College Station, Texas
The No. 6 Texas A&M Aggies showcased a dominant performance on Saturday, defeating the Mississippi State Bulldogs 35-9 during a thrilling “black out” event at Kyle Field. This victory propels the Aggies to a 5-0 record this season, including a perfect 2-0 in SEC conference play, marking their best start since 2016.
Under the guidance of Coach Mike Elko, the Aggies are experiencing a transformation in their football program. This latest win underlines their rising prominence in the collegiate football landscape. Running back Rueben Owens was instrumental in the team’s success, rushing for 142 yards, following an impressive performance from teammate Le’Veon Moss, who had rushed for 139 yards in the previous week’s game.
Although Moss is currently recovering from an injury, he managed to contribute 36 rushing yards to the overall effort, leading to an outstanding total of 299 rushing yards for the game. This showcases the effectiveness of Texas A&M’s SEC-style rushing attack.
In the receiving department, Mario Craver led the way with six receptions for 80 yards and added two carries for 35 yards and a touchdown. KC Concepcion also had a standout performance, catching four passes for 61 yards, including two touchdowns. Quarterback Marcel Reed was efficient, completing eight of his last eleven passes.
The Aggies’ defense delivered a remarkable performance, allowing a season-low nine points against the Bulldogs. Key contributions came from players like Cashius Howell and Daymion Sanford. Howell notably recorded three sacks, bringing his season total to seven, thus leading the team in that category. The defense was relentless, accumulating nine tackles for loss and permitting only 134 total yards and 66 passing yards through the first three quarters. Importantly, Texas A&M’s defense restricted Mississippi State to score their only touchdown late in the game.
However, despite their commanding victory, the Aggies continued to struggle with penalties. They registered nine penalties worth 77 yards throughout the match. Coach Elko humorously suggested starting a “coaches’ Cabo fund,” wherein players would contribute if penalties were committed.
Looking ahead, Texas A&M will face the Florida Gators next week. This matchup will serve as the final game in a streak of three home games to kick off their SEC schedule. Fans are eagerly anticipating the game, hoping to see the Aggies continue their successful run.
