A&M held Bama's O to only 26 points by John Maplethorpe
A&M "held" Bama to their lowest yards per carry of the year. Almost 40 percent below their average ypr. Also their lowest point total.
A&M is still #14 in defensive efficiency after playing the 2nd hardest schedule to date nationally.
"Aggy d sux" is only a thing on the rant. They're good.
I agree. TxA&M is a very good team. Only losing by 19 might closest score all season after the fluke at Ole Piss.

So the only defensive stat that matters is the one that paints Aggy D is a positive light.
Not at all. The more complete metric gives you a better picture. If A&M wasn't getting stops, TFLs, turnovers, etc. they wouldn't rank high in DEF Efficiency. There's a reason coaches like Bellichek and Saban talk about yards per play and points per posession. Vegas sharps and handicappers too.

Also this "efficiency" stat you keep hammering on has Virginia Tech at #7. A team that gave up 45 to Tenn and 31 to Syracuse so according to your most important stat VT's D is better than LSU and Auburn's D.
So far Virginia Tech has been playing very good defense this year. The defense wasn't the problem against UT, 5 turnovers was. VA Tech held them to 91 yards passing. Here you can see why scoring defense(by itself) can also be very misleading.

If Lane Kiffen doesn't abandon the power run inside 20 on the first two drives we win by 30
This 100%. My BFBF (best friend bama fan)
and I said the same thing. Sometimes Kiffen gets too cute in his play calling.
Funny thing is we were able to say the same thing at
the start of the LSU game.

Kiffin is just trolling Saban.
