The Texas A&M Aggies trailed the LSU Tigers 17-7 headed into halftime of Saturday's top-15 SEC matchup at Kyle Field.

The Tigers and quarterback Garrett Nussmeier found tons of success down the field against the Texas A&M secondary. Nussmeier finished the half 14 of 26 passing for 259 yards and two touchdowns, highlighted by a 76-yard catch-and-run score by receiver Avery Anderson.

The Tigers had five pass plays of 20 yards or more.

Things were polar opposite for the A&M offense. Conner Weigman went 5 of 14 passing for 49 yards and no touchdowns. Texas A&M running back Le'Veon Moss scored a seven-yard rushing touchdown at the end of the first quarter.

LSU left points on the board missing two field goals.

Facing a 3rd and 15 at the start of the second quarter, Nussmeier launched a deep shot to Kyren Lacy for a 33-yard gain. He found him again on 3rd and 7 a few plays later to keep the drive rolling. However, the Aggies defense held up and forced a field goal, which was missed.

Texas A&M will receive the second-half kickoff.
