re: Reasons why A&M will beat LSU in 2016

Chavis' system will always struggle with a power run team. Spread type offenses are no problem, but a run right at you offense? Good luck, Aggies.

We have a winner. Chavis and most Texas teams (its like seeing the triple option for everyone else in Texas) have a problem with a power run team. LSU is a power run team.

Arkansas is built around stopping a power run team, hence why we've given LSU fits the last three years.

LSU beats A&M, A&M beats Arkansas, Arkansas beats LSU. We all lose to a Bama defense that plays fairly well against everyone.

The first of those teams to play well against everyone (probably LSU for sheer horde of talent they have) competes with, and possibly wins, the West.

With decent QB play I think LSU is closest to getting there with the hiring of Aranda, who has shown some ability to stop both power run and spread teams. The question is can he make the jump to the SEC level and does LSU get better production from their passing attack?
