College Station, Texas – The Texas A&M Aggies extended their unbeaten streak to five games with a convincing 31-9 victory over the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Saturday. This win marks the first time since 2016 that the Aggies have commenced a season with five straight wins.
Ranked No. 5 in the AP Poll, Texas A&M is enjoying its highest ranking since 2021 and is among the fifteen NCAA teams that remain undefeated after six weeks of play. Following this recent triumph, the Aggies’ Southeastern Conference (SEC) record improved to 2-0, bolstered by previous victories over Auburn and Mississippi State.
While the first half ended with a narrow lead at 7-3, Texas A&M dominated the second half, scoring 24 points compared to Mississippi State’s mere six. The Aggies solidified their lead with three touchdowns from KC Concepcion, Marcel Reed, and Mario Craver, while Randy Bond secured a 27-yard field goal that contributed to the final score.
Throughout the game, Texas A&M displayed exceptional defensive skills, restricting Mississippi State’s scoring opportunities. The Bulldogs, unable to find their rhythm offensively, managed only a field goal in the first quarter and a touchdown in the fourth quarter after falling into a significant deficit. Mississippi State has now lost 14 consecutive SEC games, with their last victory occurring against Arkansas on October 21, 2023.
In the backdrop of this game, injuries plagued the Bulldogs, culminating in a worrying incident when running back Fluff Bothwell was carted off the field near the end of the match. Meanwhile, Texas A&M has thrived this season, racking up significant wins including a 42-24 victory in their season opener against UTSA and a 44-22 victory versus Utah State. Notably, A&M also faced a formidable challenge in a revenge game against Notre Dame, overcoming a six-point deficit to win with a last-second touchdown.
Mario Craver, who transferred from Mississippi State, has emerged as a standout for Texas A&M, currently leading the SEC in receiving yards. The Aggies showcased a significant time of possession advantage, controlling the ball for 38:17 compared to Mississippi State’s 21:43.
