No. 14 Texas A&M Football (6-1, 4-0) and No. 7 LSU (6-1, 3-0) meet on the national stage with massive College Football Playoff implications at stake, when the Tigers enter the second half with a lead of 17-7.

The Aggies committed five penalties in the first two quarters, and the defense struggled to stop LSU's passing attack, giving up 259 yards in the two quarters. While A&M's offense was unable to produce much offense of its own, quarterback Conner Weigman completed five of his 14 pass attempts for 49 yards.

LSU defeated the Aggies 283 to 147 and recorded 11 first downs to A&M's eight.

Texas A&M vs. LSU score updates

The Aggies struggled with penalties, committing five penalties in the first two quarters while the defense allowed 7.6 yards per play, resulting in A&M trailing 17-7 after a chaotic first half.

The Tigers needed just three plays to get their lead back to 10. Nussmeier found wide receiver Aaron Anderson for 76 yards and extended the lead to 17-7.

A&M fell behind by two possessions and had to respond to keep the game from getting too far away from them. A nine-play, 75-yard drive capped by a seven-yard Moss touchdown run was just what they needed to extend the Tigers' lead to 10-7.

Aggies running back Le'Veon Moss caught a third-down checkdown but fumbled on the run, and LSU was there to absorb the mistake. A&M added a 15-yard personal foul on the Tigers at the 21st minute. LSU capitalized on the mistake with a two-yard touchdown pass from Garrett Nussmeier to tight end Mason Taylor to extend its lead to 10-0.

After punts from every offense, including a three-pointer by the Tigers, LSU found a rhythm on its second possession. It drove eight plays and 86 yards, scored three points and took an early 3-0 lead.
