Weil COLLEGE STATION, TX - What a disappointing night for the Purple & Gold faithful on Saturday night as LSU fell to the Texas A&M Aggies on the road, 38-23. After leading 17-7 at halftime, LSU found themselves out played and out coached in the second half of the game. Garrett Nussmeier played his worse game of the season, going 25-50 for 405 yards with two touchdown passes and three costly interceptions. The LSU running game sputtered terribly, as the Tigers only rushed for 24 yards on 23 carries. Caden Durham finished with 15 yards on 11 carries, while Josh Williams rushed seven times for 23 yards. LSU had zero rushing yards in the second half. Kyren Lacy led the Tigers with five catches for 106 yards. Caden Durham had four catches for 56 yards. Aaron Anderson finished with 126 yards and a touchdown on three catches. Mason Taylor added three grabs for 21 yards and a touchdown. Chris Hilton Jr. finally saw his first game action of the season, catching two passes for 36 yards. The defense played well until Texas A&M head coach Mike Elco decided to replace Aggie quarterback Conner Weigman with dual threat quarterback Marcel Reed. The gamble paid off as the quarterback change sparked the Texas A&M offense. LSU had no answer for Reed, as he rushed for 62 yards and three touchdowns. Texas A&M rushed for 242 total yards with five rushing scores. Bradyn Swinson finished with seven tackles and a sack. Whit Weeks had seven tackles on the night. Greg Penn III had six tackles and a sack. A week after winning the SEC Special Teams Plater of the Week, Damian Ramos missed two field goals and a third attempt failed due to an errant snap. After the game began with back to back punts, LSU got on the scoreboard first. The Tigers drove 86 yards on 11 plays, but had to settle for a 23 yard Damian Ramos field goal after the drive stalled at the Aggies' six yard line. 3-0 LSU with 6:15 left in the first quarter. On A&M's next possession, Le'veon Bell fumbled and Jardin Gilbert recovered the ball for LSU at the Aggies' 36. A personal foul on Texas A&M moved the ball to the 21 yard line. LSU took full advantage of the turnover. Four plays and 21 yards later, the Bayou Bengals took a 10-0 lead when Garrett Nussmeier found Mason Taylor in the end zone for a two yard touchdown. Texas A&M responded with a 9 play, 74 yard drive, scoring on a seven yard touchdown run by Le'veon Bell. 10-7, LSU with only seven seconds left in the opening quarter. LSU began their next possession at their own 20, as we moved to the second quarter and drove 49 yards in ten plays. The Tigers came away empty handed when Damian Ramos missed a 48 yard field goal attempt. LSU was able to extend their lead late in the second quarter when Nussmeier hit Aaron Anderson on a slant route and Anderson outraced the A&M defense for a 76 yard touchdown. 17-7, Tigers with 4:55 left in the first half. Neither teams could manage another score over the final 4:55 of the half. LSU would take a 17-7 lead into the half time break. With 8:17 left in the third quarter, Garrett Nussmeier forced a throw into coverage and it was intercepted by BJ Mays at the LSU 35 who returned the ball to the LSU eight yard line. On the next play, A&M quarterback Marcel Reed took it into the end zone for the score. With 8:10 left in the third quarter, Texas A&M cut the LSU lead to 17-14. LSU then drove 35 yards on nine plays, but blew a scoring opportunity when LSU had an errant snap on a field goal attempt. A&M responded with a seven play, 60 yard drive, taking their first lead of the contest on a eight yard touchdown run by Marcel Reed. 21-17, Aggies with 1:00 left in the third quarter. Nussmeier threw another interception on LSU's next possession, setting up Texas A&M on the Tigers' 26 yard line. Five plays later, Marcel Reed would score his third touchdown of the game on a four yard run. 28-17, Aggies with 14:07 left in the contest. LSU answered with a nine play, 78 yard drive, culminating with a one yard quarterback sneak by Nussmeier for a touchdown. The Tigers failed at a two point conversion attempt.

The meltdown continued on LSU's next possession when Nussmeier threw his third interception of the contest. The Aggies turned the turnover into three points on a 26 yard field Goal by Randy Bond for the game's final margin. With the loss, LSU falls to 6-2 overall and 3-1 in SEC play.
