Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers return to action on Saturday night in Death Valley with a Top-25 showdown against the No. 3 Texas A&M up next on the schedule.

No. 20 LSU will look to get back on track after falling to the Vanderbilt Commodores in Week 8, but with a matchup against a top-five program in America, the stage is set for another challenge on Saturday night.

"Our guys are certainly in a position to do something great here in Tiger Stadium, that is beat the No. 3 team in the country," Kelly said this week.

"Our focus is squarely on doing that for four quarters, playing the type of football necessary to beat a top three team. Practice yesterday, loved our energy and enthusiasm. Really pleased with the mindset of our team and the opportunity that lies in front of them."

With game day less than 24 hours away, the latest betting lines have been revealed with the Bayou Bengals set to enter the matchup as underdogs.
