I also feel like we win. Against all logic.

No way are we beating Bama tho.

If Arkansas can toss up 42 on Aggy and lose by only 3, Aggy defense is suspect, not legit. Their defense is actually ranked lower than LSU's. Florida, who just fired its coach put up 17 on that D.

Aggies gave up 429 yards to Notre Dame and 527 to Arkansas, so their defense in their two road games so far has been less than rock-ribbed. Their performance at home vs winless Auburn and Miss St looked much better, however.

If past performance this season holds to form, expect a sloppy game with lots of penalties on both sides. I think LSU runs and passes effectively against this team. We just have to see if the goalline jitters continue or if they've found a way to get it across on first down from the two.

With the weather that's coming through, whoever can run the ball will win the game.


We can't run the ball, so, there's that.

Call me crazy but I even see a scenario where we beat A&M, roll into Tuscaloosa and somehow squeeze out a miraculous OT win against Bama, and then let Arkansas wipe the floor with us at home and BK beats up another table.

At this point in the season it's not that they don't show up. They're here. They just aren't good. Pretty much know what you're going to get from them by now

Because history tells you under Brian Kelly we are either going to win a close game or get blown out while at home. And this doesn't necessarily seem like a game where we are going to get blown out.

Man that's almost giving LSU a lot of credit. Idk though. Strange things have been happening. I wouldn't be shocked if LSU pulls it off this weekend but definitely don't expect it. I'm pretty sold on a loss in Tuscaloosa though. And not a close one. I'm over Kelly. I still had some faith in him prior to the season starting and all the pieces they had in place but at this point I'm done.

Both of these teams have mobile QB's and a good run game... we have neither.

MVB gives us the best chance of winning with his legs.

A&M’s defense is legit.




a little early to be hitting the pipe, buddy

-A&M's defense gives up 23.4 points per game. (61st in nation)(13th in the SEC) For the record, LSU's awful defense last year gave up 24.3 points per game.
-A&M's defense has only 2 interceptions on the year.
-A&M's defense does have 25 sacks on the year, but 15 of those came against Utah State, Auburn, and Miss. State.
-A&M's defense is middle of the pack in the SEC for yards allowed.

The Aggie defense isn't absolutely atrocious, but in no way can they be described as "legit"

Your only prayer is that A&M is a fraud, beating up the bottom of the SEC (opponents are 2-12 in conference). If they are actually good, LSU is going to take a beating.


They mat be frauds and it still won't matter for two simple reasons.

Their QB can move. We can't stop a mobile QB. Baker has proven that at this point.

This offensive line can't compete at an SEC level right now. Aggies are good on the defensive line.

This would be more exciting if LSU had an offense capable scoring thirty points. Arkansas, evidently, has the best P4 OLine in the country. LSU has the worst OLine in the country. A&M has one of the best pass rushes in the country.

No offense but any competent defense will look elite against this offense and especially this OL.
