Simple math.

20+3+14+10+27+57 = 131

131/6 = 21.8

Good enough for #36 in the country. Not bad after facing some pretty good offenses.

South Carolina has a much better defense and A&M. I don't think it takes a great defense to contain LSU though.

However, A&M looks like they have a better offense than South Carolina. A&M's offensive line is definitely better than South Carolina's line and that will allow Manziel to have more success than Shaw. They will be able to match up better against LSU's very good defensive line.

I think it will be another close game for LSU, but I tend to think LSU will win in the end.

Firstly, those friends are extremely unintelligent if they did say that A&M's D is better than Carolina's.

I mean, A&M just gave 57 points to some small louisiana school and barely escaped with a victory..i mean really

Another point was that South Carolina isn't good because they struggled with vandy the first game of the year and Georgia isn't good either

10 points bro. 0 in the 2nd half. Marching between the 20s is easy when you're down by 40.

Interesting. I actually think A&M has a pretty good run defense. It is our secondary that is the problem. Does LSU have enough passing attack to take advantage of our secondary... don't think so.

Ags defense will wear down if Ags offense doesn't move the ball. Too many 3 and outs and the LSU offense will move the ball on the ground.

Ags offense will dictate how well our defense performs. Florida game in second half is perfect example. D was on the field most of the half and FL took advantage.

Put LA Tech in front of a real defense and they would not be considered a good offense. Its amazing how a teams schedule skew stats so badly

you can't tell these guys anything. They dont understand that they are not facing great offenses. the offenses they face look great because they're playing against defenses like A&M's. They'll understand saturday

You guys have short memories. Prior to the tech game, a&m was #2 in the sec in scoring defense behind only Alabama giving up 14 per game I think. All of a sudden we are the worst defense in te Country because we umped into the top offense in the nation. Keep thinking that.

Held Florida to 20, Arkansas to 10 and OleMiss to 27 for a total of 57 points. Average 19 points per game. La tech scored 57 points all by themselves. I am thrilled to be playing am Sec team again. We seem to play better defense against sec teams.
