Jay Johnson and the LSU Tigers hit the road this weekend for a critical Southeastern Conference series against the Texas A&M Aggies in the Lone Star State.

With an original Game 1 start time set for 6:30 p.m. CT in College Station, inclement weather forced both programs to push first pitch back to 8 p.m. CT.

Now, with weather ripping through Texas, Friday's Game 1 has been postponed to Saturday.

Saturday’s first game will begin at 2 p.m. CT, and Saturday’s second game is scheduled to start one hour after the first game has been completed.

Game 3 of the series will be played at 1 p.m. CT Sunday, as originally scheduled.

All of the games are scheduled for nine innings, and they will be broadcast on the LSU Sports Radio Network and streamed on SEC Network +.

Jay Johnson's Thoughts: Aggies Present Tremendous Challenge

“Texas A&M is a very talented team, a team that played for the national championship last year. They have a lot of really good returning players, and we’re very familiar with their roster.

"They’ve beaten a couple of top programs (Tennessee and Arkansas) in SEC road series recently, and they played three really close games last weekend against the team that’s No. 1 right now (Texas). They’re an Omaha-caliber team. This will be a great challenge for us, and we’re excited about it.”

All eyes remain on the Tigers with a doubleheader set to take place on Saturday in College Station.
