No. 3 Texas A&M<\/a> (7-0, 4-0 SEC) will head to Baton Rouge on Friday before facing No. 20 LSU<\/a> (5-2, 2-2 SEC) on Saturday night, as the Aggies are looking to knock off the Tigers in Death Valley for the first time since 1994. LSU head coach Brian Kelly<\/a> is under fire after the Tigers’ underwhelming 5-2 start, losing to Ole Miss<\/a> and Vanderbilt on the road.<\/p>\n

While LSU has been utterly dominant<\/a> in Tiger Stadium, Texas A&M’s offense, which averages over 36 points per game, has yet to be stopped by any defense the program has faced, racking up over 400 yards against Auburn<\/a>, Florida, and Mississippi State. At the same time, last Saturday’s 45-42 road win over Arkansas further proved that the Aggies are nearly impossible to contain through the air and on the ground.<\/p>\n

However, LSU is desperate to get back into the win column, and, coupled with potentially inclement weather, this could be a low-scoring contest dictated by field goals and running the ball efficiently \u2014an area the Aggies still hold an advantage in, having rushed for over 200 yards in back-to-back games.<\/p>\n

Still, Texas A&M’s pass rush vs. LSU’s shaky offensive line, especially senior edge Cashius Howell matching up with LSU backup left tackle DJ Chester<\/a>, could determine the outcome if the Aggies get to quarterback Garrett Nussmeier early and often.<\/p>\n

Last week, the Aggies went with the all-white look against Arkansas and are now 2-0 on the year while wearing it. Still, to avoid a color clash, Texas A&M revealed on Thursday it will go with the all-maroon look on Saturday night, while LSU is expected to wear its regular gold helmet, white jersey, and gold pants.<\/p>\n
