I'm not saying they need to go to the ground and pound, but they do need to get out of the "throw the ball 40+ times a game" offense. I'm not sure how well an offense that is more focused on the run will work with what Sumlin has always run. Coaches can adapt, but that may be asking too much. Their defense is an utter disaster. I have little comment other than just focus on stopping the run.

We were 7th in the SEC in total defense and 6th in scoring defense. Utter disaster is probably strong. If we were an utter disaster then half the defenses in the SEC are among the worst in the country

Sort of hard to run the ball when you are playing with a roster that had less players than USC or PSU with NCAA sanctions.

A&M only had 2 scholarship running backs last year after they moved Brandon Williams to CB. James White got injured in the first game. A&M was running a walk-on against Bama (Etwi).

This year, scholarship #s are almost normal for the first time since they entered the SEC. A&M has 5 running backs on campus this Spring and should have 6 by the Fall. All were rated 4-star or better by at least one scouting agency.
