The first-ever on-campus College Football Playoff game at Kyle Field turned into an absolute slog. And Texas A&M fans made their frustration known in the most bizarre way possible. No. 7 seed Texas A&M was hosting No. 10 seed Miami in what was supposed to be a watershed moment. But instead, it devolved into an offensive nightmare with both teams combining for zero points well into the game. Mike Elko’s offense had been so anemic, so utterly incapable of moving the football, that at least one fan decided the only appropriate response was to start throwing eggs onto the field. 

Texas A&M Police went viral on social media for their running commentary of fan ejections and citations throughout the game. Their tweet read, “Section 334. Subject throwing eggs. Ejected. #BTHOmiami.” The police department’s Twitter account became primetime viewing as frustrated Aggies fans melted down in the stands. Earlier tweets also documented someone bringing seven Fireball shooters into the stadium and another fan instantly dropping their beer upon seeing an officer and switching to water.

The offensive futility on display has been genuinely shocking for a Texas A&M team. The Aggies’ first drive of the game went 12 plays for just 32 yards before punter Tyler White had to boot it away from Miami’s 43-yard line. Quarterback Marcel Reed completed a nine-yard pass to Micah Craver on the opening possession. But then immediately went backward with an incomplete pass and a one-yard run by Le’Veon Moss on third-and-one. The drive stalled, setting the tone for what would become a pattern of incompetence.

On Texas A&M’s second possession, Reed connected with Craver again for nine yards, scrambled for five yards on third-and-five to keep the drive alive. Then he promptly watched the offense sputter with a complete pass for negative three yards. After punting again, the Aggies’ third drive ended with Reed getting sacked and fumbling, capping an absolutely brutal first quarter where Texas A&M managed just 63 total yards.​ 

Miami’s offense hadn’t been much better, which is the only reason this game remained scoreless for so long. By the time the second quarter rolled around with the score still 0-0, Texas A&M fans had seen enough. The Aggies have struggled all season to find consistency at quarterback after losing Conner Weigman to injury.

This was supposed to be the moment where Texas A&M’s home-field advantage would overwhelm Miami and propel the Aggies toward a quarterfinal matchup. Instead, it became a showcase for everything that’s plagued this offense all year: conservative play-calling, an inability to execute in the red zone, and a quarterback who can’t consistently make plays through the air. 

The egg-throwing fan in Section 334 might have been ejected. But they weren’t alone in their frustration. They just happened to be the only ones willing to turn breakfast items into projectiles as both teams continued trudging through one of the ugliest CFP games in recent memory.

Moss’ night goes from bad to worse

Just when Texas A&M thought things couldn’t get any worse during this offensive disaster. Their star running back, Le’Veon Moss, was seen walking to the locker room after getting shaken up during the game. Moss had only just returned to action after missing the final six games of the regular season with an ankle injury suffered against Florida back in October.

Head coach Mike Elko had been in “wait-and-see” mode all week regarding Moss’ availability for the CFP matchup against Miami. And while the senior running back was cleared to play, his night was painfully brief.

Moss’ contribution before exiting was minimal, managing just seven carries for fifteen yards as Texas A&M’s rushing attack went absolutely nowhere against Miami’s stout defensive front. The Aggies desperately needed their lead rusher to provide some semblance of a ground game against a Miami defense. But it never came to light. This was a bitter end to a season that was otherwise full of hope.
