1. The defense and DeMarvin Leal

The Aggie defense has been fantastic through three games. They are the top-scoring defense and top passing defense in the nation right now and the rush defense ain’t too shabby either.

They only allowed 89 rushing yards against New Mexico to go with 33 passing yards allowed. Those are pretty small numbers, but they will for sure get tested against Arkansas which averages 41 points a game.

My biggest game ball goes to DeMarvin Leal, though, shown above with Michael Clemons grabbing one of the 1.5 sacks that he put together. He is also the leader of this defense and has shown throughout the season why he is.

He earns a game ball from me and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him earn another against the Razorbacks.
