Five most ridiculous overreactions after Texas A&M football's loss to Notre Dame

5 worst takes after Texas A&M football's loss to ND: The defensive line is just average

Texas A&M football exited the night without a sack. I went on record predicting them to notch three or more, so I obviously didn't exactly expect this result, but as I wrote multiple times this week, it seemed possible, if Denbrock schemed the game up a certain way, that the ability to record any sacks would be greatly diminished.

The one time the Aggies got home, in one of the rare instances that Leonard held the ball for a while, the blitzer was unable to get him to the ground. After that, the Irish went right back to quick passes and runs, not giving the Aggie defensive front a shot to get home.

But take a look at the havoc rate generated by this A&M team. For most of the game, the Ags were bottling up the runs between the tackles, leading to several tackles for loss—even if they weren't getting home on dropbacks, they still affected the game to a high degree.

Could they have produced more? Absolutely. Were they overhyped? In reality, that's yet to be determined, but I feel as good about them after last night as I did going into the game.
