The LSU Tigers (5-2, 2-2 SEC) will return to action in Week 9 with a matchup against Mike Elko and the Texas A&M Aggies up next on the docket for the program.
After suffering a loss to the Vanderbilt Commodores in Week 8, all focus now shifts to a “must-win” SEC showdown against a Top-10 foe in Tiger Stadium.
Brian Kelly and Co. have entered dangerous territory with two losses on the prgoram’s resumé heading into the backend of the 2025 season, but there remains optimism for the Bayou Bengals.
“It’s a competitive group. They’re going to play hard. We just have to play smarter and cleaner. You know I’m not worried about the guys not wanting to play at their very best. They’re going to play at their very best. They’re still in it,” Kelly said.
“You know, they got Texas A&M at home – then they get a week off – and then it’s a four-game race to the SEC championship. So yeah, it’s a disappointing loss.

“There’s no doubt it’s going to be, but they’ve got to bounce back right to reality and know that they’ve got to play mistake-free against their outstanding Aggie team.”
