Texas A&M (5-1, 3-0 SEC) looks like one of the best teams in the SEC after six weeks of play, as the Aggies are coming off their most impressive performance of the season after dismantling Missouri 41-10 behind 90,000-plus fans inside a packed Kyle Field.
Reaching 3-0 in SEC play, the Aggies are atop the SEC standings above Texas and LSU, who are both 1-0 in conference play. This week, head coach Mike Elko and his team will rest and recuperate during the first of two bye weeks this season before preparing to face Mississippi State (1-4, 0-2 SEC) for a road matchup on Saturday, Oct. 19.
On paper, Mississippi State is the worst team in the SEC. The Bulldogs are currently winless in conference play and coming off a 35-13 loss to Texas before a bye week in Week 6. They are set to face 5th-ranked Georgia on the road this weekend. It doesn’t get any easier for a Bulldogs team struggling on both sides of the ball.
However, while Texas A&M’s five-game winning streak is impressive, three SEC road games remain on the schedule. Mississippi State will likely be prepared to match the Aggie’s physicality in front of the ringing cowbells throughout the night.
The game, set for the 19th, will air on the SEC Network at 3:15 p.m. CT. While the Aggies will be ready to play anytime, avoiding a night game on the road is always a plus.
