It's a top-20 showdown at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge as No. 3 Texas A&M looks to reverse its fortunes inside Death Valley vs. No. 20 LSU. Ahead of a second consecutive road trip, Olin Buchanan details the in-game matchups that will have the greatest impact on the outcome.

With LSU's College Football Playoff hopes dwindling before November chills arrive in the Bayou State, the temperature under head coach Brian Kelly is beginning to rise. Currently 5-2 and 2-2 in conference, Kelly can't afford too many more setbacks before Tiger fans tell him to "geaux away."

After falling last week in Nashville, Brian Kelly's Bayou Bengals slumped to 5-2 overall and 2-2 in SEC play ahead of this weekend's matchup against unbeaten Texas A&M. After speaking to a few insiders, David Nuño shares some (a lot) information on the 20th-ranked Tigers.

In a back-and-forth Texas A&M vs. LSU series, the home team has won the last eight meetings, and that's a trend the No. 3 Aggies are looking to end in 2025. Before the Week 9 road trip to Baton Rouge, Olin Buchanan identifies players from both teams to keep an eye on.

Yet another dubious streak is facing Mike Elko and the third-ranked Fightin' Texas Aggies as they head to Baton Rouge in search of their first victory at Tiger Stadium since 1994. With kickoff set for 6:30 p.m. CT on Saturday, LSU is 116-15 in night games at Death Valley since 2000.
