No. 3 Texas A&M Routs No. 20 LSU 49-25 as 'Fire Kelly' Chants Erupt

The second-half collapse further damaged LSU’s Playoff hopes, intensifying questions about Brian Kelly’s job security.

Overview

  • Marcel Reed accounted for four touchdowns, passing for 202 yards and rushing for 108 to lead the Aggies in Baton Rouge.
  • Texas A&M scored 35 unanswered points after halftime, highlighted by KC Concepcion’s 79-yard punt-return touchdown.
  • LSU led 18-14 at the break but unraveled on special teams and offense, with Brian Kelly later calling special teams “atrocious.”
  • Fans at Tiger Stadium chanted “Fire Kelly,” and broadcast cameras captured Kelly berating offensive coordinator Joe Sloan during the game.
  • The defeat drops LSU to 5-3 and fuels hot-seat talk complicated by a reported ~$53.3 million buyout, as ex-LSU staffer Tommy Moffitt’s pregame tackling dummy jab added to the spectacle.
