Cotton Bowl Final Score: LSU Tigers Breeze To Victory Over Texas A&M Aggies, 41-24
The Texas A&M Aggies shot out of the gate in the Cotton Bowl, but it was Les Miles and the LSU Tigers imposing their will down the stretch to cruise to a 41-24 victory in Dallas. The Aggies scored the first 10 points of the game and looked to have LSU on their heels early, but the Tigers responded. A flurry of touchdowns in the second quarter was all it took for the Tigers as they rolled down the stretch.
It was a record-setting performance for LSU wide receiver Terrence Tolliver. His three touchdown catches were the most in Cotton Bowl history, and came as a surprise to anyone that’s watched LSU this year. Know for their running, and a passing game bordering on inept, the Tigers finished with three passing touchdowns in an aerial attack that proved to be quite efficient.
