BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU defensive end Arden Key doesnt necessarily do himself any favors with his unfiltered expressions of self-confidence.The eyebrow-raising sack total the 6-foot-6, 240-pound sophomore has boldly projected for himself provides opposing offensive linemen, blocking tight ends and chipping running backs no shortage of motivation to slam shut every opening Key could possibly find to the quarterback.Yet with five sacks through three games, Key is on pace to reach his stated goal of 20 sacks -- which would shatter LSUs single-season record by eight.Thats gotten the attention of Auburn coach Gus Malzahn, whose team will host Key and 18th-ranked LSU this Saturday.You have to know where he is, Malzahn said. When he knows it is pass, he is a factor.Key is an edge pass-rusher in the mold of former LSU star defensive end Barkevious Mingo, who was tall, relatively slender and fast. Key even wears the same No. 49 Mingo did, but could wind up with more impressive numbers. Mingo maxed out at eight sacks in a season and finished with 17 in his three-year college career before turning pro after his junior season.Key had five sacks as a true freshman last season, meaning the 20-year-old now has double-digit career sacks just three games into his sophomore campaign. His most recent sack -- in which he also stripped Mississippi State quarterback Damian Williams -- resulted in a late-game turnover that sealed LSUs 23-20 victory over the Bulldogs last weekend.Hes a blur to block. He gives you edge pressure immediately, and hell have the penchant for making big plays, LSU head coach Les Miles said. If he keeps working hard and does the right things, hell have a great year.Malzahn said he ranks Key alongside Myles Garrett of Texas A&M as two of the best (pass rushers) in the country.Their skill sets and their explosiveness, their length and their talent -- thats what makes them unique, Malzahn said.Key, who unabashedly revealed in August that he was aiming for 20 sacks, doesnt see any reason why his goal should draw ridicule from offensive linemen around the Southeastern Conference.Its attainable, Key said as he began to lay out the logic underlying his goal. You play 12 games, you get one sack a game, thats 12 sacks. You get a half (more), or two, who knows what youll come out with.Key said that when he spent part of the offseason watching video of his 2015 season, he saw numerous instances in which he could have had sacks that hed missed with better technique and discipline. So he worked on honing his game in those areas, and also built up his lower-body strength -- adding about 10 pounds -- to help him gain more leverage on blockers and improve his balance.He added that the versatile 3-4 scheme installed by first-year LSU defensive coordinator Dave Aranda should help him.Its going to be hard to chip me when you dont know when Im coming, or where Im coming from, Key said.LSUs single season sack record of 12 was set back in 1989 by linebacker Oliver Lawrence. Key said he simply wont be satisfied by merely breaking that record, which is why hes trying to smash it.I want to be the best pass rusher to ever come out of college football, Key said.Miles sounded almost incredulous when he heard about Keys goal -- not that he wanted to discourage him.I think he will have a very successful year not necessarily having 20 tackles for loss or 20 sacks, Miles said. But should he have 20 sacks, I would be the first one celebrating that number.---AP Sports Writer John Zenor in Auburn, Alabama, contributed to this report.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.orgRichard Dent Jersey .

On Saturday, one of them will be the outright champion.The ninth-ranked Aggies make the short 55-mile trip from Greensboro to take on the No. 24 Eagles in Durham in a winner-take-all season finale with a trip to the Celebration Bowl on the line.North Carolina A&T (9-1) has won all seven of its conference games following its only loss, 58-21 at FBS member Tulsa on Sept. 17. North Carolina Central (8-2) is also unbeaten in seven MEAC contests and has won eight in a row overall, leading to the program entering the STATS FCS Top 25 for the first time Monday.That means there can be only one MEAC champion after the Aggies and Eagles were part of a five-way tie in 2014 before both shared the title with Bethune-Cookman last season. North Carolina A&T won the tiebreaker in 2015 and went on to beat Southwestern Athletic Conference champion Alcorn State 41-34 in the inaugural Celebration Bowl.The Eagles have won the past two meetings in this series -- both in the season finale -- to earn a share of the MEAC title.Its going to be a big one, said North Carolina A&Ts Rod Broadway, a finalist for the STATS Eddie Robinson Award as FCS Coach of the Year. Were going up against a 7-0 team and theyre our biggest rival. We have to be better prepared to play well.The Eagles have managed to beat the Aggies twice in a row despite Tarik Cohen combining for 315 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

The Eagles lead the MEAC with 225 passing yards per game behind redshirt senior Malcolm Bell, who tops the league with 2,007 yards and 15 passing TDs and is tied for second with seven rushing scores.North Carolina A&T also has a star quarterback in redshirt sophomore Lamar Raynard, who ranks first in the MEAC in completion percentage (64.6) and pass efficiency (140.8 rating) and second behind Bell in passing TDs (14).Both squads have solid receiving corps. The Aggies are led by senior Denzel Keyes and freshman Elijah Bell, who have combined for 15 TD catches, while senior LaVontis Smith and sophomore Jalen Wilkes have five each for the Eagles.I think everybodys getting what they always wanted, theyre gonna get an outright champion this year, said North Carolina Central coach and Eddie Robinson Award finalist Jerry Mack.
