3. The defense comes up with three turnovers

This defense, especially the line, is going to be freshman-heavy. The secondary has some experience with guys like Jaylon Jones, Myles Jones, Demani Richardson, and Antonio Johnson.

There is a bit of experience on the line, too, but we will see a lot of freshman play this weekend and those kids are extremely talented. Look for three turnovers, whether they come from fumbles or from interceptions. I’d say two come from Richardson and/or Johnson, as both of those guys have the chance to be All-Americans this year, but it really could be anyone.

This defense is going to be strong for the Aggies this year, assuming that Jimbo Fisher and new defensive coordinator DJ Durkin are ready to use the talented personnel that they have to put together a championship defense.

Look for the turnover party to start early, kind of like Tennesee did to Ball State on Thursday.
