No. 23 Texas A&M at No. 10 LSU Tigers: Live Updates, Box Score

It's only Week 4 of the 2026 college football season, and the No. 23 Texas A&M Aggies are already in danger of missing out on the College Football Playoff after a disappointing 31-21 loss to Kentucky last week at Kyle Field.

Looking for redemption, the Aggies take their first road trip of the year as they head east to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to take on Lane Kiffin and the No. 10 LSU Tigers, who are also looking to avenge a loss from last week, a 32-24 defeat in Oxford at the hands of Kiffin's old kroonies from Ole Miss.

Texas A&M has come out on top the past two times they have crossed paths with their conference foes, but with struggles evident for the team this early in the year, can they keep that momentum up when they go on the road against LSU?

Last year saw a close match between the two schools to start, with LSU holding a narrow 18-14 lead at halftime before getting absolutely thrashed by the Aggies with 35 unanswered points in the second half, resulting in a 49-25 win for the Maroon and White, as well as the subsequential firing of then-LSU head coach Brian Kelly.

Texas A&M hasn't played a Lane Kiffin-coached squad since 2023, when they lost a close 38-35 game in Oxford to the Rebels.

The two SEC teams are set to kickoff at 6:30 PM, and be sure to check back here for live updates as the action unfolds from Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge.

change of possession

Facing third down, Marcel Reed scrambles backwards and is forced to throw it away, and the Aggies send a punt away themselves.

change of possession

Sam Leavitt dials up a 19-yard completion to Jackson Harris, and Dilin Jones breaks off a 36-yard rush to quickly put the Tigers in A&M territory. A pass play to Winston Watkins Jr. inches them closer, and Jones then punches it in from the one-yard line to put the Tigers on the board first.

Tigers 7, Aggies 0

change of possession

A completion to Isaiah Horton is reeled back thanks to an ineligible man downfield penalty, and on 3rd & 15, Reed's pass to Rueben Owens bounces off his hands, and the Aggies punt again.

change of possession

On 3rd & 6, Sam Leavitt scrambles and at first, it seems that he made it to the line to gain, but after further review, Leavitt started his slide a yard short. LSU goes for it, and ends up taking the delay of game penalty after failing to get A&M to jump offsides, and they punt.

change of possession

Rueben Owens opens the drive with a 16-yard rush, but a pair of one-yard plays and another rush that puts Owens just short of the first down marker forces another Aggie punt.

change of possession

Bravion Rogers breaks up Leavitt's 3rd & 6 pass, and the Aggies force a three-and-out.

2nd Quarter

A 19-yard completion to Ashton Bethel-Roman is ruled an incomplete pass, and a false start on third down pushes them back five more yards, resulting in a short pass to Mario Craver that pushes the pile at the line to gain and ends up moving the chains. After the 14-play drive, the Aggies get on the board with a 24-yard field goal by David Olano.

Tigers 7, Aggies 3

change of possession

Leavitt connects with Harris for a 26-yard completion, and a rush by Leavitt brings up fourth down with four yards to go. Another delay of game leads to another LSU punt.

change of possession

A huge gain by Kelshaun Johnson is brought back after an offensive pass interference call, and the Aggies eventually punt it away.

change of possession

After one Leavitt deep ball falls incomplete, the next one falls right into Winston Watkins Jr.'s hands for a 35-yard gain on 3rd & 7. Another big play from Leavitt to Watkins goes for 36 yards to put LSU in the red zone, and the drive is topped off with a perfectly thrown ball to Jackson Harris in the back corner of the end zone for the touchdown.

Tigers 14, Aggies 3

3rd Quarter

Marcel Reed is sacked by Temarcus Cooley on third down, and Texas A&M quickly goes three-and-out to start the second half.

Sam Leavitt hobbles off the field, putting Landen Clark in under center, but the result remains the same as he scampers into the end zone for a touchdown to extend LSU's lead.

Marcel Reed is sacked for a loss of 17 yards, and the Aggies are unable to even get close to moving the chains as they punt it away.

Leavitt's first pass of the drive is tipped by Sam M'Pemba and right into the hands of Marcus Ratcliffe for the interception.

Unfortunately, there is no gain for the Aggies during the drive, and David Olano is brought on for the 53-yard field goal attempt, and it splits the uprights.

Tigers 28, Aggies 6

change of possession

Leavitt connects with Harris for a 40-yard completion, and a defensive pass interference call against Jordan Shaw puts the ball at the two-yard line, where Clark runs in his second touchdown of the night.

4th Quarter

Starting a drive on their own one-yard line doesn't help A&M's case, and a drop by Micah Riley leads to an interception by Reed, picked off by Temarcus Cooley.
