LSU rolled past Texas A&M at Tiger Stadium on Saturday night, but the Tigers lost linebacker Whit Weeks to a fractured leg.
LSU beat Texas A&M 35-6 at Tiger Stadium on Saturday night, Sept. 26, 2026, in a texas a&m vs lsu matchup that knocked the Aggies out of the national rankings. The win improved LSU to 3-1 after a road loss to Ole Miss, while Texas A&M fell out of the Associated Press top 25 following its second defeat of the season.
LSU entered the game ranked No. 10 by Yahoo Sports and ClutchPoints, though ClutchPoints also referred to the team as No. 14 in another report. Texas A&M was ranked No. 23. Head coach Lane Kiffin’s offense produced 500 yards, led by quarterback Sam Leavitt, who threw for two touchdowns and more than 300 yards, with Pro Football Network reporting 312 yards. Leavitt left the game with an injury. Outlets differed on his injury: ClutchPoints reported he suffered a hamstring injury, while Yahoo Sports reported he played through an ankle issue.
The victory was tempered by an injury to LSU linebacker Whit Weeks, who exited early in the third quarter on crutches and wearing a boot. Outlets reported Weeks sustained a fractured right leg, with Roundtable Sports reporting it was a fractured fibula. Kiffin said of the injury, “It Looked Really Bad.” The senior captain previously missed the final five games of 2025 due to an ankle injury. LSU was already playing without safety Dashawn Spears, who is out for the season.
LSU didn’t let Texas A&M find any rhythm on offense, as defensive coordinator Blake Baker stopped quarterback Marcel Reed throughout the night. During the second half, defensive end Princewill Umanmielen sacked Reed while linebacker Davhon Keys closed in. The loss marked the second straight conference defeat for aggie football, following a recent home loss to Kentucky. After the game, Kiffin took aim at his former team, referencing comments that playing LSU was Ole Miss’s Super Bowl.
