  "account": "Texas A&M football suffered a devastating 35-6 defeat to No. 10 LSU in Baton Rouge, with the Aggies head coach Mike Elko describing the loss as \"the understatement of a lifetime.\" The No. 23-ranked Aggies were outgained in total yards by 506-197 and only scored two David Olano field goals. Quarterback Marcel Reed failed to make an impact, throwing for 106 yards, an interception, and rushing for a mere 13 yards. Reed, who had been praised earlier in the season, struggled again, drawing comparisons to a baseball pitcher who cannot throw a strike. The injury to wide receiver Mario Craver also played a role, as he did not record a catch in the game. The Aggies' defense struggled, allowing LSU to score two touchdowns, with redshirt junior QB Sam Leavitt throwing a crucial 57-yard touchdown pass to redshirt junior WR Jackson Harris.",
