Texas A&M vs Auburn Game Preview

Why Texas A&M Will Win

Devon Achane is going off.

There are a slew of issues on both sides of the ball in this hopelessly lost season, but the veteran running back has been a bright spot with 138 yards against Ole Miss followed up by a 122-yard day last week against Florida.

The A&M offense overall hasn’t been all that bad – over 400 yards in each of the last two weeks – and Auburn’s run defense has struggled.

The Tigers are 1-5 against teams that ran for over 130 yards, and they’d be 0-6 if they didn’t catch the epic overtime break against Missouri – a dropped ball for a fumble that would’ve been a game-winning score for the other Tigers.

A&M isn’t going to get too crazy here. Run, keep running, and get to at least 130 yards, however …

Why Auburn Will Win

Running well isn’t guaranteeing anything with the Aggies.

They’re 1-4 when they get close to 130 yards or more, and the one win was saved by an Arkansas missed late field goal.

Auburn has its own running game moving, ripping up Mississippi State for 256 yards and four scores in the overtime loss last week, hitting Ole Miss for over 300 yards, and getting to 180 yards in five games so far, willing two of them.

A slew of parts are making it all happen, and it should all work against a stunningly mediocre Texas A&M defensive front that’s the worst in the SEC allowing 215 yards per game and close to five yards per carry. And you know …

Schedules, Predictions CollegeNFL

What’s Going To Happen

A Cadillac Williams-coached team is going to want to run the ball.

The Tigers ran 46 times last week against Mississippi State, and they’re going to keep on grinding it out with an offense that’s doing a bit more on the ground than Texas A&M is.

As always, the Aggies will try to grind things down a little bit, and Auburn won’t have any issues with that.

Which team will break the gloom for the first time since late September? Auburn will be just a wee bit more effective at home.

Why Texas A&M Will Win

The Auburn defense is struggling.

It’s not bad against the mediocre offenses, and there’s no shame in getting ripped up by Alabama, but Tennessee came up with more yards than the Tide did – 464 yards to 445 – and consistency has been a huge issue.

The run defense is too soft, there isn’t enough of a pass rush, and both of those things lead to Auburn’s biggest issue.

Third down defense.

The 2019 Tigers allowed teams to convert on just 30% of their third down chances. This year? An SEC-worst 54%, allowing 60% conversions or more in five of the eight games.

Texas A&M might not be a high-flying thrill show like Alabama or Florida, but it’s very steady and very solid – it’s fifth in the nation in third down conversions.

Control the clock, use the deliberate style, and own the tempo.

Week 14 College Schedule

Why Auburn Will Win

Bo Nix and the passing game are fine.

There were problems against Alabama, but again, blow off everything that happens against the Tide. More importantly for the sophomore, he has been more accurate, and the passing game has boosted up to 220 yards or more in each of the last five games.

That’s part of the reason why Auburn might be able to beat Texas A&M at its own games and win on third downs.

The Tigers have been consistently solid on the money downs. This all ties into how they can pull this off by being deliberate.

A&M will win the time of possession battle, but it’s not going to be a huge margin. As last week showed against LSU, this isn’t the most dynamic Aggie offense at times. As mediocre as the Auburn D has been at times, can it rise up and pull off something big on Senior Day?

Losing to Bama stinks, but ruining A&M’s season would matter. However …

CFN Experts Picks: College

What’s Going To Happen

Texas A&M’s offense is going to be better than it was in the bad weather against LSU last week.

The Aggie defense has been a killer against the run – it hasn’t allowed more than 90 yards in four of the last five games – and sophomore RB Isaiah Spiller has grown into a star with four 100-yard games in the last five.

Auburn will play well, and this will go down to the wire, but when the Aggies need one last definite drive, they’ll get it with Spiller carrying the way.
