LSU defeated Texas 24-21 in a tightly contested Week 11 college football game. The Tigers, ranked No. 21, secured the win over the No. 6 Longhorns in Baton Rouge. The game featured a back-and-forth battle with both teams trading scores. LSU’s offense, led by quarterback Myles Brennan, managed to outscore Texas in the second half. The final score came after a touchdown by LSU with under two minutes remaining.
Texas, playing without its starting quarterback, struggled to maintain consistency. The Longhorns’ defense held strong in the final minutes, but LSU’s defense forced a key turnover late in the game. The Tigers’ defense also limited Texas to just 18 points. LSU’s victory improves their record to 8-2, while Texas drops to 9-1.
This game marked the first meeting between the two teams since 2019. LSU had previously defeated Texas in 2019 by a score of 31-24. The matchup was highly anticipated due to the rankings and the historical rivalry. Texas had entered the game with a strong season record, but LSU’s defense proved too much to overcome. The result keeps LSU in the College Football Playoff conversation, while Texas remains in contention for a New Year’s Six bowl berth.
