Saturday’s showdown between Texas A&M (2-1) and the visiting Auburn (3-0) Tigers is big, folks, as the SEC opener for both squads is filled with future implications in the wide-open SEC West.
For the Aggies, Saturday’s decisive 47-3 home win over UL Monroe didn’t answer any lingering questions, while the Tigers 45-13 win over Samford showed a versatile performance from quarterback Peyton Thorne (283 yards, 1 TD pass, 123 rushing yards, two TDs).
Due to the importance of the matchup for both programs, it was announced Sunday that SEC Network’s Saturday morning pregame show, SEC Nation, is coming to College Station and will broadcast live from Texas A&M’s Aggie Park before kickoff.
Outside of the regular morning broadcast, The Paul Finebaum Show will also be live from Aggie Park from 2:00-6:00 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 22, while Marty & McGee on Saturday morning from 8:00-9:00 a.m.
After falling to the Tigers 13-10 on the road in what was a miserable game within an even more miserable 2022 season for both programs, revenge is on Jimbo Fisher’s mind behind the arm of ascending quarterback Conner Weigman.
Texas A&M will host the Auburn Tigers at Kyle Field on Saturday, Sept. 23 at 11:00 a.m., where it will air on ESPN.
