A&M just plays LSU tough. I predict three games decided by 1 run, as it was last year in The Park That Blue Bell Built.

Aggies are at or near the top in every defensive and offensive category. LSU's statistical edge is more on the offensive side, but is top 5 in every major defensive stat.

A big difference is that A&M hasn't shown an ability to steal bases. In low scoring affairs, manufacturing your own runs becomes very important. I think LSU sweeps based on their ability to swipe bases.

By defesnive do you mean piching? If you mean fielding then hell no we are not near the top. If we played more stellar defense, we'd be 39-1.

A&M's O is going to have to carry the team. We're 5th in home runs, 3rd in OBP, and 7th in SLUG. I would assume we're one of the top teams in OPS. That is the biggest reason we don't steal bases like we used to. Well that and the fact we inserted a few big slow sluggers in the line up. We do hit and run quite often.
