I think we are 8-1 when Bama comes to Starkville. However, I believe that A&M will be a tough matchup for us. I'd feel much better about that game if we could run the ball and keep A&M's offense off the field. I was pretty confident about the Auburn game but I see this one as a toss up.

aTm is not a special team, so it should be a good game. It will be a good barometer game for us.

I think we'll pass for whatever we want to, but we really need to try to find a running game. Mix in Dak and the other RBs (minus Bob Marley) and try to impose our will against a defense that isn't very good.

I think our defense will bend but not break for the most part. They will give up yardage totals that will make me want to vomit, but will probably hang tough as far as the scoreboard goes.

Shamelessly, I will add that I live 2.5 hours away from aTm if anybody has an extra ticket or two they need to get to of and will be passing through DFW on the way!!

My worry with the A&M game is our safeties. A&M is a good passing team and has the potential to make us look silly over the middle. I think it'll be a close high scoring game. If there is ever a game to run Dak 15 or more times, it's next Saturday. I just want A&M's offense off the field.

Manny tends to play a cover 2 leaving a soft underside. IMO the key to his defense is holding in the red zone. He tends to be willing to sacrifice the short throws. (Guess the meaning of bend don't break).

I think that is probably the best strategy for us against A&M.

We have to run the ball and slow the game down. If we let them have the ball as much as Auburn did we might be in trouble. Dak has been great passing and our defense has been hanging tough so we can hang with anyone right now.

If Fournette gets hurt then LSU absolutely drop 2 games. Their offense runs through him.
