Kyle Field has been home to some incredible performances over the years. Will it add another historic chapter during the 2023 college football season?
247Sports unveiled their projections for the 11 most intimidating home football stadiums next season, and the home domain of Texas A&M cracked the list at No. 11. They are specifically eyeing the October 7 matchup as the Aggies play host to Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide.
A number of SEC behemoths throughout history have fallen victim to the roaring crowd of the Aggie faithful, so it makes sense for Kyle Field to be included in the rankings once more.
Let’s rewind the tape to November 2022, when A&M pulled off arguably the biggest SEC upset of last season in a 38-23 win over the No. 5 LSU Tigers in College Station. It may have happened in the final week of the season, but Jimbo Fisher and the Aggies got their signature win while effectively ending the Tigers’ College Football Playoff hopes.
From Devon Achane’s 37 carries for 211 yards and two touchdowns to Moose Muhammad III’s sensational one-handed touchdown grab, the upset was a sight to behold.
Fast forward back to reality and it’s clear the Crimson Tide will pose a different level of competition when they meet the Aggies in October. Then again, the Maroon and White have seen this movie play out before after notching a thrilling 41-38 win over No. 1 Alabama back in 2021.
The common denominator with the LSU upset? Both feats took place at Kyle Field.
Plenty of questions lie ahead for Aggies football next season, from the status of the starting quarterback to the integration of Bobby Petrino’s offense. But one undisputable fact that remains is that Kyle Field will show up and show out every Saturday afternoon.
