KEY GAME INFORMATION
TEXAS A&M: The Aggies had no trouble transitioning to the SEC with coach Kevin Sumlin guiding them to 11 wins. Heisman Trophy winner QB Johnny Manziel (3,706 pass yds, 26 TD, 9 INT; 1,410 rush yds, 21 TD) led his offense to 559 YPG (3rd in FBS) and 44.5 PPG (4th in nation). He'll frequently target athletic 6-foot-5 WR Mike Evans (1,105 rec. yds, 5 TD). The ground game is loaded with RBs Ben Malena (808 rush yds, 8 TD) and Trey Williams (376 rush yds, 5 TD) rumbling behind a powerful O-Line. The defense (21.8 PPG, 26th in FBS) lost a lot up front, but DE Julian Obioha (6 PD, 4 QBH) has bust-out potential, and LB Steven Jenkins (79 tackles) is productive. Texas A&M surrendered 251 pass YPG (88th in FBS), but CB Deshazor Everett (56 tackles, 7 PD) and S Howard Matthews (58 tackles, 6 PD) have the ability to change that.
LSU: LSU was 10-3 despite ranking 87th in the nation in total offense (374 YPG). QB Zach Mettenberger (2,609 pass yds, 12 TD, 7 INT) is back to change that and is excited that Cam Cameron is his new OC, which should mean more pass attempts. WRs Odell Beckham Jr. (713 rec. yds, 2 TD) and Jarvis Landry (573 rec. yds, 5 TD) both need to be more consistent for Mettenberger to grow. Top RB Jeremy Hill (755 rush yds, 12 TD) was arrested for a bar fight in April, and his status is uncertain. Back-up RB Kenny Hilliard (464 rush yds, 6 TD) has a strong offensive line to work with. The fierce defense (308 YPG, 8th in FBS) lost all D-Line starters, but is still loaded. DT Anthony Johnson (3 sacks), LB Lamin Barrow (104 tackles, 5 QBH), CB Jalen Mills (57 tackles, 2 INT) and SS Craig Loston (55 tackles, 3 INT) are all productive returnees.
PREVIEW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PA SPORTSTICKER COLLEGE FOOTBALL PREVIEW (TEXAS A&M-LSU) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Texas A&M-LSU Preview* =======================

No. 12 Texas A&M (8-2) at No. 22 LSU (7-3), 3:30 p.m. EDT

(AP) - If Les Miles is worried about how his embattled defense will hold up against Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M's relentless, up-tempo offense, he isn't showing it.

The ninth-ranked Aggies' visit to Death Valley on Saturday will feature two of the top quarterbacks in the Southeastern Conference, as well as some of college football's best receivers and running backs - seemingly all the needed ingredients of a high-scoring affair.

LSU's coach, however, said he is "not looking forward to that style of game."

"I want the defense to stop them," Miles said. "Certainly we recognize the challenge that an offense like A&M will bring. ... I like my defense. I suspect they'll play best in this game. I think they'll be a challenge to A&M and I think being in Tiger Stadium will be a challenge to A&M. It's a much different environment and a place where the home team generally does pretty good."

No. 18 LSU (7-3, 3-3) has opened as a four-point favorite and has been good at home, winning all five contests this season.

Yet its defense has been inconsistent and shaky at times. In LSU's last game - a 38-17 loss at Alabama two weekends ago - the Tigers' defense looked strong in the first half before wilting in the second, when the No. 1 Crimson Tide put together three unanswered touchdown drives, turning a tense 17-all tie into a laugher.

Now LSU must contend with Manziel, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, whose talent, according to Miles, is unsurpassed in college football.

Manziel has accounted for 300-plus total yards in 19 straight starts. He racked up 500 total yards against an Alabama defense that leads the SEC with 272.8 yards allowed per game.

Texas A&M's 578 yards per game and scoring average of 49.2 easily lead the SEC. Auburn ranks second with 499.9 yards per game and Missouri is second in scoring with 41.3 points per game.

"It's a great challenge," Miles said. "It'll be a great matchup. I think our defense is really looking forward to it. These Tigers look forward to a challenge and this is really going to be one. I think our guys will play well. I think we have a nice scheme and a variety of ways to pressure, disguise coverage, get in the backfield."

Miles said his defense will need to be good at getting off the field on third down to avoid wearing down against A&M's up-tempo offense. The coach added that LSU plans to rotate at least two players at every defensive position, and as many as three players at some spots, to stay fresh.

LSU cornerback Jalen Mills said the Tigers defense is bracing for a test of stamina.

"It is a day game. It's going to be hot. If somebody catches a cramp or somebody may be gassed and may need to sit out for a play or two, we do have the depth for it," Mills said. "Your name could be called at any time during that game, so you have to be ready. No sitting on the sidelines."

LSU, which had a bye last week, also has been using explosive receiver and kick returner Odell Beckham Jr. as the scout team quarterback, whose job is to mimic the opposing team's starter in practice against the first-team defense.

"It was fun pretending to be Johnny this week and running around, just trying to make plays, trying to give my defense the best look possible," said Beckham, who played some quarterback out of the "wildcat" formation in high school.

LSU is also hoping to control the football, which will put a premium on its ability to run as much as it may like the passing chemistry quarterback Zach Mettenberger has had with top receivers Beckham and Jarvis Landry.

"We know what kind of offense they have over there and the recipe for success against those guys is running the football successfully," LSU running back Jeremy Hill said, noting that LSU's ability to run was a key factor in the Tigers' triumph at Texas A&M last season.

"We want to get 35 minutes or more in time of possession, just keeping (Manziel) off the field as much as possible and helping our defense, keeping those guys fresh," Hill said. "In the Alabama game, they were out there for a lot of plays and we were on the sideline for most of the second half and that hurt our defense. ... They got tired out there."

A&M (8-2, 4-2) has scored more than 50 points in winning its past three games, and another big offensive showing could result in its first victory in three meetings with LSU since moving to the SEC. Neither of the past two, though, was played at Baton Rouge.

"I want nothing more than to win these next two games and to get into a good bowl game and go 10-2 in another regular season," Manziel said. "I can't even put into words how bad I want that for seniors on this team and for this team in general."
