AUBURN, Alabama — No. 15 Texas A&M hopes to stay in the College Football Playoff conversation as the Aggies travel to Jordan-Hare Stadium today to face an Auburn team looking to salvage a disappointing season. The primetime SEC matchup will air on ESPN starting at 7:30 p.m. Eastern.
Several streaming services will broadcast the SEC game live and you can watch on Fubo (free trial and $30 off your first month), DirecTV Stream (free trial) or Sling (promotional offers). Dave Flemming and Louis Riddick will have the call.
Texas A&M (8-2, 5-1 SEC) is coming off a 38-3 victory over New Mexico State after South Carolina derailed the Aggies’ path to the 12-team playoff with a blowout win two weeks earlier. Freshman dual-threat quarterback Marcel Reed had his best game so far, accounting for 309 yards of total offense and three touchdowns. The Aggies will also need another big effort from Amari Daniels, who rushed for a 71-yard touchdown scamper in his first game as RB1 after starter Le’Veon Moss suffered a season-ending knee injury against the Gamecocks. But Auburn’s defense, which gives up less than three yards per rush and under 19 points per game, could be a problem.
Auburn (4-6, 1-5 SEC) enters the game determined to avoid its worst season since 2012. Wins against Texas A&M today and Alabama next week will do that and keep the Tigers eligible for a bowl. But the Tigers must get more consistent play from Payton Thorne. The senior quarterback is coming off a five-touchdown performance (including three to freshman wide receiver Cam Coleman) against ULM. But he’s been plagued by turnover problems and has been sacked 23 times this season. For the Tigers to win, they’ll have to control the line of scrimmage. Luckily, they have one of the best running backs in the FBS in Jarquez Hunter. The senior has rushed for 1,015 yards this season (7.0 YPC) and five touchdowns. They’ll face an Aggies defense that, while talented, has been exploited several times this season.
Texas A&M is a slight 2.5-point favorite to win.
