What happened: No. 21 LSU met No. 6 Texas in a top-25 matchup with postseason positioning at stake. Lane Kiffin converted a fourth-and-1 attempt with 38 seconds remaining in the second quarter to keep a drive alive while holding a four-point advantage.

Why it matters: A victory over sixth-ranked Texas keeps LSU in contention for a College Football Playoff berth entering the final stretch of the season. A defeat would severely damage postseason hopes under Lane Kiffin.

What to watch: LSU looks to protect its narrow lead in the second half to close out the top-10 upset.
