After their open date last Saturday, Texas A&M gets back to business this afternoon, hosting Auburn (3-1) at Kyle Field. The game kicks off around 2:30 PM and will be televised on ESPN.
The Aggies are 3-0 after pulling out a last-minute win at Notre Dame, and Auburn is 3-1 after losing their fourth game 24-17 at Oklahoma. The Aggies are favored today by 6.5 points, but Auburn is almost always a tough opponent for them, which should be true again today. College Football News predicted the final score will be an A&M win (30-23), assuming Marcel Reed can shine in the passing game, and the Aggie defense can limit the Auburn running backs.
Update @ 6:24 PM Saturday: Texas A&M was leading on the scoreboard most of the game, but the Aggies kept Auburn close with sloppy penalties that helped Auburn and hurt themselves. In the fourth quarter, Marcel Reed threw an interception that was returned over 70 yards and gave Auburn an easy two-yard TD run. For most of the 4th quarter, it seemed like A&M was going to blow a conference win with their mistakes. Things were satisfactory at the end with A&M clinging to a 16-10 lead and finishing with a 4-0 season record.
