But he didn't really. He was playing in the SWC when most regional powers were flat on their as and uncompetitive. He had a very bad record against ranked teams.
1987 - He beat a #20 Arkanas who would go on to finish unranked. Beat a good Tim Brown ND team
1988- Played 5 ranked teams and lost all 5 games
1989- Best year - Beat a couple top 10 teams in LSU and Houston but then dropped a game to ranked Arkansas and we lost the Sun Bowl to a so-so Pitt team ranked 24th
1990 - Played 2 ranked teams all season and lost to both. Recovered with the big win over Ty Detmer and BYU
So he had a record of 5 wins and 9 losses against ranked teams.
Mond was worse in this category in my mind, but Bucky's rep as a big game dude is overblown when you analyze his career.

Don’t forget 1991.
SWC’s all-time rushing quarterback. He was SWC 1987 and 1991 championship teams. Honorable Mention All-America
1991 Consensus 1st-Team All-SWC QB
1991 Consensus Offensive Player of the Year 1991 10th in Heisman Trophy balloting
1991 Davey O’Brien Award finalist
1991 Aggie Heart Award Recipient
He went 4-1 v Texas…. when back then, the A&M v Texas game was the game of the year.
