Comments

This is probably the top game for this week. The LSU-Texas game is also a big one. A&M should have won the game last season in College Station. I think Clemson will put up a lot of points because they have eight starters back from 2018 on offense. A&M only has four starters back on defense. Last week the Aggies looked pretty good in the win over Texas State but Clemson is a different animal and “Deaf Valley” is a tough place for anyone to play. Not saying it a sure thing. A&M could pull off a surprise but it’s more likely that Clemson will, especially playing at home.
