Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers headline a loaded Week 9 slate in the Southeastern Conference with the program set to square off against the Texas A&M Aggies.

With a pair of losses on the resumé to this point, No. 20 LSU will look to get the ship steered back in the right direction on Saturday against a talented Texas A&M Aggies squad.

"Our guys are certainly in a position to do something great here in Tiger Stadium, that is beat the No. 3 team in the country," Kelly said this week. "Our focus is squarely on doing that for four quarters, playing the type of football necessary to beat a top three team.

"Practice yesterday, loved our energy and enthusiasm. Really pleased with the mindset of our team and the opportunity that lies in front of them."

For the LSU Tigers, the program enters the matchup looking to keep the program's College Football Playoff hopes alive with a loss seemingly knocking the program out of contention.
