LSU Tigers defeat Texas A&M amid significant defensive injuries

The LSU Tigers secured a 35-6 victory over Texas A&M, highlighted by a significant offensive performance from quarterback Sam Leavitt. Leavitt completed 17 of 23 passes for 312 yards and two touchdowns, both caught by Jackson Harris, who recorded 163 receiving yards.

Despite the offensive success, the team faces significant defensive challenges due to injuries. Linebacker Whit Weeks suffered a fractured fibula during the win and is expected to miss extended time.
