LSU - A&M 2012 ... Feeling Great about 2013

Just watched LSU vs A&M at Kyle Field, 2012, and it makes me wonder, why would A&M fans feel confident heading into our rematch this year? Just like in the Cotton Bowl from 2011, our front 7 gave the Aggies fits and our secondary made INTs (JFF threw 3). This was of course after Chavis bailed out of his typical 4-3 in the 2nd Quarter, although I don't know why A&M gave up on the interior running game, which was more successful than JFF throwing in the 1st Quarter when they were leading. Once we challenged Johnny Passing Academy's pocket presence he wilted. Luckily for A&M, Mettenberger had his worst game of the season (admittedly this 1-game comparison shows it flaws here, as that doesn't bode well for LSU next year).
Another thing: the guy's game isn't without weakness. He runs backwards out of the pocket too often which doesn't work against a fast D. I'd need to see more evidence of his arm strength to say he'd even be a 1st rounder. He was accurate except when throwing down-field. As I remember he looked pretty good in this department vs. Bama. He doesn't have the quickness of a RB and leaves himself vulnerable to injury, but he gets by scrambling with instinct and speed.
Bottom line: when their offense is clicking they can beat anybody, but they got manhandled by UF and LSU's defenses for 5 out of 8 quarters. Beating Bama and LSU in the same season seems impossible, not probable.
Also, a question:
Did Bama run the similar 3-3-5 that allowed Florida and LSU to shut down A&M or just a variation of their 3-4?

If you were on Trayvon's side you think A&M will beat LSU.
Coincidence? I think not.

Anthony Johnson totally pulled a bourbon street Krystal's on Johnny Manziel that day. He is the one that went in dry.

funny how brian griese kept talking about how manziel was a "freshman" and his mistakes are understandable as if mettenberger had started games before 2012

It's astounding, isn't it?
For a fanbase whose team actually beat us, they have shown a remarkable level of anger towards A&M.

I wonder what caused that phenomenon?

Losing the chicken bowl will do that to a fan base, I guess

I don't know, what normally fires you guys up besides your annual beating from Bama? Bad gumbo?
