re: I do not see aTm having any real shot of beating us.

I think LSU will move the ball well vs. A&M. A big variable is the fresh DTs A&M got. If any can step in it could help somewhat - but vs. LSU OL even if they play well LSU moves the Ball.

What worries me is that LSU had the baddest fastest DL maybe ever last year. We are reloading but I will have to see in first few games how they play. It seemed last year that A&M was either shut down like LSU/FLA, or JFF ran wild. Not much in between. The new Left OT for A&M will be a top 5-10 pick and another OL may leave early. Their OL will be one of the best.

I just hope we don't have open lanes. If A&M gets open lanes they almost cant be stopped. We would have to just outscore them.

But if our D reloads as usual - no problem.
