LSU Football vs. Texas A&M Aggies Kickoff Time, TV Channel and Early Predictions

Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers will return to action on Saturday night with a Top-25 SEC matchup against the Texas A&M Aggies up next on the schedule.

After suffering a crushing loss to the Vanderbilt Commodores in Week 8, the Bayou Bengals will look to get back in the win column and keep the program's College Football Playoff hopes alive.

"Nothing changed. We gotta be physical, we gotta be violent, and we gotta play with the energy and the motor like we always do," LSU defensive tackle Ahmad Breaux said. "Flying around the field, that's the key to everything. That's the key to beating everybody and we ain't changing nothing.

"Resetting the front, I feel like being physical up front is really what's gonna make the difference in this game, and having great rush lane integrity. Just like anybody else that would face a mobile quarterback, we have to be good in our rush lanes and our physicality then it'll take care of itself."
