I'll say it right now. Texas A&M is more of a threat to Alabama than LSU is. I think A&M next week is more of a threat to Alabama than LSU is even though it's in Tuscaloosa. The reason why I say that is because of Johnny Manziel and because of the style of offense A&M runs. LSU is going to line up in an I formation and average 0.3 yards per carry against Alabama. The only chance you have against Alabama's size is to spread them from sideline to sideline and try to make plays in coverage against them and when things break down, when you have an athletic, mobile QB, that gives you a fighting chance. If you don't have that and Zach Mettenberger runs a 6.3, he's not going to do anything back there. He's Bernie Kosar. He's not going to be able to make things happen with his feet and because of that, LSU's only chance is they got to win with defense and creating turnovers. A&M can hold up defensively and they can give you some problems with their offense. I think A&M beats Mississippi State and that'll set up a big showdown next week in Tuscaloosa that not a lot of people nationally are even thinking about but A&M by the end of the day could give Alabama their biggest test that they'll face all year until maybe they get to Atlanta in the SEC Championship Game.
Herbstreit's comments start at around the 7:30 mark here. LINK

Yep, that aTm offense will never be figured out by a team like Bama.

When will Herbstreit learn that this scenario wins football games much more often than a freshman QB running in circles 15 yards in the backfield? That "only" chance for LSU is infinitely more reliable than a mobile QB.

Think he is just saying that LSU Plays right into Alabamas hands. A&M is at least a curveball that could create some matchup problems.

I would agree if LSU didn't have bye week and home field advantage.
Bama get AM at home, but could be banged up a bit.

I don't agree...A&M will get a beatdown of similar fashion as State, and their loss to State will only confirm that.

What took him so long? I've been saying this for the last three weeks.

A&M fans still think they have a better team than LSU.

The more this crap keeps getting spewed around, the more Bama is getting set up for a huge fall. Last week I didn't think LSU had much of a chance, but after all this nonsense they are going to be so fired up that I think they will take it to Bama big time. LSU is going to win this game.
