Texas A&M (8-2, 5-1 SEC) will head to Alabama on Friday in preparation for the Week 13 road test against Auburn (4-6, 1-5 SEC). The Aggies enter the weekend in must-win mode, needing a victory to keep their SEC Title and CFP hopes alive before hosting Texas in the regular season finale.
Throughout the week, head coach Mike Elko has vocalized the team’s focus on the task at hand. His Monday slip-up, stating, “We’re focused on Texas. I mean Auburn,” might have made the headlines, but this was simply fodder for the media and rival fanbases.
On paper, Texas A&M is the better team. Still, Auburn’s poor record is mainly based on turnover issues, late-game mishaps, and poor coaching despite fielding a respectable defense and above-average offense with plenty of weapons in the passing game. Star running back Jarquez Hunter is a problem for every defense he faces.
However, the Aggie’s determination and elite pass rush could be enough to leave Jordan-Hare with a win, and a little magic from A&M’s uniform choice could also make an impact.
On Thursday, Texas A&M’s media team revealed that the Aggies are wearing the all-white look, similar to the team’s uniform, during A&M’s 33-20 road win over the Gators in Week 3. Here is the official reveal:
