Coming into the 2018 season, some speculated Texas A&M football would be able to finally beat LSU — they have yet to since joining the SEC, and haven’t since 1995 — mostly because LSU was not supposed to be as good this season. A 9-2 record, No. 7 ranking in the college football playoff, and four wins against Top 10 teams (when they played) later, and it’s still looking like a tall order.
However, things are different this year. Where LSU has rushed for 200+ yards in all six SEC matchups, Texas A&M finally has a rush defense this season.
