Run game defense was a know problem all season. However, you're not allowed to make corrections mid season.

Lets go Derek Miller. Lets go Portal. Need Oline too. Linebackers? Yes.

Defense wasn't the problem, bruh

The defense wasnt the problem today

I swear my whole Aggie viewing life has been in big games we turn the other team's players into heisman contenders for one game

We gave up 3 points through 58 minutes of play and you want to crap on the defense?

Defense wasn't the issue today but it was a damn that was bound to break at some point and it did at the wrong moment. And the issue was there all season. Some big body DTs certainly need to be on the portal wish list.

I said it over and over and over this season, in the front seven only Regis and Hayes are truly physical for their positions. Overall, that unit is undersized and backers are slow on top of it. They made up for the physical limitations with scheme, good read/reacts, and aggressiveness, all season. Trouble is, when you don't read it well, blow your scheme responsibilities, and can't make up for it physically, you get gashed.

No defense was not the problem but this is just an example of how we dont show up in big games
we had offense, defense and special teams blunders in our last 2 games.

Be honest, it was nine points regardless of their kicker missing gimmees (defense didn't allow TDs and kept it in the game which is the positive).

But we have given up too many explosive runs this year and that's on the defensive scheme, DL depth, LBs not fitting and tackling. We still look smaller bs elite teams and Miami was more physical on LOS today easily (both sides).

Defense allowed a total of 10 points. Can't get much better. Scoring 3 total points , at home, is why we lost. Not our defense.

Didn't help that Howell no showed the last two games

Sure - we give up explosives and we have to fix it.

My point is Ohio State has an all world defense and if they hold Miami to 10 people will talk about how incredible that defense is.

We hold them to 10 and people are using it as an example of us not showing up.

Other that Tulane & JMU, 10 points is probably the least any playoff team will score this year. Unfortunately that also excludes us and our 3.

Defense held them to 10 points. There are a lot of other issues to blame for this game.

Mark Fletcher of Miami and Quintrevion Weisner of Texas.
Both backs ran for season high against the Ags.
Both backs had their longest run of the season against the Ags
Both backs had season high YPC against the Ags .



Biggest 2 games of season and we allow 2 backs to have season high numbers .


And we were 0-2
Can't stop the run you can't win.

Yep and we kept giving yardage up middle in chunks and never corrected.., how is that not a coaching deficiency?
