The Scouting Report
The homecoming game might last about an hour considering how much
the Aggies like to run the ball along with Bethune-Cookman’s desire to
stay on the ground. Four different players have more than 100 yards
rushing this season for the Wildcats, and they are just three yards away
from having four men over 200 yards rushing. Fred McCaskill, Maurice
Francois, Androse Bell and Matthew Johnson have all played key roles in
the Wildcats running attack. Francois has also thrown for 229 yards and
his partner at the quarterback position – Matthew Johnson – has thrown
for 462 yards and a touchdown. The favorite target has been JeVaughn
Reams who has 27 receptions for 369 yards. Defensively, Reggie
Sandilands leads the Wildcats in tackles with 46.
Third Down Defense
The Aggies have been remarkable defensively on third down. The
Aggies are good at getting offenses off the field by stopping them on
third down. So is their opponent this week. The Aggies and the Wildcats
rank in the top 10 in getting teams off the field on third down. The
Aggies rank fourth in the nation in 3rd down defense efficiency, while
the Wildcats lead the nation. Opponents have converted just 24 percent
of their 3rd downs against the Aggies this season. Meanwhile, the
Wildcat opponents have converted just 16.5 percent of their third downs
against B-CU. The Aggies are on pace to have the best defensive showing
in terms of preventing third down conversion since the 1995 team limited
teams to just a 24 percent (33 of 135) third down conversion rate.
