I say no. I don't know the difference in sacks but you know A&M has a game up and played an inferior team.

aTm is averaging 4.25 sacks a game. Lsu is averaging 3.0

They are better at the DE pos, getting to the QB. But as far as overall, hard to say they're definitely not as good in run D as LSU.

aTM has just 2 sacks vs the SEC from the Ark game. LSU averages 3. aTm has a higher average just based off that ASU game. If LSU had their warmup game they would be averaging 5 per game

When you consider Arkansas has only given up 2 sacks this year, I don't know if I like your stat

They don't throw the ball, so the QB doesn't have many chances to get sacked.

Brandon Allen is 4th in the sec in passing attempts. He's thrown it 117 times and been sacked 2 times

They had 8 sacks in one game. They have 17 on the year.

Obviously their DE's are elite, but their DT's look a little soft and they've got major issues at LB. It seems like we should pay attention to our ability to run it in between the tackles. If we can have 75-100 yds in the middle, I think that will work out in our favor.

Still 9 in the other 3 games is good.

We've been very good in pass protection since we struggled the 1st half vs lsu. I think we'll do a decent job in pass protection

We have to attempt to run the ball at least somewhat. We are fifth in the sec in yards per carry, surprisingly, but dead last in rushing attempts. We run for over 120 tomorrow and we should have a good shot.
