Story summary

On September 26, LSU (ranked No. 10) hosted Texas A&M (No. 23) in a critical SEC game at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Both teams entered the matchup after losses to Ole Miss and Kentucky respectively, making this an elimination game for their College Football Playoff hopes. LSU won decisively with a score of 35-6, thanks largely to quarterback Sam Leavitt's performance, who threw two touchdown passes including a 57-yard fourth-down play to Jackson Harris that put the Tigers ahead 21-3 in the third quarter. Texas A&M struggled with their quarterback Marcel Reed, who completed only 10 of 26 passes for 106 yards and was intercepted once. The win solidified LSU's standing while diminishing Texas A&M’s playoff chances significantly.
