Dont forget 9 of the 10 B12 teams are making a bowl...

More thank likely A&M's D would still break at some point and they would lose a conference game in the B12. The pressure that the style of play A&M and the B12 plays put on the guys in the secondary makes things happen and makes it much easier for a dumb loss to happen. All it takes is talent a the skill position and not quite enough legit guys in the 4 deep at corner to give those teams a chance.

The bigger question is, how did one of the worst teams in the B12 become a front runner in the SEC in a span of an off season? Either A&M squandered a ton of talent or the SEC is not ready for A&M's style of play.

The type of teams we struggle defending are prevalent in the Big 12.

We could have easily dropped one to OSU or OU.

did you not watch us last season? we had double digit leads in every game except OU. we should of went 12-1 last year but Mike Sherman is terrible at making adjustments.

its neither. its that we finally have a competent coaching staff. we have a roster that has multiple 5 star and 4 star recruits, its just we have had some of the WORST coaching staffs that have messed it all up. the difference is that now, we actually have a decent coaching staff that knows how to use our players

Here are the following players we lost last season:

QB - Ryan Tannehill (#8 overall, 3 star QB)

HB - Cyrus Gray (4th round, 4 star RB)

WR - Jeff Fuller (UDFA, 4 star WR)

OL - Brian Thomas (transferred to Texas Tech, kicked off team, 3 star OL)

DL - Tony Jerod-Eddie (UDFA, 4 star DE)

DL - Eddie Brown (UDFA, 4 star DT)

CB - Coryell Judie (UDFA, 4 star CB)

CB - Lionel Smith (UDFA, 2 star CB)

CB - Terrence Frederick (7th round, 2 star CB)

S - Trent Hunter (not even UDFA, 3-star S)

K - Randy Bullock (5th round, 3 star K)

Add that to the juniors and seniors we had on the roster this year, and the answer is simple: piss poor and pathetic coaching.

The worst coach on the staff last season was also the worst coach on FRANCHIONE'S staff under the previous regime (Charles McMillan - DBs)
