I agree that turnovers killed A&M in that game, but top offenses don't turn over ball 5 times to that caliber of a team. The fact that their o-line was destroyed in that game (6 sacks) and forced Johnson into bad decisions and 4 picks is not a good argument for your top offense.
      Yes. One of the best offenses in the country. To think otherwise makes you look very shortsighted.
      5th in Total Offense last year and 9th this year (despite a terrible FIU game).
      Jerrod accounted for 38 TDs and 8 INT with a horrible offensive line in a prostyle offense, so if you're argument is against Jerrod, again that makes you look very shortsighted. He is the least of A&M's problems.

      Jerrod made poor decisions, threw into double coverage, & was simply off the entire game. I don't care if you are the 2007 Patriots, if Brady throws 4 INTs by the 3rd quarter and constantly stalls your drives and gives them good field position, you will not win. As mentioned, he played much better in the 4th and made a great throw for a TD.

      The question leading up to this game is, "Will A&M play well on the road?" because they certainly didn't last year. They were two different teams at home and on the road. We'll see tonight.

        Personally, i'm just not buying into the defense hype when they're completely unproven and were just awful last year. They have yet to be tested and have a huge test tonight against OK St who has a coordinator who has had nothing but success scoring on teams and i'm pretty sure he led the #1 offense last year.

        Texas A&M has not shown they can win on the road in forever and certainly not in the spotlight, so I just can't understand why people love them tonight getting only 2-3

          I thought the Miami line was way too low last week and I feel the same about Ok St. Both teams have had 5 TOs in a game this year (A&M just last week) and that's enough to keep me away from the total. Ok St at home coming off an easy win vs. A&M on the road coming off a close game and both teams on 4 days rest.

          The edge has to go to Ok St.

            85.99% OKST to cover.
            14.01% A&M to cover.

            - Im locked in @ -2.5 @ 91.59%

                Yeah the defense has been great, but they've been at home and vs mediocre competition. They have yet to be tested. Ok. State's offense is not great. They are mediocre at best, btw

                  Well hit up Bodog if you like A&M, otherwise for you OK St supporters, find elsewhere. Hilton, Caesars, Mirage all at -3

                    Hey Wandalsh,

                    Here are trends from another good capper on another site:

                    * Undefeated teams in their first road game of the season off three straight home games are a solid 48-28-2 ATS in Game 4.

                    * Texas A&M has won 10 out of the last 14 between these two SU, including 5 of 7 at OK State.

                    * Teams playing their fourth straight home game to start the season are 11-20-1 ATS against undefeated opponents.

                    * Mike Gundy is 2-11 SU and 4-8-1 ATS verses a team off three-plus SU wins in a row

                    Hope this helps!

                      how can people truly believe A&M D is legit on who they have played so far. I mean, they gave up on average 31 ppg last year and all of a sudden they're top 25. Last year A&M also started 3-0 and was only giving up 18 ppg before playing real teams.
                      the fact that they are giving up around 150 less yards per game thru the first 3 games when compared to last year shows the defense has improved.

                      Jerrod threw 4 picks in the first 4 drives of the 3rd quarter, that won't happen against OSU

                        I'm not saying they're not improved, but people are acting like they're top 10 D ranking right now is how they're going to finish the year. They're barely in the top 10 by the way and haven't played anyone. How many of you A&M believers want to bet me that they hold Ok St to 24 pts, since their D is so great and OK St is just mediocre offensively?

                        Why can't it happen....Florida International a great D?

                              Who's acting like they are a top 10 defense? and what does FIU's defense have anything to do with it?

                                    The way people are talking about their defense and how they are ranked in the top 10 is making it seem like they really believe they are a top 10, just b/c they are a top 10 after playing the little poor children.

                                    The comments about FIU were to the guy that said Johnson threw 4 picks against FIU and that won't happen tonight. I don't see him being that terrible again, but if he made mistakes against that D, he certainly can tonight. Ok St should lean on their most experienced defenders in their backers to stop the run and force Johnson into rushed throws, hopefully making mistakes.

                                      I don't know anyone who thinks A&Ms defense is, without a doubt, legit. They are much improved, but unproven. As for the Jerrod comment, the mistakes were on Jerrod- not so much the defense confusing/causing the play. The guy was just off all game long. I'm not sold on Ok State being an elite offense, but I do believe they are a real good team. I expected the line to be OSU -8 so the opening line (and consequent movement) makes me believe that Vegas is on A&M. We'll see... GL

                                                  It's amazing that 75% of the public is on Okie St but 75% of the SBR posters are on Texas A&M. The books are in trouble.

                                                        I got Ok St and the Under. Feel like a bit of a hedge, b/c if Ok St doesn't blow this thing out and the A&M D really is the difference as people are talking it up, then it will stay under. Feel that both are good though as Ok St can score to win it, but running game might be more in play than people think
