Both LSU and Texas A&M are struggling to close out the season and it may be the last chance for Ed Orgeron and Kevin Sumlin to ensure they have jobs with their respective teams next season. LSU dominated Texas A&M during Les Miles' tenure, as the Tigers are 5-0 SU and ATS in their past five against the Aggies.
- Texas A&M is 0-7 ATS in its last 7 games.
- LSU is 36-4 SU in its last 40 games after a loss.
- The total has gone UNDER in 9 of LSU's last 10 games within the SEC.
Despite outplaying Florida in many facets in their last game, the Tigers’ sloppiness came back to haunt them in a 16-10 loss. LSU only scored on two of five trips to the red zone and fumbled three times against Florida in a game it should have won. Leonard Fournette’s health will be at the forefront, as the stud running back played last week but was limited due to injuries. Fournette accounted for 202 yards and a touchdown against Florida last season.
Texas A&M is just 2-3 SU in its past five, with the two victories coming against New Mexico State and Texas-San Antonio. The Aggies offense has not been on the same level since Trevor Knight was injured at quarterback, as the team has averaged just 385 yards per game without Knight compared with 498.8 yards with him in the lineup.
