Garrett Nussmeier passed for 237 yards and a touchdown and No. 3 LSU held Louisiana Tech to 154 total yards in a 23-7 victory on Saturday night. Caden Durham rushed for a 3-yard touchdown for LSU (2-0), which was favored by about five touchdowns but didn 't lead by more than 10 points until late in the third quarter. "We're not happy with production across the board," LSU coach Brian Kelly said. "I'm not happy with the performance, but it's a win." LSU's defense did its part, shutting out the Bulldogs (1 -1) until reserve quarterback Blake Baker's 33-yard scoring pass to Devin Gandy with 4:02 left in the game.The Tigers outgained Louisiana Tech by 211 yards and LSU held a large advantage in time of possession, 36:52 to 23:08. Barion Brown caught e ight passes for 94 yards for the Tigers and got a game ball for his effort. Brown, a transfer from Kentucky, "balled out," Kelly said. "That's what we expected from him." Fellow Tigers receiver Aaron Anderson had eight catches for 73 yards. But the Bulld ogs frustrated Nussmeier and Co. on a handful of possessions, forcing a turnover, three punts and four field goal attempts, one of which failed. LSU rushed for 128 yards - and Kelly said "a lack of execution by coaches and players alike" made it tough fo r the Tigers to finish drives and pull away on the scoreboard. - LSU/AP College Football

Reed threw for 220 yards with TD passes of 34, 12 and eigh t yards before leaving with about four minutes left in the third quarter after taking an awkward fall and getting hit by a defender. He walked off the field after being checked out and spent time in the medical tent before jogging to the locker room. The re was no immediate update on his condition. Texas A&M (2-0) led by 1 late in the first quarter before scoring 23 straight points to take a 30-6 lead into halftime. Reed had a 1-yard scoring run and a 12-yard TD pass in that span to help Texas A&M pull a way.Texas A&M's defense dominated in that stretch, led by defensive end Cashius Howell, who sacked Bryson Barnes on three consecutive plays to single-handedly force a punt in the second quarter. It's the first time a player has had sacks on three straight plays since Jack Cichy did it for Wisconsin against Southern California in the 2015 Holiday Bowl, according to research by the Texas A&M communications staff.

He had six receptions for 73 y ards and two touchdowns. His second TD came on an 8-yard catch and extended the lead to 37-14 with about six minutes left in the third quarter. Mario Craver, another transfer in his first year at A&M, had 114 yards receiving and a touchdown after grabbin g two touchdown receptions last week. Backup Miles O'Neill threw for 99 yards, highlighted by a 72-yard touchdown pass after Reed went out. - Texas/AP College Football

Bonds was injured late in the first half of Indiana's ninth straight home win, 27-14, under Cignetti.

Ahmaad Moses returned an interception 95 yards for a touchdown and middle linebacker Alexander Kilgore had a much shorter and stranger pick-6 as 16th-ranked SMU opened the season with a 42-13 win over East Texas A&M on Saturday night. The Mustangs led fo r good after Kevin Jennings' 63-yard TD pass to Romello Brinson on the third play less than a minute into the game. Jennings completed 22 of 30 passes for 260 yards and two TDs, and ran 7 yards for a score. Brinson had seven catches for 121 yards. Moses' big play made it 28-3 after Football Championship Subdivision East Texas A&M got to the SMU 8 on the first drive after halftime. He stepped in front of a pass by Eric Rodriguez and sprinted the length of the field untouched. Kilgore, one of the te am's captains, got hurt on his 10-yard TD return in the first quarter. He was limping when he got up and was on the sideline after halftime on crutches and with a protective boot on his left foot. Will Madonna threw that interception, which first went of f 6-foot-4 defensive end Cameron Robertson while he reached over an offensive lineman. The ball then ricocheted off of Kilgore's foot without hitting the ground. He grabbed it and was tripped up by Madonna as he crossed the goal line. SMU lost top return ing receiver Jordan Hudson to an apparent shoulder injury on a 7-yard catch on the first play of the game. - SMU/AP College Football

Garrett Nussmeier threw a go-ahead 8-yard touchdown pass to Trey'Dez Green in the fourth quarter, and No. 9 LSU rallied past fourth-ranked Clemson 17-10 on Saturday night for its first season-opening win since 2019, when Joe Burrow led the Tigers to an u ndefeated season and a national championship. Nussmeier, who eclipsed 4,000 yards passing in his first year as a starter in 2024 after biding his time behind Jayden Daniels, got better as game went on, throwing for 134 of his 230 yards in the second half while leading two touchdown drives. Caden Durham rushed for 74 yards and a touchdown for LSU. LSU, retooled with a highly touted class of transfers, showed the mental and physical toughness that coach Brian Kelly was seeking after trailing 10-3 at the h alf.LSU's stifling defense limited first-team preseason Associated Press All-America quarterback Cade Klubnik to 19-of-38 passing for 230 yards and an interception. With 4 1/2 minutes left, Clemson got the ball with a chance to tie the game but fa iled to manage a single first down with Klubnik under constant pressure. LSU couldn't capitalize and had to punt the ball back, giving Clemson one more shot with 1:54 remaining. Klubnik got Clemson to the LSU 15 before a hurried pass on fourth-and-4 fell incomplete with a defender in his face. It didn't help that Clemson lost star wide receiver Antonio Williams, a second-team preseason AP All-American, to an injury early in the first quarter. It was expected to be a high-scoring matchup featuring a pair of Heisman Trophy hopefuls at QB and two of the nation's top offenses from a year ago. - AP College Football
