The Aggies (7-0, 4-0 SEC) are off to their best start since 1994, which also happens to be the last time they won at Tiger Stadium. If they can beat No. 20 LSU (5-2, 2-2) on Saturday night, it'll be another first-in-a-long-time accomplishment this season under second-year Coach Mike Elko.

Texas A&M and LSU have played highly competitive games in recent years, kicked off by a historic seven-overtime matchup in 2018.

Marcel Reed came off the bench and scored three touchdowns in a come-from-behind victory.

No. 3 Texas A&M is 7-0 for the first time since 1994 after defeating Arkansas last week. A&M is on a fast track for the SEC Championship and the College Football Playoff. Winning in Death Valley will be crucial to keep the Aggies’ momentum going amidst a three-game SEC road trip.
