Why LSU will win against the Aggies
The Texas A&M offense is easy to shutdown as it is one dimensional with their run game being their best feature. Given how LSU's defensive line and linebackers have played, LSU has the group that can slow the rushing attack and force A&M into passing situations. The LSU Tigers are the best offense the Aggies have faced and this game will be a game that puts Garrett Nussmeier into the Heisman conversation.
