Overview
- Marcel Reed totaled four touchdowns with 202 passing yards and 108 rushing yards as Texas A&M outscored LSU 35-7 after halftime.
- KC Concepcion returned a punt 79 yards for a third-quarter touchdown as the Aggies seized control and strengthened their SEC and College Football Playoff outlook.
- The win ended Texas A&M’s six-game skid at Tiger Stadium, marked its first victory there since 1994, and delivered the program’s first 8-0 start since 1992.
- LSU led 18-14 at the break but sputtered in the second half; Garrett Nussmeier finished with 168 passing yards and one touchdown.
- LSU fans chanted “Fire Kelly,” cameras captured Brian Kelly in a heated exchange with OC Joe Sloan, and Kelly later blasted special teams after conceding the long punt-return score; a CBS Sports report noted A&M used a tackling dummy with Kelly’s face as pregame motivation.
