Texas A&M vs. LSU: Key matchups

A&M QB Johnny Manziel vs. LSU DC John Chavis
Manziel carved up LSU throughout most of the first half in last year's contest, but LSU defensive coordinator John Chavis made the necessary halftime adjustments and the Heisman Trophy winner subsequently struggled through his worst half of his otherwise flawless freshman season.

Fastforward to this year, and it’s clear that Johnny is a much better passer and quarterback than he was when the Aggies met the Bayou Bengals at Kyle Field last October.
