Texans stay at No. 16

The Texans are still the No. 16 team in the country, according to the American Football Coaches Assocation poll.

However, in the national statistics, the Texans are No. 1 in tackles for loss per game, No. 2 in rushing defense, No. 13 in passing defense, No. 5 in scoring defense, No. 3 in total defense, No. 33 in total offense, No. 7 in rushing offense and No. 11 in scoring offense.

The Texans' Jamaal Steamer and Josh Douglas are tied for No. 7 individually in tackles for loss per game (2.13).

Roderick Smith is No. 3in scoring with 15.0 points per game.

So, if stats are worth anything, I would say we were better than No. 16, but I am not a member of the AFCA and can't vote.

What are your thoughts? Tell us what you think in the comments section.

Don't forget, the Texans kickoff Saturday in Weatherford, Okla. at 6 p.m. against Southwestern Oklahoma.

I vote that our guys keep doing what they are doing and don't worry about the rankings. We will shine in the end!
