Who: No. 10 LSU Tigers 2-1 (0-1 in SEC) vs. No. 23 Texas A&M Aggies 2-1 (0-1 in SEC)

TV/Streaming: SEC Network
Radio: LSU Sports Radio Network
Radio Announcers: Chris Blair (play-by-play), Jacob Hester (color), Gordy Rush (sideline reporter)
Last Season: Despite a 4-0 start, the Tigers would fall to 5-3 after an embarrassing home loss to the Texas A&M Aggies that would result in the program opting for a head coaching change, and would finish 2-3 the rest of the way for a 7-6 record. The Aggies would experience one of the best seasons in school history, including a historic 11-0 start, but they would drop the season finale to their bitter rivals, the Texas Longhorns, and despite making the College Football Playoffs for the first time in school history, would be eliminated in the first round.
Series History: The Tigers hold a 32-25 all-time series lead over the Aggies, and the two teams have tied three times.

What to Know About the Aggies

The Aggies enter the contest in the same situation as the Tigers, reeling off a loss that puts the program in an early hole. Now they travel to Baton Rouge looking to keep their season alive and avoid a second major loss.

The Aggies are rebuilding the team after losing many of the key pieces of their historic 2025 season and, in a retooling season, have shown signs of growing struggles. A major struggling piece has been returning quarterback Marcel Reed, who has been inconsistent at times.
