Bryan-College Station, Texas

The Utah State football team is set to face off against the No. 19 ranked Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday, September 6, 2025. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:45 a.m. Mountain Time at Kyle Field, known for its large capacity and vibrant atmosphere. This high-stakes matchup marks only the second meeting between the two teams, with the previous encounter in 2009 resulting in a 38-30 loss for Utah State.

Texas A&M enters the game following a strong season opener, where they secured a 42-24 victory over the University of Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners. In contrast, Utah State is looking to enhance its historical record against AP Top 25 teams, which currently stands at 6-70. The team also has a dismal 3-55 record when playing away against ranked opponents. Their last victory against a ranked team was achieved in 2021 during the Mountain West Championship Game, when they defeated No. 19 San Diego State with a score of 46-13.

Historically, Utah State has struggled against teams from the Southeastern Conference (SEC), holding a record of 2-25 against them. Their most recent victory in this context dates back to a 1972 forfeit by Oklahoma, with their last on-field win against an SEC team occurring in 1970 during a 35-6 triumph over Kentucky. The team’s prior encounter with an SEC opponent ended in disappointment, as they suffered a 55-0 defeat against Alabama in 2022.

Fans may remember the standout performances from the last matchup between Utah State and Texas A&M, when quarterback Diondre Borel threw for 334 yards, completed 24 of 47 passes, and rushed for two touchdowns. Running back Robert Turbin recorded impressive back-to-back 100-yard rushing games during that game, further solidifying the competitive spirit of Utah State’s team.

This time around, Utah State will rely on the talent of their current quarterback, Bryson Barnes. Coaches from Texas A&M, led by Mike Elko, have acknowledged Barnes’s skills, as well as the capabilities of Utah State’s running backs, Javen Jacobs and Miles Davis, who are both notable transfers earning recognition on the team. Veteran tight end Broc Lane is also considered an important asset for their offensive strategy.

Utah State head coach Bronco Mendenhall is entering his first season, having revamped the roster significantly, integrating a total of 70 new players, primarily via transfers. This transition places Utah State in a challenging position, as adapting to a new system and new players poses difficulties for both the coaching staff and the team itself. Coach Elko has remarked on the importance of addressing these changes while preparing for this critical matchup.

The game will be televised live on the SEC Network, with additional radio coverage available through KSL Sports Zone, allowing fans to keep updated on the thrilling encounter between these two teams.
