    Game updates, live scores in college football

    Heading into the final weekend of October, there are only two SEC football teams left with undefeated conference records.

    On Saturday they happen to play against each other.

    In perhaps the standout game on Week 9’s crowded slate, No. 7 LSU will visit No. 14 Texas A&M at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas, in a matchup with significant conference title and College Football Playoff implications.

    Each team enters the contest with a loss, but both occurred in non-conference play – LSU vs. USC and Texas A&M vs. No. 11 Notre Dame, both in Week 1 – meaning both the Tigers and Aggies remain in one are in an enviable position to travel to Atlanta for the SEC Championship game in early December.

    While LSU’s offense has been explosive with quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, it is the Tigers’ defense that has shown noticeable improvement under first-year defensive coordinator Blake Baker. LSU is allowing 20.6 points per game in its first seven contests after allowing 28 points per game last season.

    Texas A&M, meanwhile, has put the disappointment of the Jimbo Fisher era behind first-year head coach Mike Elko, posting a 6-1 record more than halfway through the regular season. If the Aggies manage to get past LSU, they will have to play unranked opponents in the next three games before the highly anticipated season finale against arch-rival Texas, which they have not played since 2011.

    The Tigers have dominated the series for much of the past 15 years, picking up 10 wins in 13 meetings since 2011. The series has shown the potential for chaos, like in 2018, when Texas A&M beat LSU 74-72 in seven overtimes, a game that…prompted the NCAA to make changes to overtime rules.

    As the Tigers and Aggies square off Saturday night, follow here for live scoring, updates, highlights and more:

    Aggies players gather near midfield at Kyle Field about two hours before the scheduled kickoff against LSU.

    LSU and Texas A&M unveil uniforms

    There will be quite a contrast of colors in College Station on Saturday night. Host Texas A&M is going with an all-black alternate uniform, complete with black helmets and the words “Aggies.” LSU, meanwhile, will wear white helmets, a departure from their traditional yellow helmets.

    ESPN’s “College GameDay” team makes its picks for LSU vs. Texas A&M

    ESPN’s five-judge panel on “College GameDay” was almost evenly split in predicting the winner of the LSU-Texas A&M matchup.

    Nick Saban, Pat McAfee and Desmond Howard chose the Tigers, while Lee Corso and prominent guest player Kyle Schwarber chose the Aggies. Kirk Herbstreit declined to be selected because he is calling the game tonight as an analyst for ABC.

    LSU vs Texas A&M Predictions

    Cory Diaz, Lafayette Daily Advertiser: LSU 29, Texas A&M 25

    “Both teams will lead by more than one possession in this even game, but the Tigers will put together another drive late to destroy the Aggies in their place.”

    Tony Catalina, Austin American-Statesman: Texas A&M 27, LSU 24

    “Given the emotions surrounding this matchup, the home field advantage and the way the Aggies have come together, A&M will find a way to put together another thriller against their rival.”

    Bill Bender, The Sporting News: LSU 31, Texas A&M 28

    “Texas A&M has been on the rise since its season-opening loss to Notre Dame. Garrett Nussmeier needs to be more efficient and avoid turnovers, and Caden Durham — who had 101 yards and three touchdowns in Week 8 — needs to generate a running game for the Tigers. The home team has won the last seven meetings in the series, but this LSU team is capable of winning on the road.“
