The Tigers added a touchdown in the fourth quarter, but it was already too late. The score only cut the deficit to 15 points with 6:21 left to play. LSU also failed to convert a two-point conversion.
After LSU punted on its first possession, the Aggies and Tigers traded long scoring drives. Texas A&M went on a 15-play, 90-yard march to take the first lead of the game, 7-0, before LSU answered with its own 12-play 75-yard touchdown drive. The running game is often key to sustaining long drives, and that's what both teams displayed in the opening half. Texas A&M had 137 rushing yards, mostly from star running back Devon Achane. LSU finished the half with 64 yards.LSU, which entered with the No. 11 defense in the nation according to ESPN's College Football Power Index, couldn't get off the field in the first half against the No. 88 offense in Texas A&M.
LSU didn't have many busts in coverage or surrender a ton of big plays. They were mostly nickel-and-dimed by an Aggies offense that converted on 7 of 8 third downs, most of them being the third-and-short variety.
