"Moving the chains on the ground keeps LSUs potent off the field."
Not really. Scoring more points per possession than the other guy is all that matters. Statistically we moved the chains better than UGA did. But we didn't score more points per possession.
We had more yards. More first downs. More TOP. Fewer points per possession.
So therefore, we lost.
Moving the chains and not scoring to keep their O off the field is just a method of keeping from being blown out when you are outgunned.

The line is -17 points. So we already know which offense is more potent. The pressure is on the offense to keep up and on the defense to limit quick/long touchdowns.
I’m sure the offense will take more chances and throw downfield more this game because we are facing a more electric offense than we did vs UGA. Mond has to play better.
But many think UGA has the best run defense in the conference, and A&M could have better success on the ground this game compared to last. LSU will dominate if they know A&M is throwing it every play.
If the A&M defense is playing well and the Ags can drain the clock to limit LSUs chances, they will. I’d be happy with 100 -150 yards rushing, including 50 yards of Mond scrambling.
