This will be Joe Burrow’s first game against Texas A&M but it won’t be the first game against their defense.
Texas A&M’s Mike Elko runs a very similar base defense to Alabama. That Crimson Tide defense smashed the LSU offense to bits (as is tradition) but the Aggies defense is not nearly as dangerous as Bama’s.
Burrow will be up against the country’s 89th overall passing defense but the Ags do get after the quarterback. They’re 11th in defensive sack percentage. I’d like to see Burrow take what he learned from playing against Alabama’s defense into this game.
