Sweet! Just the way we like it. This team enjoys being underestimated and picked against.

FTA: “The Aggies are going to own the clock and control the game throughout. The nation’s second-best run defense will make Joe Burrow throw to win, and while he’ll have his moments, he won’t be able to do enough to pull this off.

At home, it won’t be scintillating, but it’ll seem like A&M always has the ball as it works its ways to 200 rushing yards and a fantastic eighth win in Jimbo Fisher’s first season.”

A lot of people are picking the Aggies because of our offense.

“LSU will go 6-6”
“LSU will lose to Miami”
“LSU will lose to Auburn”
“LSU will lose to Georgia”
“LSU will beat Florida”
“LSU will finish 5th in the West”

8 wins is fantastic when it’s what A&M has done 2 of the last three years?

Running the ball is gonna be a problem.

And when this team can't run the ball, ugh.

Not sold on this game as a win. Hoping but could see being disappointed.

The game really worries me, especially with the injuries we have on defense. I'm actually glad LSU is considered the underdog by many. Our players seem to play better when they have something to prove.I hope they enter Kyle Field primed and ready to rumble. I certainly expect the Aggies to be.

This will, one way or another, be a lopsided game IMO

We struggle at passing and rushing the passer... A&M is 104 in the country in pass defense and have given up more sacks than any other team in the SEC.

Weakness on Weakness, who will win out? I like the Tigers

Announcers we’re saying Aggies would win 10 games a few minutes left and in the Auburn game.

This might not be the best matchup for LSU, but I think it's a worse matchup for A&M. The line of thinking out there seems to be that A&M's run defense will force LSU to pass, and that this will automatically mean that our offense will struggle.

But the problem is that A&M doesn't have a good pass defense. As long as LSU isn't stubborn (which is always a possibility) and takes their shots down the field, I think we'll have enough success there to open up the run. LSU's number one problem is pass protection. I don't think A&M is all that good of a pass rushing unit.

lastly, their QB is not elite, and you have to be elite to beat LSU's secondary, at all. That means we can key in on their running game. I don't see them getting 200 on LSU, but if they can't pass, they'll need a lot more than 200 to beat LSU, IMO.

i think my preview is better than theirs. at least mine was substantiated by season long stats. and then they come up with these gems

quote:

Mississippi State and Florida were able to move the ball
state had 3 points. fitzgerald was completely stymied in that game. fla had 20 points mainly because of one of lsu's worst offense performances of the season

quote:

it is possible to run on this LSU defense
sure it is. but good luck with that.

quote:

LSU isn’t explosive enough to get into a shootout
how do they know this? lsu hasn't had to do this all season. the one example MIGHT be bama but they killed everyone this season

quote:

or come up with big comebacks
do you even auburn?

quote:

The Aggies will hold the ball for well over 35 minutes – like it always does
a&m is at 35mpg in conference games. lsu is at 31mpg. basically a wash

quote:

The nation’s second-best run defense
a&m will only be the 4th best sec defense lsu has had to play

doesn't seem like their perspective is built on solid ground
