LSU leads the all-time series 33-21-3. Texas A&M broke a 7 game LSU winning streak with a 74-72 7-overtime game last season at Kyle Field. LSU appears to have revenge on the mind.
Famous LSU alumni include Shaquille O’Neal, Hubert Humphrey, James Carville, Pete Maravich, Mose Allison, and Odell Beckham Jr.
LSU has a live mascot who lives on campus named Mike the Tiger. Mike VII is the current mascot. Live mascots make college football fun, and Mike is one of the best. A&M is 3-2 against teams with a live mascot. (Auburn*, Arkansas, Mississippi State, South Carolina, and Georgia)
LSU was still offsides in 2014.

Revenge Game. LSU’s head football coach, Ed Orgeron said, “It’s gonna be on” when asked about the Aggie game. The players are all talking about wanting revenge on the Aggies after last year’s crazy game. Will LSU come out tight because they are wanting revenge, or will they just roll? Hopefully, it’s more like Fran’s comments about locking the gates at Kyle Field when we played Baylor in 2005 (16-13 OT) to avenge the 2004 34-35 OT loss in Waco...

Aggie QB Kellen Mond joined Johnny Manziel as the only A&M quarterback to have 7,000 career passing yards and 1,000 career rushing yards.
Aggie WR Jhamon Ausbon, became just the 9th player in A&M history to log 60+ catches in a single season.

A chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 55. South wind 5 to 10 mph becoming west after midnight.
