Since stepping into the SEC fray, the Texas A&M Aggies have done nothing if not step up their game.
Always an explosive offense, their defensive woes were enough to lower the ceiling on their potential success, as to thrive in the SEC West, a team simply must have a workable defense. As the old saying goes, offensive fills the seats, but defense wins championships. After resisting the maxim for a few seasons, Aggie head coach Kevin Sumlin has become a believer, so much so that he added SEC old guard defensive coordinator John Chavis to his staff after poaching him from divisional rival LSU.
