Christine Michael rushed for 105 yards and Texas A&M's defense showed obvious improvement from last season in the Aggies' 48-7 season-opening victory Saturday night over lower-division Stephen F. Austin.
A&M senior quarterback Jerrod Johnson, who set eight school records in 2009, completed 28 of 40 passes for 322 yards and two touchdowns. The Aggies finished with 539 yards - 192 coming on 55 running plays.
The A&M defense, one of the nation's worst last year, held Stephen F. Austin to 266 yards and 13 first downs. The Aggies have switched to a 3-4 alignment this season under new coordinator Tim DeRuyter, who replaced the retired Joe Kines in the offseason. Source: cbssports.com
