re: Johnny Football vs LSU

I'm an A&M student but I am also a fan of objectivity. Everyone has opinions of what will happen, but here is a collection of what has happened. *Numbers with (st/nd/rd/th) are rankings

A&M's Offense:
- 47 PPG (5th) & 562 YPG (3rd) (1st in SEC in both)
- 3rd Down Conversion: 53% (8th)
- Manziel: averaging 392 yards, 4 TDs, & 0.8 TO per game
- Only faced 1 defense (Florida) in top 60 defenses (in either YPG or Points Allowed per game)
- only scored 17 points against Florida

A&M's Defense:
- 21.8 PPG (37th) & 405 YPG (72nd)
- 14.8 PPG before La Tech game
- 615 yards against La Tech last week
- 300 passing YPG (113th)
- 19 PPG vs. SEC opponents (3 games)

LSU Offense:
- 31 PPG (44th) & 395 YPG (67th)
- 13 PPG vs SEC opponents (3 games)
- 215 RYPG (24th); 180 PYPG (110)
- RZ scoring %: 78.5% (75th)

LSU Defense:
- 12.7 PPG (5th) & 207 YPG (2nd)
- Passing: 135 YPG (3rd) / Sack %: 9.5% (9th)
- Rushing: 72.8 YPG (5th) & 2.2 YPRush (3rd)
- Takeaways pg: 2.3 (20th)

My Take: A&M has proven to be an elite offense and Manziel finds ways to make plays. Manziel will likely need to alter his approach and not rely on his feet in crucial situations because of LSU's unbelievable team speed. LSU's defense is loaded with NFL specimens and plays dominant team defense. Both LSU's offense and A&M's defense are fundamentally unsound, so look for both sides to gamble for big plays.

My prediction: LSU wins 30-24

Miori out.
