Trash talk: Texas governor Greg Abbott says both Aggies and Longhorns will beat LSU in 2020
The LSU Tigers take on 2 huge programs from the state of Texas during the 2020 season.
Last year, the Tigers took down both the Texas Longhorns and the Texas A&M Aggies en route to a national championship. This year, the Tigers will host the Longhorns in Week 2 before traveling to College Station to play the Aggies to close the regular season.
On Friday, Texas governor Greg Abbott predicted that things would go much better for Lone Star State teams this fall:
You heard it here first.
BOTH the Texas Aggies
AND the Texas Longhorns will beat LSU this season. @AggieFootball @TexasFootball #GigEm #HookEm https://t.co/x4r1DJQIvk— Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) May 30, 2020
ESPN’s FPI begs to differ, giving LSU a 70% chance to beat Texas and a 62.5% chance to beat the Aggies.
Of course, games aren’t played on paper, so we’ll see if Texas A&M and Texas can get some revenge on LSU this fall.
