Prior to kickoff of Saturday’s game at Kyle Field, things started to get chippy between LSU and Texas A&M. The two teams exchanged words during a pregame scuffle.

It’s unclear what led to the exchange, which occurred just over an hour before the two Top-15 teams kick off. The players were separated, though, as they continued to go through warmups.

LSU and Texas A&M enter Saturday’s game with undefeated records in SEC play, adding to the magnitude of the matchup. It’s shaping up to be one of the biggest games of the Week 9 slate – and it’s safe to say both teams will be ready to go.

Both LSU and Texas A&M have been rolling since their respective Week 1 losses. The Tigers fell to USC to start the year but is now in the midst of a six-game winning streak, including a 34-10 victory over Arkansas last week to stay in the Top 10 of the AP Top 25.

As for the Aggies, they’ve bounced back well despite some changes at quarterback following the Week 1 loss to Notre Dame. Conner Weigman suffered a shoulder injury in that game and although he played through it, missed time as Marcel Reed jumped under center. But Weigman is back healthy now and started the last two games for Texas A&M, which also brings a 6-1 record into Saturday’s game and a perfect 4-0 mark in SEC play.

Saturday night’s game will also put strength on strength as LSU and Texas A&M square off. The Tigers possess one of the nation’s most potent passing attacks, entering Week 9 ranked No. 8 in the nation with 322.4 yards per game in the air. The Aggies’ defense will be tested and enter Saturday’s matchup allowing 208 passing yards on average, which ranks No. 8 in the SEC.
