Challenges for Texas A&M
This has been a shockingly rough season for the Aggies, a team that many expected to contend for the national title. To stop LSU you have to stifle their outstanding quarterback, Jayden Daniels. Daniels is one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the nation. Daniels, a transfer from Arizona State, has completed almost 70 percent of his passes so far. He’s had 217 completions in 312 attempts for 2,377 yards, 15 touchdowns, and two interceptions. He’s also run for 740 yards and 11 touchdowns. A win for Texas A&M would at least end the season on a high after a season that fell apart following a loss to Appalachian State.
Saturday‘s game kicks off at 6:00 PM CT (7:00 PM ET). Watch this SEC football game on the ESPN Network.
