628 yards against that Bama defense? Damn. I think we have the fire power offensively this year to beat Bama. But we have to find a way to stop Manziel.

Bama's D is nothing special. They shut down VT, but so what? VT is turning out to be one of the worst teams in college football this year. We'll move the ball on them, they'll move the ball on us, and we'll see who wins. A&M has a horrific D. I think we can outscore them.

I think Georgia is the real test for this team. That will be a tough one.

I'm not concerned about one more than the other. Both will be close games. LSU will be in every game this season.. just like in every other game LSU's ever played under Miles except maybe Florida and Georgia in 2008.

LSU's offense will be a difference maker this season and will be a major factor in LSU potentially winning both of those games.

Boy y'all are underestimating our D! Our line is much better then theirs (bama's) more athletic! We will keep him contained and put our tallest DB on that big WR they have! I would put Rashad R on him! Our D is getting better and better & I bet they focused more on their offense then defense for A&M! We shut them down last year! I think we do it again and cause TAs and mistakes! Our run game is better too! Keep the ball away running the ball and play contain on D..... Where them out on D and score at will! I think we beat em pretty good this year! I also think we beat GA good too! 42-24 or something like that! We must create TAs and prevent mistakes & tackle! We do this and I think we go undefeated this year and Mett is in the running for hiesman! Just MHO! Lol this year is ours..... Now if we can just end this recruiting class well???

...our defense jelling than any opponent. Our offense is head shoulders better than it was last year, or the year before, or the year before that.

If the defense jells into something resembling a typical LSU defense, we can beat any team on our schedule.

I'm not because Chavis does a better job than Saban in stopping the Aggie offense.Saban the defensive genius, gave up over 600 yards. How can that be?

Unless this defense grows up very fast you should be concerned with both.
There is no doubt talent there but it's young and inexperienced.
We haven't faced an offense within the same hemisphere with aTm or Bama.

I think both will be a challenge but we now have an offense that is really going to help matters. Glad we have at least one at home. Also these Aggie players have never played in Tiger Stadium.

I can only hope our defense tightens up as the season progresses. Bama and aTm back to back is going to be a big mountain to climb. Both those teams are the real deal. Of course, our Tigers are pretty "real" too. So barring the unforeseen (gotta get past the other big SEC games with a W), these two games could be monumental.

TAMU is a tough matchup for Bama. Bama and LSU both have had great Ds the last few years, but Bama averages about 15 pounds heavier across the front 7. LSU doesn't give that up because we can't recruit as well; Chavis puts faster, lighter guys out there. So when it comes to playing Ducks and Aggies, the Tigers have the quick athletes to contain them. Bama doesn't. Bama will matchup better with Georgia, LSU, and other power teams.

This morning, the only team we need to be concerned with is Auburn.

We will win a shootout against aTm it will probably be similar to the Bama aTm score.

Bama will a tougher game just because we are over there and Saban always finds a way to adjust. But don't think their offense is the best in the country just because they ran up yards and points against a young not so talented aTm team.

If LSU is playing their best football in both games we go 2-0

I disagree. A&M has no run defense or pass defense for that matter. We can outscore them if necessary - just like Alabama did. We also play A&M at home.

On the other side Ala. is for REAL once again. They have solid offensive line although A&M is no benchmark as we all saw on Sat. We also play Ala. at their place.

Ole Miss is looking better and better. They will be a challenge in the West as well. Just got to play the games one at a time.... Too many good teams in SEC west: Ala, A&M, LSU, and Ole Miss along w Miss St., Auburn, and Ark. Very challenging.

Do you at least take solace in how terrible A&M's D is?

Our defense and the chief is better equipped to handle aTm and JF. Plus we get them at home.
