Auburn’s football team tackles yet another challenging task as it heads to College Station to face the No. 9 ranked Texas A&M Aggies, a week after a narrow defeat at Oklahoma. Auburn’s recent loss has dropped them from the AP Top 25 poll, but a victory on the road against Texas A&M could potentially restore their ranking and bolster their position in the SEC standings.
Texas A&M presents a formidable opponent, especially playing at home in the electrifying atmosphere of Kyle Field. The Aggies are fresh off a bye week, having regrouped after a tight 41-40 triumph over Notre Dame. Quarterback Marcel Reed has shown marked improvement, contributing to an offense that has posted upwards of 40 points in each of its three games in the 2025 season.
This matchup adds to the history between the two teams with Texas A&M currently leading the series 8-7, including a 4-2 lead in games hosted at College Station. The Aggies boast an offense ranking among the nation’s most balanced and explosive, achieving over 300 passing yards and 150 rushing yards per game. Notably, they’ve registered 22 plays of over 20 yards in just three games, demonstrating their ability to threaten defenses with big plays.
Auburn’s receiving corps has seen standout performances, especially from Cam Coleman, who continues to impress following a stellar rookie year, including a personal milestone with his 10th career touchdown in the game against Oklahoma. Eric Singleton, a transfer from Georgia Tech, maintains a streak of game catches. However, the team will feel the absence of Horatio Fields, the third-leading receiver, sidelined with a foot injury requiring surgery.
Historically, Auburn has struggled to win road games against top-10 opposition, with their last victory being against Ole Miss in 2014. Additionally, they have not defeated any top-10 teams since a win over Ole Miss in 2021. Auburn aims to break this streak in a potentially attainable victory over Texas A&M.
Fans can catch the game on Saturday, September 27, at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPN, with streaming available on Fubo.
The match is set to be an exciting contest, with Texas A&M’s offense looking explosive but also tending to allow points. Auburn, with its capability for offensive shootouts, might push the game score beyond expectations. With the game’s total set at 52.5, a shootout seems likely, providing an engaging spectacle for fans and possibly pushing Auburn toward a vital victory.
