3 reasons Texas A&M football coasts to win over BGSU: Aggie defense bends but doesn’t break
Through the first few games, the defense for Texas A&M football has not exactly covered itself in glory when it comes to red zone performance. When teams get within 20 yards of the end zone, the Ags have had a tough time keeping them out.
The good news is that the Aggies also rarely allow teams down there. They only allow two red zone trips per game—so even though opponents have scored every time (four touchdowns and two field goals), A&M hasn’t been hurt by it.
I think they begin to shore up this ugly spot in this game. Elite red zone defense is a hallmark of top-tier defenses, and the Ags have all the pieces to be just that. BGSU can pick up yards with their excellent TE and short passing game between the 20s, but once the field begins to shorten, I think the Aggie defense will begin to really make things tough on the Falcons.
