One day after Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry said Scott Woodward wouldn't hire the next LSU coach, the athletic director is expected to leave.

Brentwood (Tenn.) five-star wide receiver Kesean Bowman has narrowed his focus to 10 programs with the LSU Tigers making the cut for the elite pass-catcher. The

Texas A&M’s Mike Elko and SMU’s Rhett Lashlee are viewed as top candidates for some of the biggest job openings.

LSU football plays host to Texas A&M at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday in a game that's crucial for both teams in the College Football Playoff pursuit. This is the place to keep up with the score and live updates. LSU (5-2, 2-2) has lost two of its last three games while the Aggies (7-0, 4-0) roll in as one of the hottest teams in the SEC.

Texas A&M's 49-25 win over LSU has already impacted the recruiting trail, as a long list of 2027 targets were highly impressed.

Texas A&M DC Jay Bateman loved Cashius Howell's viral moment against LSU, showing the senior edge in full beast mode against LSU's offensive line.

Howell floated under the radar last seeason, playing behind first and second day NFL Draft picks Shemar Stewart and Nic Scourton. Despite the limited reps, he was still the most productive A&M defensive lineman and recorded 40 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, four sacks, an interception and a forced fumble.

Once Texas A&M’s punt returner got loose, coach Brian Kelly reached above his head, grabbed his headset and spiked it into the ground.

LSU sent a blitz off the edges and as A&M's protection held up, there was a wide lane in the middle of the field. Aggies quarterback Marcel Reed ripped off up the gut and burned the Tigers for a 41-yard touchdown run.

The Texas A&M Aggies are legitimate. The Battered-Aggie Syndrome that many have so infamously suffered from may be officially dead following Texas A&M’s impressive victory over the LSU Tigers.
