I think his point was Ole Miss gave up the 3rd most yards in regards to passing per game 





Doesn't really mean a ton.

LSU gave up the most passing yards of anyone in the country last season and Mond only managed 105.

That's because there was no need to pass the ball. The weather was crap and the only way A&M could lose the game was by turnovers. So they played a conservative ball control game and were up 20-0 until LSU scored a garbage TD with a minute left. LSU's offense could not get going until that end drive and the Pick 6 to make it 20-0 put the game out of reach.

A&M played to win and not for style points and they won comofortably without the game ever being in serious doubt. Yet LSU fans have become the biggest moral victory fans for A&M having mediocre offensive stats in that game I've ever seen. You would think you were Troy playing Bama the way you talk about only losing by 13.

It's weird and honestly kind of sad.

Sure it does in a small sample size. If one of his two starts wasn't against one of the worst pass defenses in the country than his numbers wouldn't look like that.

Doesn't mean he isn't good, but context is important.
