That's why inside the Cowboy camp, the theme is not "DE-FENSE!” The rallying cry is "Finish.”

"Finish, finish, finish,” said associate head coach Joe DeForest. "Just finish games.”

The Cowboys didn't do that last year. Truth is, they gave away two games that should have been victories. OSU dominated Texas A&M much of the game, led 20-10 after three quarters and lost 24-23.

The Cowboys jumped on Texas 35-14 but lost the fourth quarter 24-0 and the game 38-35.

That was the difference between a 7-6 season and a 9-4 season.
