re: Does A&M Actually beat UF in College station this year?

I wouldn't put a lot of stock in stats from last year for good or bad to predict this game either. A&M played in an offensive minded league last year where almost everyone ran a no huddle if not a hurry up and slung it around. Tannehill was the #8 pick in the draft and many would argue he was no better than the 4th best QB as well. Just the volume of plays alone in the B12 compared to the SEC was significant enough to throw off the stats. It's how A&M could have the dichotomy of leading the nation in sacks and being one of the "worst" teams against the pass. The truth is somewhere in between.

Same logic applies to UF. They didn't face a ton of high powered offenses that rolled up big stats and ran a ton of plays. Remember WVU had some huge numbers against LSU but that didn't make LSU into a crappy defense.
