchdown. "When it comes down to it, we're a team. We're going to do whatever it takes to win.
"Today we did that. That's what it comes down to: getting the ball into the end zone. Offensively, we ran the ball every freakin' time, and they did not stop us. I wouldn't see us doing anything different. That's what we are about: getting the ball in the end zone."
I smell a Herm Edwards speech coming ("you play to win the game!"). This may be one of the rare moments in modern football history where a quarterback could care less about the forward pass.
I watched the fourth quarter and overtime of that game. McGee's right, the Aggie run offense was never stopped, but Fresno State came damn close a few times if not for some incredibly gritty "want-to" runs from both McGee and man-mountain tailback Jorvorskie Lane.

It's not the offense that's the problem for the Aggies. They need to step up on D. As long as they can run, they should until someone stops them. McGee can throw when he has to (just two INT's all of last season). But it's the defense that has to step up for them to have any chance of hanging with Texas, Oklahoma, etc.
