College Station, Texas – The Texas A&M Aggies, ranked No. 9 in the nation, triumphed over the Auburn Tigers 16-10 in their Southeastern Conference (SEC) opener on September 27, 2025. This victory marks a significant turnaround for the Aggies after they suffered a narrow defeat to Auburn last season, which saw the Tigers win 43-41 in a six-overtime thriller.

With the win, Texas A&M improved its season record to 4-0, and its first conference win placed them at 1-0 within the SEC. The Aggies entered the matchup with a momentum boost from their previous game where they edged out Notre Dame 41-40, thanks to impressive performances from quarterback Marcel Reed and running back Le’Veon Moss. Auburn, on the other hand, faced the challenge of recovering from a 24-17 loss to Oklahoma and headed into the game with a 1-3 record, marking their third consecutive year starting 0-2 in SEC play.

During the week leading up to the game, Auburn’s head coach Hugh Freeze announced that the team’s wide receiver Horatio Fields would miss the rest of the season due to a broken foot sustained in practice. Fields had contributed 12 receptions for 106 yards and one touchdown in the current season. With Fields out, Auburn’s offense depended heavily on receivers Cam Coleman, Eric Singleton Jr., and Malcolm Simmons.

The 16th matchup between Texas A&M and Auburn resulted in the Aggies extending their series lead to 8-7. The game was held at Kyle Field, with a kickoff time set for 2:30 PM, broadcast on ESPN.

Texas A&M established an early lead, scoring on their opening drive with a one-yard touchdown run from Moss. They continued to apply pressure, culminating in a 13-3 halftime advantage, having dominated the rushing game with 146 yards compared to Auburn’s mere 30. Auburn’s struggles were evident as quarterback Jackson Arnold faced immense pressure, being sacked seven times throughout the contest.

Auburn managed to mount a late-game comeback in the fourth quarter, scoring a rushing touchdown after intercepting Reed. This touchdown narrowed the score to 13-10. However, Texas A&M’s reliable response came through a field goal, extending their lead to 16-10. With time winding down, Auburn failed to capitalize on their final possession, turning the ball over on downs and ensuring the Aggies’ victory.

This latest game further emphasizes Texas A&M’s formidable presence in the SEC and raises questions about Auburn’s performance under pressure, specifically against top-ranked opponents.
