Winning that Sugar Bowl has done wonders for Texas. Is it their springboard to getting back to winning ten games per year? Probably so.

They do play in the BDF. Automatic 5-6 wins before season begins.
if the LSU coaching staff is smart, they'll target tu's weakness - LB corps. i predict joe burrow is going to run for more yardage than sam ehlinger will.Tamu_mgm said:
I want LSU to beat them and beat them badly, but do not take t.u. lightly in this situation; they have a couple of factors that benefit them a lot in this game.
- First off, the sips are playing at home. This will help their defense, and although we've heard reports about LSU's "new" offense being like the 2nd coming of Drew Brees & co., I am very hesitant to see much change under Coach O on that side of the ball. I expect to mostly see more of the same ground and pound style. This is easier to defend when you have the athletes to do so, and t.u. has good athletes to play against that style for one game out of the year - see how they did so to UGA in the bowl game when they had all that time off between (and I know UGA wanting no part of that game for being rejected by the playoff committee played a part in that too).
- Secondly, one thing Herman does well is prepare effectively when he's got a lot of time to prepare (season openers / early season games, bowl games). Let's be real - if a team has a cupcake for game 1, and a big time opponent for game 2, the coaches are spending a good portion of fall camp and game prep on opponent #2. This reason alone leads me to believe this game will be much closer than most anticipate. A lot of people are mistakenly picking LSU to just blow out t.u. because SEC! That is ignoring the circumstances of this game and the matchup. I can very easily see LSU losing this game, and the whole national media jumping on the sip bandwagon right off the gate about how they're "back"....again.

For most teams yes but look at how they have performed against those teams recently.

Brecklyn was a early round draft pick a couple weeks ago.

A&M and anyone who plays tu! In that order!
I find no sincerity in this approach. I can reason with myself all I want about which outcome benefits A&M the most. But once the game gets going all that is thrown out the window.schmellba99 said:I hate this mentality.mccag said:

A&M and whomever benefits A&M the most. In this case, the swamp tiggers winning benefits us the most as we will play them head to head, and we recruit head to head against both of them in some fashion.
Whatever benefits A&M the most is what you should focus on.
