A&M's def will never have great stat totals, simply by the nature of increased possessions.

Totals don't matter though, only efficiency metrics. W/L's basically come down to Points per possession for offense and defense.

I would be worried about Kevin Steele's issues against the spread (which he's had at every stop in his career).

You're looking at A&M, Ole Miss, Miss State, and Auburn every year. He'd better figure it out.

Well, in that case, you might want to take a look at what those offenses did to LSU's defenses the last few years minus A&M. And LSU had much better talent on the roster. A&M's offense will certainly not be like the shite fest LSU has put out but they better be able to keep up because Chavis' defense will give you heartburn a lot of the time.

A&M gave up 365 points last year compared to LSU's 228, which was the most in the west. and LSU's always been pretty good againts spread teams, most of the time when they lose it was because the other team was more physical. The best way to beat the spread is to have lockdown corners that you can count on in man to man to free up the rest of the defense. We've always had that.
