Following LSU’s 38-23 loss to Texas A&M on Saturday night, fans criticized head coach Brian Kelly and starting quarterback Garrett Nussmeier for the No. 1 loss. 8 Tigers against the No. 14 Aggies at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas.

Both teams entered Saturday’s game with one loss, but after LSU’s loss they fell to 6-2 while Texas A&M improved to 7-1 for their seventh straight win.

Leading 17-7 at halftime, the Tigers managed just one touchdown in the second half, while the Aggies were able to score 31 points after the break.

Nussmeier completed 25 of 50 passes for 405 yards, threw three interceptions, two passing touchdowns and added one rushing touchdown. Wide receiver Aaron Anderson contributed 126 yards on three receptions, including one touchdown.

On the other side of the ball, Aggies quarterback Marcel Reed replaced Conner Weigman in the third quarter, completing 2-of-2 passes for 70 yards with no interceptions, and adding 62 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Weigman left the game completing 6 of 18 passes for 64 yards.

Now in his third year at LSU after a 12-year tenure at Notre Dame, Kelly has left Tigers fans unimpressed by his struggles to perform in prime-time moments.
