COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Jamal Adams emerged from the visitors locker room carrying his Thanksgiving dinner—a chicken sandwich in a box—his LSU backpack, and the sense of pride that comes with laying waste to the home team on Thanksgiving. The junior safety made his presence felt on the very first drive against Texas A&M, with a third-down sack of Trevor Knight en route to a 54-39 victory. It was a play reminiscent of former LSU safety Tyrann Mathieu, whose exploits in coverage and as a blitzer and tackler earned him the Chuck Bednarik Award as the nation’s best defensive player in 2011.
