GAME BREAKDOWN
KEY MATCHUP: LSU’s offensive line against Texas A&M’s defensive line. The defensive front is the strength of the Aggies defense, which allows just 80 yards rushing on average and can get to the passer. The Tigers line has been in an almost constant state of flux because of injuries but is relatively healthy of late and will have to play well if the Tigers are going to win this game.
DRAFT SLANT
–LB Devin White is considered a possible NFL first round draft pick if he turns pro next spring. He was on several preseason all-American lists and his play this season hasn’t disappointed. He has been named a finalist for the Butkus Award (best linebacker).
ROSTER REPORT
–CB Kristian Fulton (undisclosed) is out indefinitely.
–DL Breiden Fehoko (elbow) will miss the rest of the season.
–G Ed Ingram, who would have started on the right side, is suspended indefinitely.
–LB Tyler Taylor, a backup, is suspended indefinitely.
–LB K’Lavon Chaisson (knee) is out for the season.
–TE Jamal Pettigrew, who would have been a backup, is out for the season because of a knee injury.
