Texas A&M football dropped their season finale to LSU on Saturday night. Was it the last game Kevin Sumlin will ever coach for the Aggies?
The news broke earlier in the week that Texas A&M football head coach Kevin Sumlin would be fired following the Aggies’ regular season finale against LSU, regardless the outcome. His players were vocal during the week concerning their support of their head coach and were expected to come out angry.
LSU, after dropping a head-scratcher to Troy on Homecoming night, has been perfect outside of a loss to Alabama. The Tigers had a trip to a Florida bowl on the line and have the chance to take charge of the longest winning streaks in the conference thanks to Alabama’s loss to Auburn in the Iron Bowl.
When the whistle blew Kevin Sumlin’s team came out flat. The Aggies fell behind 20-0 in the first half and watched the Tigers miss two field goals. Texas A&M rallied to cut the deficit down to six points twice in the second half, but every time the Tigers were able to answer. In the end LSU beat Texas A&M for the sixth consecutive time in SEC play.
Here are three takeaways from Texas A&M’s loss to LSU in Week 13.
