SEC Mike always says he is concerned with A&M defense, especially run defense. Did he not look at the Total Defense and Rushing Defense stats for Alabama? He never mentions how poorly BAMA defense is playing this year in comparison to A&M when he discusses them being the top 2 teams in conference.
Total Defense in conference play:
Texas A&M #1 at 304 YPG
Alabama #6 at 351 YPG
Rush Defense in conference play:
Texas A&M #6 at 106 YPG
Alabama #10 at 155 YPG
BONUS STAT: the delta between A&M Offensive yards gained, and Defensive yards allowed is a positive 143 yards per game, which is the highest delta in conference.
The delta between Alabama Offensive yards gained and Defensive yards allowed is a positive 16 yards per game. Not up to BAMA standards whatsoever.
