No. 15 Texas A&M is set to face off against New Mexico State on Saturday at Kyle Field in College Station. Texas A&M, with a 7-2 record, will be looking to bounce back from a recent loss to South Carolina and build confidence ahead of matchups with Auburn and No. 3 Texas. Meanwhile, New Mexico State, with a 2-7 record, is looking to turn around a less successful season under coach Tony Sanchez.
Texas A&M will be without junior running back Le’Veon Moss for the rest of the season due to a leg injury. Amari Daniels and EJ Smith will take over in the backfield, facing a New Mexico State defense that has struggled against the run and pass, allowing 37.1 points per game and 245.4 passing yards per game.
On the other side, New Mexico State has struggled with quarterback inconsistency and has found some success on the ground with junior RBs Seth McGowan and Mike Washington. A&M’s defense, led by linebacker Tyler Martinez and defensive end Kale Edwards, will need to tighten up tackling after a tough game against South Carolina.
Overall, Texas A&M is expected to dominate the matchup, with a predicted final score of 52-6 in favor of the Aggies. The game serves as a nonconference tuneup for Texas A&M before facing tougher opponents in the coming weeks.
