aTm -8

[Bothrops]

I like our chances against TAMU and Auburn.

However, we have to play clean football and not do anything stupid.

I think we get at least 1 win out of those games.

We have no chance at Auburn

[parabrave]

LSU -4 (auburn)
Florida -8 (Kentucky)
Georgia -18 (ark)
Bama -17.5 (OM)

Taking Aubbie, Fla Arky and OM, We score 1 TD to get to lose by 1 and get 95 garbage yds, Shotgun claims a Phyrric victory.

[confucius say]

Agree. They run the ball better than LSU but they're offense sucks. LSU is more explosive on offense at WR though.

It should be a really tight game.

If you're Arnett, do you go more bend but don't break vs A&M? Why risk giving up big plays to them?

I don't think bend but don't break is in his dna. Or vacabulary, lol

[HancockCountyDog]

What is extremely frustrating is that A&M, LSU, AU, Kentucky and bears all have glaring issues and can be beaten. We gave one away against LSU.

I think Upig is solid, Bama is Bama, and Vandy is awful.

Our defense gives us a chance in every game, our offense just needs to be slightly above average.

The opposite. Sell out for the run and put pressure on them.

We need to stop turning the ball over and ban Marc Curles from officiating MSU games.

Vandy can make us sweat if they could score on an MSU mishap. We can lose to just about anyone because of the propensity to grind the offense to a halt for long periods. That's why I think we need an SEC caliber qb to limit and shorten those episodes when they come. I'm not a Rogers hater, it's just the way I see it.

[Coach34]

our line already up to 9.5

[confucius say]

Where are you seeing 9.5?
Everything line I see in Vegasinsider.com has it at 7 or 7.5.

[ShotgunDawg]

our line already up to 9.5

Nah

[Coach34]

Interesting. It was 9.5 about 8am

[HancockCountyDog]

I think its a great matchup for us. We can stop the run - I'm not sure A&M can do much else. Even if we just get FG's - I think we can move the ball and maybe one of our Wr's can make a play.

[confucius say]

Our WR play outside of 85 was atrocious Saturday. Maybe they can bounce back and make plays this week.

Hmmm have you seen our FG kicking lately.

Ruiz is expected back

Totally disagree.

[Captain Falcon]

My take on A&M is that if they were competent at QB they would be a Top 5 team, but that position is really holding them back right now. You 100% focus on shutting down the run and make Calzada beat you. Arkansas did a great job of that, I expect Arnett to try a similar approach.

If we do less of the "shoot ourselves in the foot" kind of things then we probably have a legit chance to win this game. I don't know that you can bank on us playing a clean game though, especially on the road in what should be a good SEC atmosphere, so my guess is we probably lose another close game. But a win for us is not off the table if we play well and catch some breaks.

[Maverick91]

We can win this game just as easily as they can. I think both teams are suspect in many areas. I honestly think this game comes down to who has the least amount of mistakes. I think we can move the ball on them, I think our run D matches well with their run O and I don't think their passing O is as good as LSU. Take it for what you want. A clean game, I think we win.

[Hambone]

You do realize they SHOULD have lost to Ga State Saturday right?

Not Georgia, Georgia State. And had it not been for an over turned incomplete pass (Auburn never caught that ball) they would have lost.

Yea, we gotta chance
