Texas A&M used a monster second-half effort to zoom past LSU and move a step closer to the SEC Championship Game. The Aggies scored 35 unanswered points in the second half behind a strong effort from quarterback Marcel Reed to fly past LSU for a historic victory.

Texas A&M coach Mike Elko said he isn't worried about the program's decades of underachievement and is focused on the 2025 Aggies, who are 8-0 after beating LSU 49-25 on Saturday.

Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko acknowledged earlier this week that his program was “going to have to go out” and make good on their proclamations to build

The Texas A&M defense suffocated Garrett Nussmeier and the LSU offense, holding the Tigers to just 278 total yards while sacking LSU quarterbacks seven times. The Tigers had just 14 yards in the second half until a 75-yard, garbage-time touchdown drive in the final minutes.

The SEC announced Monday that the Texas A&M game at Missouri is Saturday, Nov. 8 and will kick off at 2:30 p.m. The No. 3 Aggies, undefeated at 8-0 this season so far, look to make it three straight wins against the Tigers after a 41-10 victory at Kyle Field last season, and a 35-14 road win at Memorial Stadium in 2021.

For Texas A&M’s offense, the highest graded player was center Mark Nabou Jr. Nabou missed all of the Aggies’ 2024 season with an injury and has not missed a beat since getting healthy. He recorded an 83.4 pass blocking grade and a 75.8 run blocking grade, the highest on the squad.
