but that talent still is up for judgment until it plays, as is all incoming talent for any program.

That's true. I will caveat that by saying that the last time A&M had the kind of defensive talent they signed in 2014 and are poised to sign in 2015, the Wrecking Crew happened.

Remember the Wrecking Crew?

The 1991 defense allowed a TOTAL of 146 points in 12 games (just over 12 ppg). The one anomaly? A 35-34 loss at Tulsa. Take that game away and they allowed just over 10 ppg over the other 11 games.

The 1992 defense allowed 196 total points in 13 games (just over 15 ppg). That included allowing 30 to Houston and 28 to Notre Dame.

The 1993 defense allowed 143 points in 12 games (less than 12 ppg). That included allowing 44 to Oklahoma, 24 to Notre Dame, and 2 shutouts.

The 1994 defense allowed 147 points in 11 games. (just over 13 ppg)

From 1991-1994, A&M allowed a total of 632 points. To put it into perspective, the 2013 defense allowed 419 points. That's almost as many points as the 1991, 1993, and 1994 seasons combined.

The following notable players played on defense between 1991-1994:

Sam Adams
Antonio Armstrong
Jason Atkinson
Patrick Bates
Marcus Buckley
Quentin Coryatt
Eric England
Derrick Frazier
Larry Jackson (current S&C coach)
Ray Mickens
Kevin Smith

Dennis Allen (current Oakland Raiders coach)
Reggie Brown
Aaron Glenn
Ed Jasper

Donovan Greer
Brandon Mitchell

Dat Nguyen was a redshirt on the 1994 team FWIW
