ARLINGTON, Texas--Texas A&M linebacker Michael Hodges will miss the remainder of the game with a right knee injury.
He entered the game with 111 tackles, and already had four in the first quarter before leaving. There's no doubt he'll be missed in a big way by the Aggies. Look no further than LSU's last drive, which resulted in a touchdown to put the Tigers ahead 14-10 after an early 10-0 spurt by the Aggies.
LSU threw exactly one pass on the drive, and it was incomplete. It ran eight times for 60 yards and finished it off with a touchdown.
Without Hodges in the lineup, and unless the Aggies can slow an uncharacteristically leaky run defense for the final two-plus quarters, the offense is going to need to put plenty more points on the board to keep up.
