COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) – On a night when his attack experienced difficulties, the No. five Texas A
Isaiah Spiller rushed for 141 yards and a landing and Buddy Johnson returned an interception for a 20-7 win at Texas A.
The Aggies led thirteen at half-time and had their only problems after the break on the 15-yard lap through Johnson, a supporter.
“Once I hit the ball, there was no answer other than a touchdown,” Johnson said.

“I think we could have played better,” Spiller said. ” We were a little rusty. “
The Aggies relied on their ground play and forged the defense on a rainy, soaked afternoon when the rain fell and made it difficult to get through. Kellen Mond hit a 105-yard pass at the lowest point of the season in his first game this season without a landing pass. LSU’s 123-pass defensive broke eight of his passes in the first half and ended with 11.
“Our offense was too irregular, it didn’t get a rhythm (but) our team figured out a way to win the game and that’s what’s important,” Coach Jimbo Fisher said.
TJ Finley pitched for 118 yards and had an intercept at the time of the fourth for LSU (3-4) before being sent to the bench by Max Johnson after Buddy Johnson’s Pick-6 in the third quarter.

The Aggies limited LSUs to 36 yards on the floor and allowed two out of 16 conversions in third place.
LSU lost the ball in a clearing kick with about six minutes to play in the third, but the Aggies couldn’t take credit for the mistake when Mond captured in the third to force a kick of clearing.

LSU coach Ed Orgeron took off his and yelled at Finley as he approached the band line after the interception. He then put his hand on Finley’s chest and continued to scream in his face for several seconds before Finley retreated to the bench.
Orgeron asked what he told Finley.
“Shield football only. Don’t throw the ball like that,” he said. It was a first-year mistake, but I asked him to inform me that it’s not acceptable.
Max Johnson, who played in the first half, finished the game and passed for 113 yards and a 3-yard landing pass that put the score 20-7 with less than a minute to play.
“Our attack was incoherent all day,” Orgeron said. “They had a wonderful plan in defense. We don’t fit the plan. We’ve had a wonderful plan in the attack. We couldn’t run the ball. We couldn’t” It wasn’t the quarterback’s fault. He ran to save his life all day, either of us was.
Spiller had a 52-yard touchdown, dragging a defender with him by the two yards, to increase Texas A’s lead
The Tigers gave the impression that they had reduced the advantage to 3 in a long capture of TD through Kayshon Boutte with approximately nine minutes to play in the quarter of a moment, but the piece reviewed and considered an incomplete pass.
The Aggies recovered the ball on the next play when Finley’s pass knocked down and intercepted via Jaylon Jones.
Cade York’s 34-yard basket attempt veered to the left with about 4 minutes to play in the first half to leave a goal for the Tigers.
