Are we worried at all by A&M's defense?

They are #1 in the SEC in yards allowed (#8 in FBS) at 286.5 per game (better then Georgia). Looking back on their games there have definitely been moments when QBs have feasted (Miami's QB got 374 and 5 TDs).
This game is essentially the Daniels for Heisman closing argument so he needs to go off on a better defense then Oregon will play all year. Are we worried at all?

Their front 7 is great. I hope Diggs is healthy. If not, Josh Williams will be key.

Worried about ours. Two more games of worry ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)

QB pressure and establishing a run game are legitimate concerns. The 2nd half of the UF game is a good example of how the staff was able to adjust to more pressure than we’ve typically seen and respond with a huge half.
A&M is better than UF up front, but as long as the OL can give Daniels time, their secondary isn’t that good and can definitely be exploited. The more interesting challenge will be creating lanes and opportunities for Daniels and the backs running the football.
I was very happy to hear that Diggs will be back. He and Williams are good backs for this kind of game.

We will carve them up like we did Bama. The difference between Bama and A&M, on one hand, and the rest of our competition on the other, is the occasional sack that could end a drive.

I don't know if Walter Nolen is 100% but if he's anywhere close to that, we are going to need Charles Turner to play out of his mind. That is really the only match-up that worries me.

They have a really solid defense. If Daniels has another great game against that team, he has to win the Heisman.

After last year’s collapse against A&M, I am very worried about this game. It would be JUST LIKE LSU to frick up JD5’s Heisman chances in this game.

A little. I mean, these guys have families too. We should be a tad bit sympathetic to the humiliation that they will have to endure as JD pads the frick out of his stats on them.

If you think for one moment that this isn’t Aggie’s Super Bowl then you are mistaken. They have a very solid defense with several LA kids on the roster. They will be hyped for this showdown.

Unless they're dense we shouldn't act like we will do better against A&M than Georgia State as some are thinking.

A healthy Diggs is going to take the pressure off of Daniels if our line can get a little movement up front.

Avoid sacks, which LSU has done a good job of this year due to Daniels' legs, and LSU will be fine.
I don't see LSU scoring 50+ against that caliber of defense, but 38-42 should be doable. I am unsure if LSU's defense can keep A&M under that number.
There's no denying A&M has great talent on defense, especially in the front 7, but their overall numbers are a bit inflated by shutting down bad offenses.
They've played four teams in the top 50 offenses, giving up an average of 33 points per game in those contests. Competent offenses have moved the ball on them.

TAMU is similar Bama defensively. Difference is TAMU has a better DL but worse secondary. They have given up 321 to Bama, 374 to Miami and 387 to Ole Miss QBs. Jayden can get to 400 passing a 4 TDs with another 100 rush yards and 2 TDs to finish the season winning 45-35. With Daniels, it's more about who you got that can open field tackle him, and they don't have anybody and LSU players immediately go to blocking when Daniels takes off.

AS long as JD5 is healthy, no- I am not worried about scoring points...
no one can stop LSU's offense...no one has, no one will

No, that’s what I pay CBK for.

No. We moved ball on bama
