College Station, Texas – Texas A&M football achieved a narrow victory over Auburn on Saturday, winning 16-10 in a tense matchup at Kyle Field. The win improves the Aggies’ record to 4-0 for the first time since 2016.
The Aggies entered the fourth quarter leading 13-3, having held a steady offensive and defensive grip on the game. However, the momentum shifted in the final minutes as Auburn managed to score their only touchdown of the game. A dropped pass by the Aggies turned into an interception return, which gave Auburn possession at the Texas A&M 2-yard line. Auburn’s quarterback, Jackson Arnold, then dashed into the end zone, cutting A&M’s lead to 13-10 with just over ten minutes remaining.
Despite the late score from Auburn, the Texas A&M defense showcased its strength by resisting offensive advances, allowing the Tigers to gain a mere negative-2 yards during the entire fourth quarter. This staunch defensive performance was particularly impressive given that Auburn had outscored the Aggies in that final period.
Auburn struggled to convert offensive opportunities throughout the game, finishing 0-for-12 on third downs and failing on both of their fourth down attempts. In total, they only managed nine first downs, compared to the Aggies’ 21. On the other side, the Aggies dominated the total yardage with 414 yards against Auburn’s 155.
However, Texas A&M’s victory was overshadowed by their own difficulties, as the team committed 13 penalties, amounting to 119 yards. Several of these penalties proved detrimental, including one that nullified a touchdown pass from quarterback Marcel Reed, which could have extended A&M’s lead. Another penalty led to a concerning third-and-30 situation. Additionally, a missed field goal from kicker Randy Bond can be attributed to the setback caused by those penalties.
In terms of individual performances, A&M quarterback Marcel Reed completed 15 of 22 passes for 207 yards but did throw one interception. Running back Le’Veon Moss was a standout for the Aggies, recording 139 rushing yards and one touchdown on 21 carries. Conversely, Auburn’s backfield struggled, mustering only 38 rushing yards on eight attempts. Arnold’s performance for Auburn included 17 completions out of 32 attempts, yielding 124 passing yards, while he was sacked seven times throughout the match.
A&M’s coach expressed frustration regarding the multiple penalties that impacted the overall team performance. The focus will now shift to their next contest against Mississippi State, where Texas A&M aims to continue their strong start to the season.
