No. 8 LSU (6-1, 3-0) will hit the road to College Station for a Week 9 SEC clash against the No. 14 ranked Texas A&M Aggies with significant postseason implications on the line.

With both programs riding six-game winning streaks, it's set the stage for a prime time battle in Kyle Field for the top spot in the Southeastern Conference.

Kickoff is set for 6:44 p.m. CT on ABC and the LSU Sports Radio Network. Chris Fowler (pxp), Kirk Herbstreit (analyst) and Holly Rowe (sideline) will be on the call. 

The Tigers are coming off an impressive 34-10 victory over Arkansas in Fayetteville. Sophomore linebacker Whit Weeks posted his best performance in an LSU uniform with nine tackles, one sack, one interception and a pass breakup, leading the team to a big win in a hostile environment.

This Saturday will be no different as over 102,000+ will be cheering for the home Aggies in a sold-out Kyle Field. It will be up to the Tigers, according LSU head coach Brian Kelly, to go into the venue and lay it all on the line with a bye week approaching.

“You have to go into that stadium and take something from them,” Kelly said on Thursday. “They aren’t going to give it to you. That requires an incredible desire and a want-to. You don’t want to sit around all next week, when you don’t have a game, with any regrets.”
