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 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.

MIssissippi State held them to 61 yards rushing and ran for 141 yards on them. They also passed for 241 yards at 11.0 yards per pass. If we can take advantage of their secondary, we might be able to get some big plays.

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

My Aggie co-workers are chirping like never before this week. They are definitely taking the bait on thinking this is the year they get us. And they're doing it in such a smug way.

I really want to come out and plow them like usual. I bet Coach O does as well, given the whole Jimbo fiasco. Hopefully the players play inspired and get this one for him.

Everyone also thought that Miami and Auburn would be good this year. LSU can beat the Aggies and do so easily if Steve can make the proper adjustments and dial up some good play calling.

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

The schedule was supposed to be incredibly difficult. Turns out, it wasn’t.

You do realize we still have like the hardest strength of schedule, and strength of record this year right?

All the 6-6 talk was based on the schedule being more difficult. The Aggies have played a tougher schedule.

It looks like A&M is #1 with a 9.7 rating and we are #2 with a 9.6 rating. It will be a close game, but I’m expecting a victory. They shouldn’t be able to keep up with us, at least for this season.

This is exactly why...that and coaching. I disagree with the prediction that A&M will rush for 200 yards though. I don't see that happening unless the offense is so bad that the defense wears out and gives up.

It's such a crock that we suck so bad on the offensive side of the ball.
