Austin, Texas – Auburn Football Falls Short Again, Loses to No. 9 Texas A&M 16-10

Auburn football experienced another setback, falling 16-10 to No. 9 Texas A&M on Saturday, September 27. This defeat marks Auburn’s second consecutive loss and places their overall record at 3-2, while they remain winless in SEC play at 0-2.

The game, held at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas, showcased a fierce defensive effort from Auburn, particularly highlighted by a significant play from linebacker Xavier Atkins. In the fourth quarter, Atkins intercepted a tipped screen pass and returned it for 73 yards, a pivotal moment that led to the Tigers’ only touchdown of the game scored by Jackson Arnold on a 2-yard run.

Post-touchdown, Auburn’s defense demonstrated resilience, making three subsequent stops; however, the offense was unable to capitalize on the momentum. In the final quarter alone, Auburn’s offense faced severe pressure, allowing seven sacks and mustering just one yard of offense. Overall, Auburn’s offensive production was limited to 155 yards throughout the game, and the team failed to convert any of their twelve third-down attempts.

In contrast, Texas A&M managed to maintain control of the game. Running back Le’Veon Moss recorded a career-high 139 rushing yards and a touchdown, contributing to the Aggies’ total of 207 rushing yards. Kicker Randy Bond was also instrumental, scoring field goals of 33, 49, and a decisive 44 yards that capped the scoring at 16-10.

Although Auburn’s special teams avoided any game-changing errors, unlike their previous performance against Oklahoma, the team’s overall performance fell short of expectations. They accumulated ten penalties totaling 69 yards, further hindering their chances of success.

Following this loss, Auburn coaches expressed dissatisfaction with the offensive output, which has been struggling, averaging only 3.5 yards per play in recent matchups. In stark contrast, Texas A&M improved their record to 4-0 overall and 1-0 in SEC play with this victory.

Auburn is next scheduled to host Georgia on October 11, while Texas A&M will face Mississippi State at home next Saturday.
