Can't argue much with your analysis. The only variable that isn't really reflected in these stats is that this is a new offensive scheme and a new freshman QB that is running it. Improvements on offense are being made each week.

Ags defense is good against the run. Not great, but pretty good. Tackling issues and penalties are also problems.

If Tigers defense can shut the Ags down then we have a problem. Don't have the depth on the defensive line of scrimmage for 3 and outs.

We shall see. I like our chances better now than I did before the season started. If the Ags offense gets on a roll at home... well, you never know.

itll be a real test for how far yalls offense has come since florida, for lsu to win they must come out quick and shut down the aggie offense early. we cant afford to let JF get any momentum. but im sure the chief will have his defense ready for the task at hand.

No matter how much you look at the stats, the key to who wins comes down to the A&M offense vs LSU defense. Both are highly ranked in their respective categories in the nation, so whoever comes out on top of that battle wins. A&M defense vs LSU offense will probably be a wash in all honesty. The DLine can make plays to stop the running game and LSU's passing attack isn't exactly lighting it up out there while the A&M secondary has plenty of room for improvement.

One encouraging stat for Aggies fans:
LSU opponent's red zone scoring: 100% (#118 in the country, tied for last place)
A&M's offensive red zone scoring: 89% (#23)

If LSU has 2 turnover while we eliminate keep the ball under control and reduce stupid penalties, I think A&M has valid reasons to believe this game can be won (especially at Kyle Field).
