In this story:


The undefeated No. 3 Texas A&M Aggies will look to keep both of those adjectives as they host the Samford Bulldogs in their final regular season home game at Kyle Field in 2025.

The Aggies return to their home grounds just one week removed from the biggest comeback in school history, erasing a 30-3 halftime deficit against the South Carolina Gamecocks to take the 31-30 victory.

The Bulldogs are a week removed from a 30-16 loss to the Austin Peay Governors, their 10th loss in what has been an abysmal 2025 season for the team.

Ags vs. Bulldogs

The Aggies come into the game with a perfect 10-0 record, while the Bulldogs are on the opposite end of the spectrum, a 1-10 year putting a dark cloud over their season, their lone win coming mid-October against the Virginia Military Institute.
