Aggies give a different challenge to offense

The offense found its rhythm Saturday against Baylor, moving the football consistently throughout the game for the first time since the team entered Big 12 conference play.
This week, the Jayhawks will try to get similar results offensively against a defensive scheme that's the opposite of the schemes they've faced the past two weeks.
"Iowa State and Baylor were pretty standard in what they did defensively," coach Turner Gill said. "Now we go against A&M, where they're multiple in what they do
and how they do things and try to cause a lot of havoc on the defensive side of the ball."
Gill said this would give Kansas a challenge.
The Aggies use multiple fronts to disguise their defense and put pressure on the quarterback. The team blitzes more frequently than most teams in the Big 12.
The Aggies have been successful in their blitzes, ranking second in the nation in sacks per game.
"They want to hit the quarterback and rattle him, so we have to be good in protection," Chuck Long, offensive coordinator, said.
The blitzing brings extra pressure on quarterbacks, but opens up holes in the Aggies' secondary.The talented quarterbacks of the Big 12
have found those holes, leaving the Aggies second to last in the NCAA in passing defense.
"You have to find where they settle and hit the spots," Long said. "I will say it's a lot tougher on younger quarterbacks than it is on older guys. Guys who've been around and have seen all that from week to week, they can pick it out."
With the Jayhawks relying heavily on their run game, the teams will be pitted against each other in a strength vs. strength matchup when the Jayhawks have the ball.
While their secondary has been exposed, up front the Aggies are stout, ranking 20th in the nation in rushing defense.
"We want to maintain ourselves,
establish ourselves as a running
team," senior center Jeremiah Hatch said. "That's what we want to do, we want to run the ball."
With the Aggies ranking in the top 20 in the nation in passing, rushing and scoring, the Jayhawks will need to win the battle on offense to keep up.
If they don't, they could end up leaving the state of Texas humiliated for the second time this season.
Sophomore quarterback Jordan Webb said Kansas would have to take what the Aggies' defense dishes out and run the ball when possible.
"But when it comes down to it, you have to take the play that's called and make it work," Webb said.
