Today at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS, one of college football's leading Heisman Trophy candidates Johnny Manziel will lead the No. 12 Texas A&M Aggies (8-2, 4-2) against the No. 22 LSU Tigers (7-3, 3-3) in Baton Rouge in action that can be live streamed free here. Aggies fans can listen to the game on 105.3 The Fan, while LSU faithful can follow along by tuning in to Eagle 98.1 FM.
Despite three losses in the SEC, and perhaps the conference's most dynamic player staring across from them, LSU head coach Les Miles believes his defense has what it takes to corral the Aggies.
"I want the defense to stop them," Miles said. "Certainly we recognize the challenge that an offense like A&M will bring. ... I like my defense. I suspect they'll play best in this game. I think they'll be a challenge to A&M and I think being in Tiger Stadium will be a challenge to A&M. It's a much different environment and a place where the home team generally does pretty good."
Johnny Football seems pumped for the challenge presented by the Tigers in their home stadium. "I want nothing more than to win these next two games and to get into a good bowl game and go 10-2 in another regular season," Manziel said. "I can't even put into words how bad I want that for seniors on this team and for this team in general."
While he chases his second straight Heisman Trophy, there's been a lot of chatter about where he will be playing next season. According to reports, Manziel plans onn announcing whether or not he will head to the NFL next year before Texas A&M's bowl game.
"We haven't had that conversation," Aggies head coach Kevin Sumlin said. "My job is to get him all the facts that we can get him. We'll have that discussion after the Missouri game, certainly during the bowl preparation. I'm sure the announcement will be made at that time."
