Overview
- LSU beat Texas A&M 35-6 Saturday night in Baton Rouge, outgaining the Aggies 506 to 197 and limiting A&M to two field goals.
- Quarterback Marcel Reed completed 10 of 26 passes for about 106 yards with an interception, and coach Mike Elko said he will not make an immediate quarterback change.
- The offensive line was overwhelmed, surrendering multiple sacks that collapsed the pocket and prevented the Aggies from sustaining drives.
- Texas A&M’s secondary and communication breakdowns allowed several explosive plays, including a 57-yard touchdown on fourth-and-short, and injuries to key receivers further hampered the offense.
- Criticism of Elko’s staff and recent internal promotions has intensified after consecutive SEC losses, leaving the program under pressure with a primetime home game vs. Arkansas next.
