Some Thoughts On The Aggie/Tiger Tilt

Kevin Sumlin is blessed it seems. His first year in College Station and he has this Manziel kid behind center and has built a respectable season with the only loss coming from a Gator team in the opener. Sound familiar? Sumlin comes from Houston where he was known for quick strike offense and good QB play. He does however, just like his previous Houston teams, have a defense that is suspect. Beyond suspect. Last week they let a LA. Tech squad come storming back and nearly taking the W from them. Of course that may have little to do with Sumlin. The Aggies have been cursed in the recent past in second half play. It might be supernatural.........

For all the talk from the pundits about the Aggie problems in the second half; the historical won/loss record between the schools; which team plays better in the mornings; etc. etc....It will all come down to who can keep the other team offense on the bench. Nothing profound there.

If the Aggies can move the ball they will win. The LSU offense may not be able to match scores. What LSU does have however is a decent defense. Might even be considered stellar by some. If they limit the quick strike capability of the Aggies, well, it will be a long day in College Station for the  faithful. In the Aggies only loss they faced a tough defensive opponent with a bruising but rather sluggish offense, so they have seen a Tiger before in Gator uniform. They came up just short in that contest I might point out.

There are those in the Tiger camp who say that the road to the "National Championship" goes through Baton Rouge. That is a bit of a stretch frankly, maybe even ridiculous, but there is still a lot of football left to play. Who knows? The flip side of that record is that there are Aggie honks who are saying that they have already beaten the best team from Louisiana and will have little trouble with this group of Coon Asses. They may or may not have a valid point there.........

We will see shortly.

 One thing I do know certain; an Aggie victory will unleash braying that will last for days (if not longer). Nothing and I mean nothing is more nauseating than Aggie honkage.
