Texas A&M football: 5 bold predictions for LSU
By Jeff Shull
LSU has 50 yards rushing
If you’ve paid attention to the Aggies this season, you would know their rush defense has been one of the best in the country, and it’s not because of an easy schedule. The Aggies have faced Clemson (No. 14 rushing offense), Mississippi State (No. 17), UAB (No. 23), Alabama (No. 25), and Kentucky (No. 45). They have allowed a combined 548 yards on 158 rushing attempts in these games, or 3.46 yards per carry.
Against the best five rushing attacks they have faced, they’ve only allowed one to go over 4.0 yards per carry, Mississippi State, and that included a 76-yard touchdown run very late in the game.
The front seven for the Aggies has been one of the best units in the country. Thankfully, they’ve stayed relatively healthy all year. Elko lost Anthony Hines III early on, but other than that the starting unit has been mostly in tact.
Daylon Mack, Kingsley Keke and Justin Madubuike have wrecked havoc all year, and I expect them to do the same to an offensive line that can be dominated.
