3 things will determine the outcome:

1. Is Manziel healthy--his hand that he injured late in the MSU game was bothering him a lot more than they let on pre-game. I think this is part of the reason that he was so inaccurate.

2. What will the weather be like--specifically, will it be wet and windy, or will Jonny just have to battle the cold. This is the other thing that was physically causing him to be inaccurate.

3. Will Johnny make better decisions--he checked out of way too many running plays, and has been going for the home run ball way too much. Will the results from last week be enough to get the message through that he's got to run the offense, and not merely be a gunslinger (particularly when he's a less than healthy gunslinger in a poor passing environment).

Honestly, the A&M defense slowed up LSU's offense enough that a typical offensive output by Manziel would likely have won the game, but we aren't going to shut anyone down for long, especially if the offense isn't doing it's part.


You people are fricking insane. two games. 1 TD - 5 Picks. We blow your arse out and sit on the lead and you infer your D 'kept you in it' if it wasn't cold and wet.

Again - fricking insane.

You've evidently not watched a single A&M game all year. Everyone scores on us. 34 points is not impressive against our very pedestrian defense. Frankly, I was expecting LSU to score 40 or more, but they didn't have to because of the craptastic display from our offense.

I'll credit the LSU defensive scheme with getting Johnny to make bad decisions in constantly trying to throw the deep ball, or checking out of running plays. Chavis couldn't have asked for a better response from Johnny based on what he was showing. But, even when Johnny wasn't making bad decisions, and wasn't under the gun, his throws were wildly inaccurate by his standards.

But, what do you want me to say?--because you blew us out, you're better than Bama and Auburn? You're not. Or is it a rule somewhere in Louisiana that, when your team gets beat, you have to suck up to the egos of the fans of the team that won, and avoid any realistic analysis of the causes?
