The Texas A&M Aggies trailed the LSU Tigers 17-7 at halftime of Saturday’s top-15 SEC matchup at Kyle Field.

The Tigers and quarterback Garrett Nussmeier had a lot of success on the field against the Texas A&M secondary. Nussmeier finished the half 14 of 26 passing for 259 yards and two touchdowns, highlighted by a 76-yard catch-and-run score by receiver Avery Anderson.

The Tigers had five pass plays of 20 yards or more.

In the A&M offense, things were the exact opposite. Conner Weigman went 5 of 14 passing for 49 yards and no touchdowns. Texas A&M running back Le’Veon Moss scored a seven-yard rushing touchdown late in the first quarter.

LSU left points on the board and missed two field goals.

Facing a third-and-15 early in the second quarter, Nussmeier launched a deep shot to Kyren Lacy for a 33-yard gain. He found him back a few plays later on 3rd and 7 to keep the drive going. However, the Aggies defense held firm and forced a field goal, which was missed.

Texas A&M gets the kickoff for the second half.
