The game wasn't in doubt, but Rice ran 91 plays and had the ball for 43 minutes. A&M's defense has a few guys that are major upgrades from last season, but the defense is still pretty bad.

Rice played a great game and against A&M and their QB especially was slippery as frick. Sloppy game for the Ags.

Still, when we can have all 3 of our starting LB's out and our offense has an off game and we still give up only 10 points I'll take it. Last year we give up 28 easily.

One thing the SEC needs to be aware of is Myles Garrett though, 6 Sacks in 3 games. He may well break Clowney's Freshman sack record of 8 next week. A&M also really needs Jordan Mastrogiovanni to get healthy. He is our best MLB by a good amount and makes running up the middle a very different scenario than without him. We are really hurting for depth on D but there is talent there.

Our 3 best linebackers were out, and we lost 2 DTs to injury as well. We're not to the point where we can sustain those types of losses without a drop off.
