    Almost no chatter here about this game it seems like.

    Personally, I'm worried about this one. The optics of a loss isn't good with Jimbo as their coach. We usually just push them around, but they have been outstanding against the run this year and we haven't been consistent protecting or throwing the ball.

    I think it comes down to the end and could be a coin flip

    Thoughts??

    Vegas agrees. Last time I looked A&M was a 1 point favorite.

    Concerned about passing plays taking too long to develop, allowing Aggie DL to pressure Burrow, reducing our passing game to what we’ve seen the past several weeks. No reason to believe WRs have learned how to catch. No reason to believe OL will give Burrow time.

    If our passing game sucks, our running game sucks.

    Aggies have a strong running game. If our offense doesn’t contribute to the win our defense will eventually buckle.

    Return game will continue to be blah. If we can get in FG range, should be good. Punt coverage should keep field position fair.

    Final exam - is E ready?

    Gut feeling - expect disappointment in a loss. Offense is feeble and defense can’t win every game. Please prove me wrong Eaux.

    To me losing this game is not just about this game. I guarantee you Jimbo sees this game as a crossroads. I know it's just his first year and he'll have other shots at LSU, but if he wins this one, the optics are that his program is ascending and LSUs is descending. And you know he's gonna sell that to recruits...

    I think this is the most important game of the season. Win it and we are in the New Years 6 game and LSU is still better than A&M. Lose it and it's back to a glorified exhibition game and instead of us "coming" up to Bama, Texas A&M is "coming" up to LSU....

    Maybe I'm just reading too much into it....

    I actually think we’ll match up well. 28-17, good guys.

    aTm has just a absolutely awful pass defense. You think the LSU pass offense is bad? aTm’s pass defense is worse.

    LSU wins by at least 7. Vegas is too busy staring into their own buttholes to see it.

    I think LSU wins by 3, but I don't feel great about it

    There's a reason the lights burn 365 nights a year in Vegas. You wouldn't notice that though.

    The good thing for us their secondary is not good at all. They have a good Dline though.

    I doubt we run much on them.

    As always, I have full confidence in our D...
