Texas A&M Aggies Storm Back to Defeat No. 8 LSU, Prepare for Mississippi State

The No. 14 Texas A&M Aggies secured a significant victory over the weekend, defeating the No. 8 LSU Tigers in a thrilling matchup. This win marks one of the Aggies’ most notable achievements of the season, highlighting their strength and resilience in the SEC.

Following their bye week, the Aggies are set to face the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Saturday. This upcoming game is crucial as the Aggies aim to maintain their 3-0 SEC record and extend their five-game winning streak. The Bulldogs, despite being winless in SEC play after a recent loss to No. 5 Georgia, are not to be underestimated.

Texas A&M’s success has been bolstered by their strong running game, with the team averaging 232 yards on the ground per game. Running back Le'Veon Moss is among the top performers in the SEC in terms of rushing yards. The Aggies’ defense, led by coach Mike Elko, has also been impressive, boasting one of the best run defenses in the nation.

However, the Aggies are facing some challenges, including an injury to freshman Terry Bussey ahead of the Mississippi State game. Additionally, quarterback Conner Weigman recently returned from an injury to his throwing shoulder, which he sustained during the season opener against Notre Dame.

Coach Mike Elko’s impact on the team has been significant, with the Aggies holding a 5-1 overall record and a 3-0 conference record. Elko’s performance has earned him a spot on the watch list for the Paul “Bear” Bryant Coach of the Year Award.
