LSU football finds itself 0-1 in conference play after a Week 3 loss at Ole Miss. The Tigers showed fight down the stretch but ultimately couldn't pull ahead, falling 32-24 in Lane Kiffin's return to Oxford.
The Tigers face another team that started SEC play 0-1. Texas A&M comes to Baton Rouge on Saturday for a Week 4 matchup. Head coach Mike Elko's team lost 31-21 to unranked Kentucky in College Station. Neither team can afford a loss if it wants to stay in contention for the College Football Playoffs.
Vegas favors LSU early. FanDuel lists the Tigers as 7.5-point favorites against the Aggies. Home-field advantage and their showings so far in 2026 are two major factors. The over/under is set at 53.5 points. Veteran quarterbacks Sam Leavitt and Marcel
Reed lead both offenses. Both are aiming to bounce back after rough Week 3 performances.
Leavitt and the LSU offense took time to settle in against Ole Miss in front of a hostile crowd. The unit outscored the Rebels 14-0 in the third quarter to tie the game. The Tigers cannot afford a slow start against a Texas A&M squad with a mobile quarterback and a chip on its shoulder after an embarrassing loss to the Wildcats.
