College football Week 4: Recaps, highlights, rankings and scores

Why it matters
College football is a major cultural and economic driver in the U.S., and these results significantly impact national rankings and playoff contention.
Midnight is knocking here on the east coast and the night slate is winding down. Here’s how things shook out:
No. 23 Texas A&M was no match for No. 10 LSU in Death Valley. The Tigers steamrolled the Aggies 35-6, despite Trey'Dez Green’s absence and Sam Leavitt’s sidelining injury.
Despite Leavitt’s pain, he managed to go 17-of-23 for 312 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.
Backup QB Landen Clark took over for Leavitt in the second half after the Tigers held a commanding lead. The FCS Elon transfer went 0-5 through the air, but added 41 yards and two scores on the ground.
LSU’s defense had solo tackles from 16 different defenders, holding Texas A&M to just two field goals.
