As Texas A&M made its way down AT&T Stadium's field in the fourth quarter against Arkansas, those on Twitter were incredibly skeptical of the Aggies' clock management.

With A&M down by three in the final minute of regulation, the Aggies were 21 yards away from a go-ahead touchdown. Instead, A&M opted to drain the clock, tie the game with a field goal and try to win in overtime, a plan that worked in the 50-43 victory over the Razorbacks.

But even after the win, there were still enough questions about the decision that A&M coach Kevin Sumlin went out of his way to address the situation during his radio show on Monday night.
