College Station, Texas – The Texas A&M Aggies, currently ranked No. 9 in the nation, are gearing up for their Southeastern Conference (SEC) opener against Auburn, scheduled for Saturday, September 27, 2025, at Kyle Field. With a perfect 3-0 record, the Aggies are striving to improve to 4-0 and assert their dominance early in the season.
In their recent game on September 13, Texas A&M achieved a thrilling victory over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish with a score of 41-40. This win not only marked an end to a frustrating 13-game road loss streak against ranked opponents but also signified the Aggies’ first triumph over an AP Top 25 team since their victory over No. 3 Auburn back in 2014. The deciding drive in the game against Notre Dame was an impressive 13-play series that covered 74 yards, culminating in an 11-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Marcel Reed.
Head coach Mike Elko has noted the importance of fans embracing the team’s success while emphasizing the need to focus on the upcoming challenges. Elko pointed out that, although the Aggies have a strong start, continuous improvement is essential as past victories do not guarantee future success.
Auburn enters this matchup with a 3-1 record, having faced a setback in their last game, losing 24-17 to No. 11 Oklahoma. Auburn’s coach Hugh Freeze expressed the team’s need to bounce back from their recent defeat and learn how to handle adversity effectively. Quarterback Jackson Arnold was significantly pressured in the game against Oklahoma, being sacked nine times, which contributed to the team’s struggles. Over the course of four games, Arnold has faced a total of 15 sacks.
Texas A&M’s offense will look to build on their recent momentum, especially through the contributions of wide receivers Mario Craver and K.C. Concepcion. Craver is currently third in the nation for receiving yards with 443 and leads the Aggies with four touchdown receptions. His outstanding performance against Notre Dame earned him the title of the Associated Press national player of the week, where he achieved career highs with seven catches for 207 yards, including a notable 86-yard touchdown. Concepcion ranks second on the team in receiving yards with 227 and has recorded three touchdowns this season.
Auburn’s roster has taken a hit with the indefinite absence of wide receiver Horatio Fields, who is sidelined due to a foot injury sustained during practice. Fields had been a significant contributor to the Tigers’ receiving corps, ranking third on the team with 106 yards and one touchdown. In his absence, Freeze expects Perry Thompson to emerge as a more prominent target, despite his limited contributions so far this season.
On the defensive side of the ball, Auburn has excelled against the run, allowing just 58.2 rushing yards per game, placing them fifth nationally. Texas A&M’s rushing attack is led by Le’Veon Moss, who has rushed for 168 yards and four touchdowns on 33 carries, complemented by Marcel Reed’s 142 rushing yards and one touchdown.
The upcoming match against Auburn represents an important challenge for Texas A&M as they aim to showcase their intentions for the season and establish themselves firmly in the SEC standings.
