A big question this weekend is what tiger team shows up at 11:00 a.m. at Kyle Field on Saturday.  LSU’s two prior SEC road performances don’t seem to give much feeling of road success.  However, the offensive line and offensive success last week does.  The defense on the other hand has been dominant throughout the entire season but have not seen a team with the offensive capability of Texas A&M especially a quarterback as dominant as Johnny Manziel.  LSU did face a similiar quarterback last week in Connor Shaw.  The aggies may have more speed at wide receiver than the gamecocks at the wide receiver position but do not have a running back near the quality of Marcus Lattimore.

I look for continued success this week with the play of Zach Mettenberger, his receivers, and the offensive line especially since the aggies are certainly not a highly rated defensive team.  Look for running back Michael Ford to play more this week since LSU may be looking for someone with speed who can get around the corners to take advantage of the aggie linebackers.  The Texas A&M offense will score but the difference could come with the offenses ability to stay out of 3 and outs and the defenses ability to force the aggies to kick field goals instead of score touchdowns.
