Texas A&M fans' most controversial and heated offseason debate has finally been put to rest

Aggie fans were going back and forth a whole heck of a lot over the long summer months about exactly how good offensive coordinator Collin Klein actually is at his job— but that debate has finally been put to rest.

Despite the fact that he came to Aggieland with such acclaim, there were a lot of fans who became disgruntled with Klein's performance down the stretch of last year, which was always puzzling to a certain different section of fans. Once Le'Veon Moss went down, it became tough for the Aggies to get hard yardage at key points in certain games— the game against Texas is an example that many appeal to— but the offense overall was far improved from the previous year, and even the earlier part of the season.

Now, though, there's really no arguing the point: Collin Klein is an elite offensive mind, and it is his bona fides that will lift the Aggies to a huge year if that is indeed how things go in College Station.

Collin Klein settles Texas A&M's most heated offseason debate with wunderkind OC performance

Against one of the most talented defenses and secondaries in the entire country, it was an utter schematic mismatch in favor of the Aggie offensive coordinator. Klein drew up play after play to dice up the Notre Dame defense, making the perfect call time after time.

One great example is the pass to Rueben Owens that went down to the goal line in the second quarter. The route combinations are a thing of beauty, and Reed pulled the trigger at the exact right time.

The final play call was a genius one as well, as Klein made the move to go to a guy who hadn't gotten a ball all game. It turned out to be the exact right call, as Notre Dame was playing heavily against Craver and Concepcion, who had been burning them all game.

It's worth mentioning, too, that the Aggies are currently perfect in the red zone, scoring ten times out of ten— with nine of those being touchdowns. That obviously ties the national lead for scoring percentage, but it also puts them sixth in the nation for red zone touchdown percentage.

This is shaping up to be a big year for the Aggies on offense, and it has everything to do with Klein's coaching. The dissatisfied grumblings about him need to stop yesterday— he's proven that he's an elite mind at the position.
