No. 8 LSU will head to College Station this weekend for a date against the Texas A&M Aggies in the second of back-to-back SEC road games.

After capturing a victory over Arkansas on Saturday night, the Tigers are clicking on all cylinders after adding win No. 6 to the mix and advancing to 6-1 (3-0) on the year.

It was LSU linebacker Whit Weeks who stole the show in Week 8 against the Razorbacks as he continues emerging as one of the top linebackers in America.

The sophomore star ended the night with nine total tackles, a pair of pass breakups and a momentum shifting interception in the third quarter.

Now, after the win, it's on to Week 9 with Texas A&M scorching hot to begin the season as both programs prepare to battle it out for the No. 1 spot in the SEC.

It'll be a game that has significant College Football Playoff implications on the line between their pair of teams unbeaten in SEC play thus far.
