It was a brutal loss for the Tigers on the road on Saturday night in College Station.
After dominating the first half against Texas A&M, the script completely flipped in the second. The Aggies gashed LSU with the quarterback run game after making a change, and Garrett Nussmeier was harrassed into a pair of sacks and three ugly second-half interceptions as the Tigers fell 38-23.
It shouldn’t be a major surprise that they were the biggest mover in either direction this week in the US LBM Coaches Poll, falling nine spots all the way to No. 16. LSU was jumped by SEC foes Tennessee, Texas A&M and Alabama but is still one of eight ranked conference teams.
Here’s the full coaches poll after Week 9.
