No need to jump yet after the drubbing in Colombia last weekend...if there was ever a better matchup and team to get the ball rolling against look no further than the A&M Saggies. Here's 10 reasons to keep your sanity for the week:
1. The A&M Defense statistically is worse (check that worse) than K-State.
2. Their weekest link being on the D-Line where they have managed to give up a leagues worst 203 rushing yards per game and 20 touchdowns on the ground.
3. They are 2nd to last in the big 12 in sacks @ 11 total on the season. Yes, the Buffs have generated more sacks. When you compare to Texas' 37 sacks, FSU's 22 or Mizzou's 20 our O-Line just might provide some time to pass and some holes to run through.
4. A&M is also dead last in the Big 12 in Sacks allowed at 22 sacks given up. The only other team we've played this year that has given up close to this many sacks is the CSU Rams and if you remember week 1 our DL looked dominant.
5. The A&M offense is also the worst rushing offense in the league averaging 112 yards per game and only 902 yds on the year. Which somehow is actually worse than our beloved Buffs.
6. A&M's biggest defensive problem is a rushing QB. Josh freeman ran for 4 TD's, Zach Robinson ran for 2. (Didn't the Buffs just find one of those QB's??)
7. A 1 demensional offense even can succeed. Take Army who only passed the ball 1 time the entire game. Rushed for 280 yards, their QB accumulating 128 of them and barely lost.
8. Jarrod Johnson is not Chase Daniels. He doesn't have the arm & he definately doesn't have the feet. The scramble threat is not there.
9. Can the Buffs play mad similarly to Mizzou last weekend??? I'll take the gamble that we can and we will! We at least have something to play for!
10. We are 4-4 with a good shot at a bowl game. If there's a time to jump off the cliff it would be if we lose this weekend. Otherwise KEEP THE FAITH & GO BUFFS! :thumbsup:
