What we learned

A tremendous performance by the A&M defense. Sure, the opponent was nothing more than an SLC also-ran, but that same Cardinal team probably scores 17-24 points against last year's Aggies and Mark Snyder's unit absolutely decimated Lamar for four quarters. The Cardinals managed just a single field goal, converted 4-of-19 third downs and ran for only 90 yards on 38 attempts and senior Caleb Berry managed to complete just 40-percent of his passes.
