A&M's loses basically their entire defense


That's not true

But we did lose 3 major cogs in Porter, Moore, and Nealy.

Our secondary is vastly improved and I believe we are fine at LB. Our DL is an area of concern but I trust our DL coach (Terry Price) to make them serviceable.

All in all I expect our D to be a little worse than last year and our O to be a little better. The major difference is it'll be the whole year whereas last year we were pretty slow out the gate. Thankfully UF was our only tough early season matchup or we could've easily had another loss

Lose your run stoppers and main quarterback rushers. That's huge.

Didn't Louisiana Tech pass for like 500 yards against your secondary. Again, yall lose Moore. The main guy who was pressuring the QB all the time.

Heck, Mett missed about 5 open LSU wide recievers that had good separation from your secondary 25 yards down field. SEC is not a passing conference so they were not exposed like they should have been.

Yall finished 9th in the SEC in total defense. Ok, I'll give you this statement.

I think your offense will drop a little from last year. Yall lose 2 offensive lineman and Ryan Swope. Plus, the SEC will not be surprised this season by your "Big 12" style offense. The defenses will be ready for JFF. Still might not stop him but they will slow him down better.
