Report Card: Grading LSU after difficult loss to Texas A&M

LSU received some tough grades following its 20-7 loss to Texas A&M. The defense earned some high marks, but that was not enough for LSU.

The grades for LSU are in after the Tigers lost Saturday night against Texas A&M. And those grades are not particularly pretty this week. While there are at least a couple of bright spots to highlight in LSU’s loss, the review of this game was not too kind to the Tigers.

Here is the report card for LSU after its 2-0-7 loss to the Aggies this weekend.

Quarterbacks: D

It can be really easy to be incredibly down on TJ Finley after the kind of performance he had against Texas A&M. Two interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown and completing just nine of 25 pass attempts would certainly seem to be a slam dunk case for a failing grade. However, we’ll give Finley a slight pass because he was up against one of the best defenses in the country, on the road. There wasn’t much to be proud of, but perhaps this is just one stumble that serves as a learning experience.

MAx Johnson did come into the game and led LSU to a touchdown late in the fourth quarter to avoid being shut out by the Aggies.
