Mettenberger said the Aggies stacked the line of scrimmage to stop LSU’s running attack, something he hadn’t seen other opponents try yet this season. That created opportunities for long passes, but Mettenberger said the swirling wind at Kyle Field affected his touch.

“It was really tough to throw those deep balls accurately today,” he said. “Before this game, we really hadn’t taken many shots downfield. Next time, we have to capitalize on the deep balls.”


So I thought we here on TD always seem to say that teams stack the line? What gives?

He can't read a defense.

Sounds like something JJ would have said.

I can actually believe this somewhat. The wind was much worse than it looked on TV.

A&M played a lot of the game with both safeties close to the line of scrimmage. The WR's on the outside were matched up 1 on 1 the majority of the game.

I was at the game and was kind of amazed how close both safeties were playing to the line.
