BATON ROUGE -- On Senior Night in Tiger Stadium, quarterback Danny Etling, wide receiver DJ Chark and running back Darrel Williams helped the LSU Football team amass 601 yards of total offense in a 45-21 victory over Texas A&M.
No. 19 LSU (9-3, 6-2 SEC) beat Texas A&M (7-5, 4-4 SEC) for the seventh-straight time including all six seasons the Aggies have been in the SEC.
Etling, who transferred from Purdue for his final two seasons of eligibility, was 19-of-30 passing and set career-bests at LSU with 347 yards and three touchdowns. He became the fifth quarterback in LSU history with 2,000 yards in consecutive seasons.
Williams had 12 carries with 106 rushing yards - including a career-long 77-yard run - and scored a touchdown, while Chark led the Tigers with five catchees for 86 yards and a touchdown.
Junior Derrius Guice moved into fifth place on the LSU career rushing list (2,976) with 28 carries for 127 yards and a touchdown.
Meanwhile, the Tigers defense held the high-powered Aggies to 282 yards of total offense including only 55 on the ground.
Linebacker Devin White had 13 tackles and joined defensive backs Donte Jackson and Andraez Williams with interceptions of Texas A&M quarterback Nick Starkel.
Starkel was 16-of-30 passing for 227 yards and two touchdowns. Christan Kirk was his leading target with seven catches for 78 yards and a score.
