They are 7-4. Two losses came from the current #1 ranked team, Alabama and the current #2 ranked team, Clemson. The other two came from Mississippi St & Auburn. The of those losses were on the road.

They did beat UK and I think there is a lot of comparison to this year's UK team and LSU.

A&M's offense is currently ranked 23rd. LSU's offense is currently ranked 87th.

To some degree I think MSU sort of exposed our offense. We scored the one TD in the first quarter then after that we had 4 FGs.

I have no idea what A&M's game plan is, but I would imagine to some degree they will focus on shutting down the run game, forcing us to have to pass.. Throw some blitzes at Burrow, causing him to have to rush getting the ball out. If they can force 3 and outs by our offense early, it keeps our defense on the field.

The first few possessions will be very important. We have to get up first and make A&M play from behind.

I know we are ranked 7th and A&M isn't ranked.. But it's all about the matchups and this will be a big win for both programs. We win, we finish 10-2 and will likely gets a New Years 6 bowl game. Also, a lot of shite has to happen, but at 10-2, if ND losses and OSU beats Michigan and then goes on to lose the Big 10 title game, there will be talk about whether or not LSU should be in. While that isn't likely, if we then go on and beat a quality opponent in the bowl game that gives us momentum going into the offseason.

If A&M wins, Jimbo Fisher finishes 8-4 his first year and there will be talk about how LSU didn't hire Jimbo and that he is a better coach than O, etc.. So this game is actually pretty big for both programs. As they say "what does the odds makers know that we don't?" and when you see lines like this.. Where people will think picking LSU is a sure thing because they are a top 10 team and A&M isn't even ranked there is usually a reason why they open the line at whatever it opens at.
