But with two more games left before the regular season ends, he can add to his legacy as an Aggie if he can will his team to wins over ranked teams LSU and Missouri.\u00a0[sc:NCAA240banner ]<\/p>\n<p>Despite being virtually out of the BCS title race, Texas A&amp;M can\u2019t say their motivation to beat LSU has dwindled. The Aggies have every reason to go hard against the Tigers, the biggest of which being revenge. Last season, LSU\u2019s defense smothered Manziel, who threw three interceptions in a 24-19 loss.<\/p>\n<p>Since losing to Auburn back in October, the Aggies have strung together three straight wins \u2013 all against non-top 25 teams. Picking on lesser teams ends here for the Aggies as Les Miles\u2019 boys are ranked No. 21 and Missouri is currently No. 9.<\/p>\n<p>Against Mississippi State last week, Manziel threw five touchdowns, which drowned the three picks he threw. Manziel now has 31 touchdown passes, which is good for third in FBS. Texas A&amp;M is 6<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0in passing yards with 379.2 per game and they often translate into points as evidenced by the Aggies 49.2 points per game \u2013 5<sup>th<\/sup> best in FBS.<\/p>\n<p>The Aggies aim to finish the season undefeated on the road. They are 2-0 SU away from home this season but are 10-0 SU in their last 10 road games overall.<b>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Bet now on the <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/college-football\/ncaa\">Texas A&amp;M Aggies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the LSU Tigers:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Zach-Mettenberger-LSU-Tigers-NCAA-Football-College-Football.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10764\" alt=\"Zach Mettenberger, LSU Tigers, NCAA Football, College Football\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Zach-Mettenberger-LSU-Tigers-NCAA-Football-College-Football.jpg\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Zach-Mettenberger-LSU-Tigers-NCAA-Football-College-Football.jpg 594w, http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/Zach-Mettenberger-LSU-Tigers-NCAA-Football-College-Football-250x166.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Like Texas A&amp;M, the Tigers gave No. 1 Alabama some semblance of competition in a losing effort last week. The Tigers went toe-to-toe with Nick Saban\u2019s squad in the first half and were only down by three at halftime. By the time the second half rolled around, Alabama simply overpowered the Tigers for a 38-17 win. The loss was essentially a crushing blow to any BCS title hopes left for LSU.<\/p>\n<p>Zach Mettenberger threw for 241 yards and a touchdown but got sacked four times. LSU\u2019s running backs were shackled by Alabama\u2019s defense, limiting Jeremy Hill and Terrence Magee to a combined 73 yards. Nevertheless, LSU is one of the best scoring teams in the nation, putting up 37.9 points per game. Their potent offense could explode against the Aggies on Saturday.<\/p>\n[sc:NCAA490banner ]\n<p>Sure, LSU had a hard time scoring against Alabama, but the Crimson Tide are No.1 in the country in points allowed, forcing opponents to bleed for an ample 10.2 points per game. Compare that to the rather lax defense of Texas A&amp;M which is 88<sup>th<\/sup> in the FBS in points allowed per game with 30.9, and one can imagine a smiling Les Miles on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>LSU is 4-0 SU in their last four games at Baton Rouge.<\/p>\n<p>Bet now on the <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/college-football\/ncaa\">LSU Tigers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"10760\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,751&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two teams that gave No. 1 Alabama a run for their money will meet Saturday when Johnny Manziel and the rest of the Texas A&amp;M Aggies seek revenge for their<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"10760\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;2,751&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;1&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4677,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[393,46],"tags":[326,51,336,333,327,49,334,328],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.4 -
