I think part of the success is the way defenses are having to respect the rest of our passing game. If others follow the A&M strategy and try to stack the box/push the center of the line to control the running game and try to affect Tua while also committing the necessary defenders to keep up with our wide outs, well, they are just going to run out of bodies to cover a tight end -- especially one large/fast/strong enough to keep up with our tight ends.
Yup..Teams have to respect Tua's ability to check down reading what what the defense is trying to do against us..Plus..I love what Coach Locksley has brought to our offense as our OC..

The best has gotten better & we will only get better..That's a scary thought for the rest of college football..

Was curious about the comparison between this year and last season. Looked at the numbers yesterday. So far the TEs have 16 receptions while they only had 24 in 14 games last year. They have 4 TDs in 2018 compared to only 6 all of 2017.
IMO: The difference is we have an OC who believes in utilizing all of our weapons.
Jalen was a weapon last year, but under this Offense TUA is a really big weapon.
