No. 10 LSU Defeats No. 23 Texas A&M 31-21 in Pivotal SEC Clash

No. 10 LSU defeated No. 23 Texas A&M 31-21 in a pivotal SEC matchup at Tiger Stadium. Both teams entered the game looking to rebound from Week 3 losses, with another defeat threatening to weaken their College Football Playoff prospects.
LSU had fallen from No. 7 to No. 10 after losing 32-24 to Ole Miss in Oxford the previous week.
A WAFB report said the loser would have two losses before October and less than a 10% chance of reaching the College Football Playoff.
Texas A&M’s secondary was a particular concern: the article cited explosive passing performances against the Aggies by Arizona State and Kentucky, and reported that team captain Marcus Ratcliffe said practice had been “too loose” and players had not focused on small details.
The game was scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. kickoff, with ABC and ESPN Unlimited carrying the broadcast.
