Auburn and Texas A&M enter Saturday’s contest both in desperate need of a win.
Both Auburn and Texas A&M share a 3-6 record, as well as a five-game losing streak. The winner of this game will hold on to bowl hopes for at least one more week, while the loser can guarantee that they will be at home for Christmas and New Year’s.
Although both teams have similar storylines entering the game, it feels as if both teams are going in different directions. The Tigers showed signs of life in last week’s game at Mississippi State by taking the Bulldogs to overtime before ultimately falling on the road. As for Texas A&M, the Aggies have played tough with ranked teams such as Alabama and Ole Miss, but have had challenging times with South Carolina, Mississippi State, and, most recently, Florida.
What’s the real story of Texas A&M’s rough stretch? We have those answers.
