While plenty of exciting matchups take place across the country this Saturday, one of the more interesting will be a Top 25 matchup in College Station, TX when the No. 8 Auburn Tigers face the No. 17 Texas A&M Aggies. The Tigers hold a 4-3 advantage over the Aggies since 2012.

The Aggies (2-1) have already played Clemson and will face-off against Alabama, Georgia, and LSU later in the season. However, they need to focus on the here and now and a potential win against the Auburn Tigers. A win over a Top 10 team on their home turf would keep the Aggies biggest goal this season still on the table. Texas A&M may have beaten Lamar, 62-3, but it still needs to clean up some of its sloppy play. A&M had seven penalties, one lost fumble, and an interception. However, the team had seven different players score a touchdown and quarterback Kellen Mond went 20-for-28 with 317 yards passing and one touchdown.
Auburn (3-0) has already proved itself this season after an impressive 27-21 comeback win over Oregon the first week of the season. The Tigers beat Kent State, 55-16, last week thanks to 467 yards on the ground. Three rushers broke the 100-yard mark, with JaTarvious Whitlow leading the way with 135 yards and two rushing touchdowns. Not only does the running game need to be strong, so does the passing game. Keep an eye on redshirt freshman Bo Nix, who looked like a seasoned QB against Oregon. While Auburn focused on its running game last week, look for Nix to carry the offensive load this week.
