A&M's Fisher defends facemask grab of Dodson

Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher on Monday stood by his grabbing of linebacker Tyrel Dodson's facemask -- an action that drew much reaction and some criticism following the Aggies' win over Arkansas on Saturday -- during his weekly news conference.

Fisher, who was seen on video grabbing Dodson's facemask and yelling late in the third quarter of Texas A&M's 24-17 win over the Razorbacks, was asked on Monday by local reporters if, after seeing some of the comments in the aftermath, he had any regrets about the incident.

"Listen, I was trying to get a young man's attention is all we were doing," Fisher said.
