Forcing 7 TO's makes up for it. I'll take TO's, Red Zone D, TFL's and Scoring D over yards given up all day every day. You can get some yardage on A&M and even score some but A&M is going to make plays on D as well.

7 TO's and still giving up 700yds is quite the fricking accomplishment actually. Christ........


And fwiw, A&M is currently #33 in scoring defense giving up 23 per game. 98th in total defense. That redzone defense? Through 6 games opponents have gotten into the redzone 26 times: 7 rush TDs, 4 pass TDs, 6 FGs. Alabama and LSU are low on that list because Bama has only had team in the Red Zone 15 times, LSU 17 times. All of that shite won't matter after this weekend though for either team. Ole Miss and Bama are going to put up points.
