   BATON ROUGE, LA - On a beautiful morning in Tiger Stadium, LSU honored their senior class, then highlighted the day with a huge 42-30 victory over the visiting Texas A&M Aggies. 

   After the slow start Jayden Daniels finished the day going 16-24 for 235 yards and four touchdowns, while adding 120 yards rushing on 11 carries.

   We now wait for Saturday, December 9th in New York City to see if Daniels will be LSU's third Heisman Trophy winner.

   Malik Nabers finished with six catches for 122 yards and two touchdowns. Nabers surpassed Wendall Davis for the most catches in LSU history with 184 career grabs. He also just fell 21 yards short of becoming LSU's all-time leader in receiving yards, a record that he should break in LSU's bowl game. 

   Harold Perkins Jr. lead the Tigers defense with nine tackles, a half a sack and one and a half tackles for loss.

   Greg Penn III added eight total tackles, one sack and a huge interception.


​   LSU got on the board first halfway through the first quarter, driving 60 yards on nine plays, ending with a Logan Diggs one yard touchdown run. 7-0 LSU with 7:52 left in the first period.

   The Aggies responded with an impressive 17 play, 67 yard drive, culminating with a two yard touchdown run by Le'Von Moss to tie the game at 7-7 with 13:43 left in the second quarter. A&M ate 9:02 off the clock on the scoring drive. 

   After a LSU three and out, Texas A&M drove 35 yards in nine plays to take their first lead of the contest on a 48 yard field goal by Randy Bond. 10-7 Aggies with 8:17 to go in the first half.

   The Tigers answered the Aggies score to reclaim the lead, 14-10 on a six yard touchdown pass from Jayden Daniels to Malik Nabers. 

   But the LSU defense couldn't slow down or stop the Texas A&M offense as they would drive 78 yards in 13 plays to take a 17-14 lead on a 14 yard touchdown pass from Jaylen Henderson to Jake Johnson with only 14 seconds left until halftime. 

   HEISMAN WATCH: Jayden Daniels finished the first half going 7-10 for 52 yards and one touchdown while adding 59 yards rushing.


   Texas A&M took the second half kickoff and easily drove 75 yards in seven plays to increase their lead to 24-14 on a one yard touchdown run by Mark Nabou Jr. with 11:04 left in the third quarter. 

   Jayden Daniels and the Tiger offense quickly responded with a eight play 73 yard drive, culminating with a one yard touchdown run by Josh Williams. 24-21 A&M with 7:51 left in the third. The highlight of the drive was a 49 yard run by Daniels on 4th and four from the LSU 47 to the Aggies' four.

   The LSU defense finally came up with their biggest stop of the game when Greg Penn III intercepted a Jaylen Henderson pass at the Tigers' 39 yard line.

   The Tigers took full advantage of the A&M turnover, driving 61 yards in only three plays as Jayden Daniels found Brian Thomas Jr. in the far back corner of the end zone for a 23 yard touchdown. The score put LSU up 28-24 with 11:52 left in the game.

   The LSU defense doesn't get many back to back stops, but they did just that on the Aggies' next possession, forcing a punt after a three and out.

   The Tigers increased their lead to 35-24 when Jayden Daniels hit Malik Nabers on a beautiful 21 yard touchdown with 8:25 left in the contest.

    The LSU defesnse continued to stink like Bourbon street on a Saturday night as they allowed the Aggies to go 64 yards in only three plays to score on a 51 yard touchdown from Henderson to Max Wright. Wright broke three tackles on his way to the end zone. A&M went for two and the conversion fail, as LSU now lead 35-30 with 7:20 left on the clock.

   The LSU offense responded with a seven play 75 yard scoring drive as Jayden Daniels connected with Kyren Lacy for a 15 yard touchdown with 4:19 left, putting the Tigers up 42-30.

   Texas A&M turned the ball over on downs on their next possession putting LSU in position to drive the final nail in the coffin with another score. 

   Starting at the A&M 17 yard line, the Tigers simply ran out the final 2:48 of the game.  Victory for LSU! 

   With the win LSU finishes the season 9-3 overall and 6-2 in SEC play. Now the Tigers will wait to find out their bowl game destination after next weekend's conference championship games.
