Why does A&M continue to use the young excuse on defense?

DT: SR, JR, SO, SO
DE: JR, FR, SO, FR, FR
LB: SR, SR, SO, SO, SR
NB: JR, SR
CB: SR, JR. FR-RS
S: SR, FR, SR, FR

By my count you start 8 SR/JRs on defense. I just don't understand the narrative. You will actually be younger on defense next year when you have to replace almost the entire back line.

Maybe because Tim DeRuyter was the shittiest recruiter of all-time, and all of our talent is young. Crazy concept I know.

All A&M, all the time. So much effort to end up looking dumb. Congrats on being Agsessed.

Because their Daddy, LSU, uses the same excuse... Like father like son.

Because they don't want to admit their DC is as bad in his job as Matheny is as the Cardinals Manager. (Or Jon Daniels as Rangers GM)

That might be the two deep but if you look at starters its this

DE: FR
DE: JR
DT: SO
DT SR
LB: SO
LB: SO
LB SR (Walkon who replaced a sophmore)
DB: SR
DB: RS-FR
FS: FR
SS: SR

So 5 of the 11 1st stringers are Junior classification or higher.

All that said, "young" is absolutely an excuse and I would generally be okay with it if these young players were actually playing better instead of worse each week.

all the ags I've been around can't stop talking about how bad we suck on defense. Never heard a one making the age excuse.

A&M is running the bend before we break defense. It's not about age, ask any single middle age woman that.
