Seen enough to think this defense will be no where close to elite. But I think they'll be good enough to win every game, if the offense ever shows up



Scoring D: 9th (8.7)
Rush D: 83rd (154.33)
Pass D: 9th (147.3)
Total D: 31st (301.7)
Red Zone Score %: 15th (67%)
Red Zone TD %: 6th (22%)
Long Plays from Scrimmage 10+: 24th (30)
Long Plays from Scrimmage 20+: 11th (7)
Long Plays from Scrimmage 30+: 3rd (1)
DEF SP+: 3rd (11.9)
Football Outsiders DF+: 6th (1.6)

All this when you consider we're losing the TOP badly. Ranked 123rd.

Not perfect, but this is a very strong defense so far and they're still getting healthy, unsuspended, and unkicked out for targeting.

The LOS play is the concerning part, both against the run and the lack of pass rush, as I expected this to be one of the strengths of the team. We’ve struggled to get pressure even against the two weaker opponents. Perhaps with a better TOP split and more rest for the DL that would improve. On the flip side, this is the best secondary I can remember watching at A&M.
