On a emotional night in Tiger Stadium, LSU trails Texas A&M, 7-6, at halftime despite winning the turnover battle.
After a turbulent week off the field, the Tigers offense continued its November woes as sophomore quarterback Brandon Harris completed just 4-of-17 passes for 52 yards while junior kicker Trent Domingue was 2-of-4 on field goal attempts.
The LSU defense held the Aggies to a three-and-out on the first possession of the game, but a nine-play drive from on the next series ended in just field goal from Domingue.
On the ensuing kickoff, LSU freshman defensive back Donte Jackson recovered a fumble by Aggie freshman kick returner Christian Kirk. Again, the Tigers were held to just a field goal after starting in the Texas A&M red zone.
Texas A&M, though, would respond three possessions later as sophomore quarterback Kyle Allen found junior receiver Josh Reynolds on an eight-yard strike in the end zone, giving the Aggies a 7-6 lead following the extra point.
LSU’s next possession reached the Texas A&M five-yard line, but sophomore running back Leonard Fournette was dropped for a four-yard loss on third down. Then, Domingue’s third field goal try clanked off the left upright.
Allen and the Aggies looked to extend their lead two possessions later, reaching the LSU seven-yard line, but Allen was sacked and fumbled on the play. The Tigers couldn’t respond with points on the ensuing drive as Domingue’s 50-yard attempt went wide left.
