The Texas A&M Aggies trailed the LSU Tigers 17-7 before halftime of Saturday's Top 15 SEC matchup at Kyle Field.

The Tigers and quarterback Garrett Nussmeier had plenty of success on the field against the Texas A&M secondary. Nussmeier finished the 14th half completing 26 passes for 259 yards and two touchdowns, highlighted by a 76-yard catch-and-run score by receiver Avery Anderson.

The Tigers had five pass plays of 20 yards or more.

The opposite was true for the A&M offense. Conner Weigman completed 5 of 14 passes for 49 yards and no touchdowns. Texas A&M running back Le'Veon Moss scored a seven-yard rushing touchdown at the end of the first quarter.

LSU left points on the board and missed two field goals.

Nussmeier faced a 3rd-and-15 early in the second quarter and shot from deep to Kyren Lacy for a 33-yard gain. He found it again a few plays later on third-and-7 to keep the drive going. However, the Aggies' defense held firm and forced a field goal, which was missed.

Texas A&M gets the kickoff to start the second half.
