re: Serious question - Aggies, what are you expecting from Jimbo this year?

All trolling aside, I see Aggies say this constantly. What makes the defense "look to be very good?" It wasn't that great last year and was frequently gashed in the running game, I get that you guys had a lot of young players who are back now so is that the reason for optimism?

All trolling aside - don’t take Aggies word for it. That’s an opinion widely held by the college football world.

But to your point, I do recall Durkin inexplicably using 3DL in obvious running situations last year. So, I’ll revise to say the defense should be good if the coordinator does his job competently. But the pieces are there to compete.
