HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - You could imagine the bumper stickers:"Don't Blame Me. I Play Defense."
Alabama A&M is going to Alcorn State Saturday in still another under Bulldog position. It has lost three in a row and sits at 2-6, 2-4 in the SWAC, with four games remaining.
Despite the record, statistically Alabama A&M has the best defense in the SWAC. It has allowed the fewest points and fewest yards. Its opponents have the fewest first downs and A&M is second-best in preventing third-down conversions.
By the same token, its offense is last in scoring and pass efficiency, seventh in total offense.
A&M would seem a football equivalent of those two theatrical masks, one with the broad smile, the other scrunched up in anguish.
As young as this team may be, there is a certain maturity present. Outwardly, at least, the players aren't playing the blame game.
