College Station, TX — The No. 9 Texas A&M Aggies are set to face the Auburn Tigers in their Southeastern Conference (SEC) opener on Saturday at 2:30 PM on ESPN, boasting a perfect 3-0 record for the 2025 season. The Aggies have claimed victory in each of their previous matchups, defeating the UTSA Roadrunners, Utah State Aggies, and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
Key to the Aggies’ offensive success has been quarterback Marcel Reed, who has demonstrated impressive playmaking ability thus far. Running back Le’Veon Moss has also had standout performances, particularly with a hat trick of rushing touchdowns against Notre Dame. The Aggies’ receiving corps has seen a significant boost from star transfer wide receivers Mario Craver and KC Concepcion, who have both adapted well to the team.
On defense, Texas A&M relies on a unit known as the “Wrecking Crew.” However, the team is currently monitoring the status of linebacker Scooby Williams, who was initially listed as questionable for the Auburn game due to an ankle injury. Williams, who intercepted a pass from CJ Carr against Notre Dame before exiting the game, is now deemed a game-time decision. Fortunately, the injury is not expected to be severe, and Williams has a history of resilience, having played through a torn meniscus last season.
As Texas A&M prepares for their conference opener, Auburn is facing challenges of its own. The Tigers recently lost wide receiver Horatio Fields to a broken foot sustained during practice, ruling him out for the remainder of the season. Fields had registered 12 catches for 106 yards and one touchdown in his first season after transferring from Wake Forest. Additionally, Auburn has already played one conference game this season, falling 24-17 to Oklahoma.
Statistically, the Aggies have emerged as one of the strongest offenses in the nation, ranking among the top nine teams for average passing yards (over 300) and rushing yards (over 150) per game. In their initial three games, they have completed 22 plays of 20 or more yards, hinting at their ability to make explosive plays.
The upcoming game will mark the 16th meeting between Texas A&M and Auburn, continuing a rivalry that has existed for 14 consecutive years. The Aggies currently lead the all-time series 8-7 and hold a 4-2 advantage in matchups played in College Station. Auburn, meanwhile, is struggling to find success on the road against top-10 teams and has not won such a game since November 2014.
As both teams prepare for battle, the stakes are high for Texas A&M as they look to maintain their undefeated record and solidify their position as a contender in the SEC. Meanwhile, Auburn will be eager to rebound from their previous loss and prove competitive against a ranked opponent.
