The LSU Tigers will be playing 60 minutes on Saturday, but they're expected to have things wrapped up well before that. LSU and the Texas A&M Aggies will face off in an SEC battle at 7 p.m. ET at Tiger Stadium. LSU is currently enjoying a perfect season and is looking to extend their dominance.
When you finish with 334 more yards than your opponent like the Tigers did last week, a favorable outcome is almost sure to follow. They put a hurting on the Arkansas Razorbacks to the tune of 56-20. RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire had a dynamite game for LSU; he rushed for 188 yards and three TDs on six carries. One of the most memorable plays of the contest was Edwards-Helaire's 89-yard touchdown rush in the third quarter.
Meanwhile, A&M didn't finish too far behind, but the squad still lost 19-13 to the Georgia Bulldogs. A silver lining for A&M was the play of WR Jhamon Ausbon, who caught nine passes for 96 yards and one TD. Ausbon didn't help his team much against the South Carolina Gamecocks two weeks ago, so this was a nice turnaround for him.
LSU's win lifted them to 11-0 while Texas A&M's loss dropped them down to 7-4. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: The Tigers rank 19th in the league when it comes to rushing touchdowns, with 27 on the season. But the Aggies come into the matchup boasting the 16th fewest rushing touchdowns allowed in the league at ten. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
