re: Is A&M actually ready for big boy SEC football?

A lot has changed since the Florida game. At the time, JFF just looked at his first read then took off. It is a different QB right now that has learnt to stay in the pocked and go through his progressions. He'll still run if nothing is open, but I don't expect miracles doing so vs the LSU front. So yes, 2nd half adjustments shut him off vs Florida, but JFF has now much more experience. And I think it will be the key to the game; if JFF can make the throws on 1st and 2nd down and stay in the pocket, it could open up some run game. Remember the A&M's OL is one of the best in the nation.

A&M's defense is still suspicious, yet it had some success against the run. Is that enough to limit LSU to less than 20 points ? The key here lays on third downs and long. Can LSU pass when it will need to ?

I sincerely don't know who will win, it is probably 60-40 LSU right now. But these are much better odds for A&M than I anticipated at the beginning of the season. Will be a great game to watch anyways, love the SEC!
