He took over a defense that has been bad for years and gave us this even after playing ranked teams in Clemson, Alabama, & Kentucky.

Considering we're thin at linebacker and a shite sandwich without the bread at CB, that ain't bad.

I don't know if he is the best DC or not, but it's hard to argue that he's done the most with the least this season. And we didn't even have to guarantee with 10 million over 4 years.

Its Aranda and every expert will agree that its Aranda. And dont come at me with stats when your defense has played nobody.

Elko is incredible. He was awesome at Notre Dame last year.

Reauxl, as a fellow LSU fan .... you need to watch more football if you don’t think Elko is nasty. Him and Aranda are equals.

The fact Elko could build a good defense at Wake is as impressive as anything he’s done at ND or A&M.

I hate agreeing with you farm people. But you’re dead on about him.

Now talk shite so we can disagree again. This feels uncomfortable.

That was his point - even with those 2 games and those 2 opponents they still rank in the Top 20 in most total defense categories.

Considering Clemson is averaging 42 PPG (28 vs Aggie) and Alabama is averaging 54 PPG (45 vs Aggie) it's not awful (though Alabama could have scored 60, to be clear).
