LSU’s offense looked vulnerable for the first time all season on Saturday in the early stretches against Texas A&M, but even a solid Aggies defense couldn’t keep the Tigers contained forever as coach Brian Kelly’s team ultimately pulled away to a 42-30 win to finish out the regular season at 9-3.
LSU trailed at the half in this one, and it found itself in a 24-14 hole early in the third quarter, but the offense finally heated up, outscoring Texas A&M 21-6 in the fourth quarter.
Despite the slow start, it was ultimately another impressive game from [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag], who put the final touches on his Heisman resume with four passing touchdowns and 355 yards (235 passing, 120 rushing). [autotag]Malik Nabers[/autotag] was his favorite target with six catches for 122 yards and two touchdowns as he became the program’s all-time leader in receptions.
The Tigers were outgained in this game, a rare occurrence even if it was just by one yard.
Now, coach Brian Kelly’s team will await its bowl fate as a 10-win season is still in reach.
