aggies have a top 5 run defense in the country. it is no surprise that when lsu cant run the ball they struggle.

Ummm because our offense is terrible. Just scratch the Rice game from your memory because just about any team in the nation can roll up yards and points on that defense.

And even Rice was able to sack Burrow once.

We play well as the dog. A&M has a decent run game but they struggle throwing the football. Our offense plays just good enough against teams with good defenses. On the road playing a team with better statistics, is the reason and then they love Jimbo for some reason. This is the game that I have wanted to see the Tigers win all year. You can believe that Coach O wants this one bad. Should be a very physical game. We will miss not having Fulton on the hot corner. It is a good thing that, the QB is not elite.

One of the best run defenses in the country, probably the best RB we've played all year, we have a bad offense, and we're on the road.

Think we win but also don't find it ridiculous to be the underdog there.

home field advantage is usually worth about 6-7 points in CFB for spreads. So on a neutral field they would put us around 3-3.5 point favorites, and if we were at home wed prolly open as 7-10 point favorites



winning on the road against good teams is hard hombre, and vegas knows that

You're missing how bookies make their money and what the betting line means.

The betting line is in the Aggies' favor because more Aggie fans are giving the points and betting on their team than there are Tiger fans taking the points and betting on their team.

Our offense is trash
A&M has a great run D and does a good job of pressuring the QB

They have a good defense and we can't move the ball. Being on the road also plays a part.

Everyone's entitled to an opinion but those people that say we're going to win by 2 scores without any realistic roadmap as to how to get there are going to be crucified as you say.

That and the rest of the offensive staff has obviously done a pretty terrible job on the development front. When you still suffer from rampant dropped passes and can't execute a simple screen pass in week 11 against a team that belongs in a lower-tier FCS conference, it ceases to be a simple problem of "the players aren't doing their job!" or whatever, and reflects on the staff's inability to teach and develop the players or to put them in positions to succeed.

I can see us winning if we get a defensive or special teams touchdown or two. I just don't see us consistently moving the ball on them and don't see us winning by multiple scores. A&M is kind of a better version of Auburn from my viewpoint at a basic level. I just have a bad feeling about this matchup and the progress or lack thereof on offense from the top down. Here's hoping I'm proven wrong.
