TAMU's run defense has been awful all season. A big reason why is the play of their linebackers.
Defensive coordinator John Chavis was brought in by Texas A&M this year to fix a defense that had been one of the worst in the SEC. He's accomplished that goal in some ways but in other areas the defense has been just as bad as it was the year before. Unfortunately, the area where the defense hasn't improved is in stopping the run. What's hard to believe is that by the numbers alone they have improved even though they're ranked as one of the worst run defenses in the country.
