John Chavis' LSU defenses were known for stellar secondary play. That reputation seems to have followed him to College Station.
Texas A&M's run defense is one of the worst in the country but as bad as the defense is against the run, it is a completely different story versus the pass. Whether you look at advanced stats or traditional stats the Aggie defense is one of the top teams when it comes to taking away the pass. It should be pointed out that the TAMU has two of the best pass rushers in the country but when you watch these guys on film what jumps out to you is the fir and intensity of their defensive backfield.
