In a game that would typically close the college football season for these two teams, the No. 14 Texas A&M Aggies and No. 8 LSU Tigers will meet to close out the month of October in front of what is expected to be a jam-packed 12th Man crowd.

And this time, there's a lot more riding on the game than there has been in past years.

The rivalry game really couldn't have been scheduled at a better moment in time. Both Texas A&M and LSU have yet to lose a game against SEC opponents, the only two in the SEC who are able to say so.

Texas A&M returns to Kyle Field fresh off of a 34-24 route of the Mississippi State Bulldogs last week in Starkville. Some early struggles from both the Aggie defense and also Conner Weigman kept the game close in the first half, but the Aggies were able to gather themselves in the second half and win their sixth straight game.

LSU also claimed another SEC road win last week, taking care of the Arkansas Razorbacks in Fayetteville, 34-10, also their sixth straight win.

Garrett Nussmeier currently leads the SEC with 18 passing touchdowns, but the Aggie rushing game is functioning like no other this season, averaging 5.39 yards a carry, and are led by Le'Veon Moss, who ranks second in the conference with 96.3 rushing yards per game and 674 rushing yards in 2024.

As well as these two teams know each other, there is also some chemistry between the two head coaches, as Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko was defensive coordinator for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in 2017. The head coach during that time? Brian Kelly, the current head coach at LSU.

Will LSU leave College Station atop the SEC rankings? Or will the Aggies tame yet another Tiger SEC team?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Aggies win the coin toss and defer to the second half. The Tigers will receive the opening kick.

FIRST QUARTER

The Aggies and their fans make their presence felt early, as a tackle for loss by Taurean York and two incompletions from Garrett Nussmeier force an LSU three-and-out.

change of possession

A facemask by the LSU defense gives A&M a first down after a strong run from Le'Veon Moss, but Weigman is sacked on the next play and a run from Amari Daniels doesn't go anywhere. A throw from Weigman goes just behind Noah Thomas and forces the Aggies to punt it away.

change of possession

A 40-yard wheel route by Caden Durham gets the Tigers to the A&M 30-yard line, and the Tigers inch closer and closer to the Aggie end zone, but eventually stall at the six-yard line and LSU settles for a 23-yard field goal from Damian Ramos.

FIELD GOAL, LSU.

Tigers 3, Aggies 0

change of possession

Conner Weigman's first pass of the drive goes over Cyrus Allen, and just as Le'Veon Moss seems to be heading for a first down, he takes a hard hit and fumbles the ball, which is recovered by LSU.

change of possession

The Tigers are able to take full advantage of the fumble recovery, as Nussmeier finds Mason Taylor in the end zone for the score.

TOUCHDOWN, LSU

Tigers 10, Aggies 0

change of possession

Le'Veon Moss redeems himself for his fumble as he spins out of a tackle on a 25-yard gain. Amari Daniels makes his presence felt on a first-down conversion on third and eight with a 12-yard gain. Weigman finds his first few yards with an 11-yard throw to Jabre Barber, and again to Barber on a 13-yard gain to get the Aggies into the red zone. The completion puts Le'Veon Moss in perfect position for a rushing score, which he does on the following play from seven yards out. Bond's kick is good.

TOUCHDOWN, Texas A&M.

Tigers 10, Aggies 7

SECOND QUARTER

A false start makes it third and 15 for the Tigers, but a 33-yard completion from Nussmeier to Kyren Lacy quickly erases the long yardage to go, followed by another Nussmeier-Lacy connection on third down for 21 yards. Nussmeier takes a shot on second down for the end zone, but Dalton Brooks bats the ball down. A rush by Durham goes nowhere, and the 48-yard field goal from Damian Ramos is no good.

change of possession

Conner Weigman dances around to gain a handful of yards, only to be sacked two plays later. A false start and short rush force the Aggies to punt the ball away.

change of possession

Shemar Turner seems to nab a nice tackle for loss, but a facemask call on Aggie DB Jayvon Thomas gives the Tigers an automatic first down. Nussmeier finds Durham for negative yardage, but then connects with Aaron Anderson for a 76-yard touchdown to extend the LSU lead.

TOUCHDOWN, LSU.

Tigers 17, Aggies 7

change of possession

A four-yard quarterback scramble, an incomplete pass, a false start, and another incompletion make up the Aggie offensive drive as they punt the ball away.

change of possession

Chris Hilton Jr. notches a 15-yard reception on the first play of the drive, and Nussmeier finds Lacy for a 30-yard gain to quickly put the Tigers in Aggie territory. Luckily for the A&M defense, this is all they can muster. Ramos attempts another field goal, this time from 49, and yet again, the kick is no good.

change of possession

Amari Daniels runs a Tiger over on a 10-yard rush and Shane Calhoun makes a six-yard reception, but the Aggies stall a little past midfield, turning the ball over on downs.

change of possession

The Tigers try a couple of deep throws, but both fall incomplete, and Josh Williams loses yards on a rush. Durham takes a jet sweep for a handful of yards as the first half clock hits 0:00.

THIRD QUARTER

Conner Weigman's first pass is a contested ball towards Jahdae Walker in double coverage that luckily is not intercepted. Weigman is able to find his running back Moss over the middle for a 15-yard gain. However, Moss then drops a pass and Weigman is sacked on third down, and the Aggies punt it away.

change of possession

Aaron Anderson takes a Garrett Nussmeier pass 17 yards for a first down, but two incomplete passes force the Tigers to punt it away.

change of possession

Conner Weigman is sacked to begin the drive for a loss of six, and Amari Daniels is able to make up most of the lost yardage with an 11-yard run, but Weigman's pass on third down goes over Cyrus Allen's head and the Aggies punt it away.

change of possession

Nussmeier is pressured hard by the Aggie defense, and throws a pass right to BJ Mayes for the interception, and the Aggies are inside LSU's 10-yard line.

change of possession

The Aggies waste no time taking advantage of the pick, as Marcel Reed stands in under center and runs it into the end zone himself from eight yards out for six. Bond's kick is good.

TOUCHDOWN, Texas A&M.

Tigers 17, Aggies 14

change of possession

The Aggies seemingly make a stop on third down, but a pass interference call and a questionable roughing the passer call both on A&M put LSU at midfield. Nussmeier finds Kyren Lacy for the 15-yard gain on third down, and on third and seven, Nussmeier's pass is broken up by Scooby Williams. LSU attempts another field goal, but a bad snap marks the third failed field goal for the Tigers.

change of possession

With Marcel Reed now officially in under center, the aggressive Aggie running attack of Moss, Daniels, and Reed drive the Aggies down the field, which results in Reed keeping the ball and pushing the pile over the goal line as the Aggies take their first lead of the game.

TOUCHDOWN, Texas A&M.

Aggies 21, Tigers 17

change of possession

Nussmeier tries to get the Tigers back into the game, but is picked off my BJ Mayes for the second time tonight.

FOURTH QUARTER

Le'Veon Moss originally scores, but the points are erased after a targeting call on Jahdae Walker, which was confirmed and resulted in Walker being ejected from the game. The call doesn't phase the Aggie rush game at all, as Marcel Reed scores his third rushing score of the game.

TOUCHDOWN, Texas A&M.

Aggies 28, Tigers 17

change of possession

After a false start pushes them back, Garrett Nussmeier completes a 14-yard pass to Zavion Thomas to move the chains for the Tigers.

The Tigers attempt the two-point conversion, and are unsuccessful.
