La tech is the 2nd worse defense in FBS.


While I agree that their defense is as loose as Sasha Gray's a-hole, (Dammit, now I'm including texags bullshite) there are now 124 teams in FBS, not 120.

If you include the 4 new FBS schools:

Total Defense - 123 out of 124

Rush Defense - 69 out of 124

Pass Defense - 123 out of 124

Scoring Defense - 109 out of 124

I didn't forget about the LB, but IMO the 2 deep safety is more critical since against the La Tech offense we will play 1) base nickel and 2) dime on passing downs: meaning 2 LBs will be off the field half the time and 1 all the time.

LA Tech has no defense - it is a myth. They will score, but we should pretty much score at will. That is the difference.

The LA Tech defense is rated worse than Arkansas. WORSE THAN ARKANSAS.

I'll be flipping channels from PN to PNU. If the Lsu game gets ugly, I'll stay on the U. Should be entertaining for the scoring. Good to see Tech in the top 25. Could LSU end up playing Tech in the Weedwacker bowl if things don't work out for either during the season?

Don't forget that Tech is also No. 2 (NO. 2) in the nation in turnover margin. While they give up points and yardage, they also take the ball away. Johnny Football better not turn it over.

We had SIX turnovers last week and still won. Those were the first turnovers we had all season. With the exception of last game, A&M was very good at protecting the football.

Would have been better for Tech if we had smoked Ole Miss. You do not have the athletes to contain our offense. Hopefully KK gives him the green light to run rampant as opposed to "working on the passing game".

If so, he will have a monster night. Also hope we run the ball, because our OL would run your DL off the field. However, should just wish to win the lottery. We are a passing team now.

If LA Tech wins, I am preparing for the end of the world in December.

No offense, but that was Ole Miss. Tech laid a beatdown on Ole Miss last season.

That is true, and I don't think Tech has lost much since last year. I think aTm wins but it may be closer than most would think.

Past tense, they had a dead in the water coach and had already fallen on the grenade. With that said, nothing is ever certain and if football were just played on paper it would be called pussyball.

La Tech has a great turnover ratio because they have managed to not turn the ball over themselves. A&M had one turnover going in to last week as well and had a great turnover ratio. Eventually that stat evens out some.

Anything can happen but if it is a straight up game devoid of big turnovers A&M should win easily.

Go look at the La Tech TO ratio... the ratio, not the plus or minus margin.

It's 2:1 FUMBLES:INT in five games.

Most teams, like 95% of teams, will be at around 1:1 no matter where they are ranked in TO margin. I think it's a five game anomaly, and they must have played a team that was completely on glue. Has anybody seen them play? Why does it look like two fumbles a game? Was that mostly in one game, or is it actually closer to a two fumble per game?

They score at will and get scored on at will. That pretty much sums it up
It's one game though. TCU thought they would steamroll Tech in the bowl game last year and got taken down the wire. This situation will be no different

If A&M loses tomorrow night, we won't win but one more game the rest of the year, SHSU. We have the talent edge, coaching edge, etc... After last week this team should take nothing for granted.

If we lose this game, it means we straight up suck. IMO

La tech will probably keep the game within 48 points, unlike some other schools we could mention.
