No. 3 Texas A&M is heading to LSU for an important SEC battle at Tiger Stadium. The Aggies are the only unbeaten team left in the SEC, starting the season 7-0, including four consecutive wins in conference play. However, the upcoming game marks the first time they encounter a ranked SEC opponent this season, although Texas A&M had earlier defeated No. 8 Notre Dame on the road.

In contrast, LSU is struggling after losses to No. 13 Ole Miss and No. 17 Vanderbilt in the past three weeks. This defeat against Vanderbilt was particularly rough, being their first loss to them since 1990, and LSU allowed 239 yards and three touchdowns on the ground to Diego Pavia and his offense. Another loss could likely eliminate the Tigers from College Football Playoff contention.

Texas A&M vs. LSU: Need to know

Best on best: Texas A&M’s wide receivers against LSU’s secondary provide one of the most exciting position matchups in the SEC this year.

The Tigers currently rank No. 15 in the SEC in rushing offense at 112.9 yards per game, and they confront a formidable challenge against Texas A&M’s highly-rated defense.
