I wonder if DeRuyter, a former Air Force officer, picked that up from D-2 during their football-Corps dine-ins at Duncan.

Against the 2011 Aggies, yes. Maybe even against the group that lost squeakers to Florida and LSU earlier this season. But Texas A&M has gotten better with every game, and these Aggies refused to choke. "Kevin Sumlin is our football coach," Porter said. "He won't accept that. He won't accept second-half letdowns."
Still, as the fourth quarter wore on, Texas A&M seemed on the verge of collapse. After Manziel's touchdown pass stretched the lead to 12, Alabama's Amari Cooper zoomed past Matthews, and McCarron hit Cooper for a 54-yard touchdown. On Alabama's next offensive play, McCarron hit Kenny Bell for a 54-gain to the six-yard line. On the field, Porter remembered something former Texas A&M defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter used to say. "Forget it," Porter said, "and drive on."
