LSU (5-6, 2-5 SEC) will wrap up the regular season on Saturday night vs. No. 15 Texas A&M (8-3, 4-3 SEC) in Tiger Stadium. Kickoff is set for 6pm CT on ESPN.

The game will be Ed Orgeron's final game in Tiger Stadium and LSU will need a win to become bowl eligible and avoid a losing season.

Texas A&M is a 6.5-point favorite and the over/under is set at 46.5.

Preview, per LSUSports.net:

A win away from becoming bowl eligible, it will also be Senior Night for 19 Tigers with hopes to be sent out the right way with a win. In fact, some history is set to be made, as senior offensive lineman Austin Deculus is on track to play his 60th game in an LSU uniform — the most games played in program history.

“He’s a very hard worker,” said head coach Ed Orgeron of Deculus. “He’s a great player. He’s been there for me. Think about all the great Tigers that have played and he’s played more than any of them. That shows you how tough he is, he was raised right and has great character.”

Freshman receiver Malik Nabers showed how bright the future is at receiver on Saturday against UL-Monroe, posting four receptions for 143 yards and a touchdown. Fellow freshmen Brian Thomas and Jack Bech did, too. Thomas recorded four catches for 61 yards and a touchdown, while Bech had five catches for 46 yards. Quarterback Max Johnson posted a solid outing going 22-of-33 for 319 yards and two touchdowns. Read more.
