00:00I'm looking at Garrett Nussmeier, 235 and a half.

00:03You want the governor to take it off.

00:04It's raining.

00:05Does that mean Duncan?

00:06It's raining.

00:06What, he can't throw in the rain?

00:07It's over?

00:08You tell me it's going to be a wet track.

00:09Sounds like a crypt.

00:10Okay, so you're telling me Nussmeier can't throw.

00:12No, he can't.

00:13He should be smashing in and out.

00:13No, it's human.

00:14Who's your pick tonight?

00:15Who wins the game?

00:16I'm picking LSU because.

00:18Well, it's raining and Nussmeier can't throw you like LSU.

00:20No, because again, that defense, Whit Weeks is out.

00:24That defense needs to make a statement.

00:27I'll give them one more shot.

00:28They had an opportunity against Diego Pavia, and they were absolutely gutless in that effort.

00:33Third down defense was atrocious.

00:35Blake Baker needs to be called out as well because mobile quarterbacks abused this unit

00:39for the past couple of years.

00:41You need to change it up.

00:43You need to get outside your comfort zone.

00:45Harold Perkins, I'm still waiting.

00:47You were supposed to be a Heisman contender.

00:49Step up.

00:50Make a play.

00:51I think they do that, Donnie, but it's not going to be easy because Marcel Reed and that

00:56offense could put up points.

00:57I just like the offense better on A&M tonight.

00:58I know it's a tough place to play.

01:00It really is, but it just shows you the simple fact that LSU is not a favorite in this game.

01:04That's something that catches you off guard, and we'll see where that line goes by game

01:06time.

01:07You creeped a three, Joe.

01:08That could get real interesting.

01:09I don't think it gets there, though.

01:10We're looking at multiple books.

01:12They're putting out the sides and the handle.

01:15I mean, you can't get more conflicting information.

01:19You know, you got 95% of the tickets on BetMGM on LSU.

01:24You know, it's crazy.

01:26It's unbelievable.

01:27I'll just say this as it relates to third downs.

01:30LSU needs to convert on third downs.

01:33They're converting 42%.

01:35They're going up against the number one ranked third down defense in all of college football,

01:39holding opposing offenses to 22% on third down situations.

01:44Six of 43 over the last four games of the regular season in the conference for the Aggies.

01:51That's 13%.

01:52That's one of every 10 third down conversions they're holding opposing offenses to.

01:58LSU needs a better effort.

02:00Get out of your comfort zone, Joe Sloan, and call some plays today.

02:04By the way, looking at some of the prop bets here for the wide receivers, Joe, I'm seeing

02:06LSU Thomas, LSU Green, LSU Brown, 30 and a half, 47 and a half, and 36 and a half.

02:11Your boy's not even listed in there.

02:12Why?

02:13Well, Aaron Anderson came back from injury last week.

02:17He's been a little bit limited.

02:18But again, he's a two to one number for any time touchdown.

02:21If this offense is going to eat today, they need to get those playmakers involved.

02:26I don't like Xavion Thomas as much.

02:28He's a speedster.

02:29I would go to potentially Barry on Brown and trade Des Green, the tight end that they utilized

02:34multiple times in back-to-back weeks.

02:36But Aaron Anderson, potentially a two to one, I think has great value for an any time touchdown.

02:42How about the wideouts, Joe, for A&M here?

02:44You got Concepcion and Craver, 54 and a half for Concepcion, 62 and a half for Craver.

02:48I like that offense.

02:49Somebody's going to have to eat.

02:50Which wide receiver on A&M eats?

02:52Concepcion.

02:53He's utilized multiple looks.

02:55Not only that, reverses.

02:56And if it is going to be a wet track, they could give him some fly sweeps in this ballgame.

03:01He could still potentially score for an any time touchdown.

03:04But again, it's going to come down to two, Donnie.

03:07Early on, if Marcel Reed can run with a wet track, he might not have to throw in this game.

03:13That's why I would still lean to Concepcion.

03:16He's utilized a little bit more.

03:17But if Marcel Reed could get some real estate with his legs, it could be lights out.

03:21No.
