The No. 10-ranked LSU Tigers absolutely stomped Texas A&M 35-6 inside Tiger Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 26. This was a massive bounce-back win in a rivalry showdown, especially after Lane Kiffin’s squad dropped their first game of his era just last week at Ole Miss. The Tigers dusted themselves off and made light work of the Aggies, no doubt about it.
LSU’s Defense Shut Down A&M’s Offense Cold
You know Marcel Reed? The guy who has lit up the Tigers’ defense for the past two seasons? Well, LSU Defensive Coordinator Blake Baker’s unit had his number this time around. The defense allowed LSU to hold the Aggies off early in the game, giving their offense time to find its rhythm. And when it did, A&M was already cooked. The front seven was an absolute beast, stacking up four sacks and completely corraling Reed, limiting Texas A&M to a measly 149 total yards. That’s a statement, folks.
Kiffin’s Crew Finds Its Groove
While the defense was suffocating A&M, the LSU offense was busy figuring things out. Once they clicked, it was game over. The Aggies really couldn’t threaten LSU in this SEC conference clash. This win pushes the No. 10 Tigers to a 3-1 overall record, now 1-1 in SEC play. A&M, on the other hand, drops to 2-2 overall and 0-2 in the conference. After a performance like that, you gotta wonder what the Aggies do next against an LSU team that was clearly out for blood.
