Was it perfect? No. But there were plenty of positives to take away from Texas A&M’s shutout win over Sam Houston on Saturday. A few numbers to consider...
- 0: Points allowed. Even against cupcake opponents, shutouts are a rarity in college football today. This defense’s dominance was a great sign for the future, especially in game one for new coordinator D.J. Durkin.
- 1: The number of wins A&M got in Week 1. As trivial as that sounds, never take it for granted, because some heavily-favored teams this week weren’t so lucky.
