May be rainy night in "Death Valley" Saturday...
No. 3 Texas A&M and No. 20 LSU renew their highly-competitive SEC rivalry in Saturday night’s much-anticipated Top 20 showdown in Baton Rouge. The third-ranked Aggies (7-0, 4-0 SEC) enter as 2.5-point road favorites over the host Tigers (5-2, 2-2 SEC) with an over-under of 48.5 points, according to BetMGM.
Texas A&M has already ruled out starting running back Le’Veon Moss for a second-consecutive game after suffering an ankle injury against Florida two weeks prior.
LSU -- All eyes are on the status of LSU junior middle linebacker Whit Weeks, the heart and soul of the Tigers defense who missed last week’s 31-24 loss at Vanderbilt while recovering from a bone bruise in his ankle. Weeks, who was listed as “doubtful” in Wednesday’s initial availability report, is expected to remain in a walking boot “for another couple of days” according to head coach Brian Kelly.
“Whit is still non-weightbearing,” Kelly said during Wednesday’s SEC Coaches Teleconference. “He’s in the boot, and we’ll keep the boot on him for another couple of days before we know what he can do. He’s been doing some additional treatments, and he’s feeling better, but we won’t know on him until later in the week.”
