BATON ROUGE — LSU football finished its regular season with a 9-3 regular season record for a second consecutive season, taking down Texas A&M 42-30 on Saturday in Tiger Stadium on Saturday.
Here are our grades from LSU’s seventh win in conference play.
Offense: B+

Defense: D-
Against an offense playing with its third-string quarterback and without its top wide receiver, LSU couldn’t get off the field on third down and were bailed out twice on their only two stops in the opening three quarters.
Special teams: B-
LSU’s kick coverage was shaky and Nathan Dibert suffered an injury in the third quarter.
