Call me crazy but the most impressive part of this game to me was that it was the Aggies defense that kept them in the game and ultimately won the game. Say what you want about penalties, etc., but rules are rules and are a part of the game.
Also, sometimes but for the infraction, the play wouldn't have happened the way it did. For instance, often times an OL holds, especially on passing plays, because he is otherwise beaten. The hold thus allows the QB to get the throw off and the td to be scored rather than a sack, a hurry, tipped pass, etc. We don't know what would have happened because of the violation.
A&M made the plays it needed to win the game, the Hogs didn't. That's football. The positive I continue to see is that their defense appears to be "growing up" on a weekly basis. And that should be a very scary thing to their future opponents.
