Aggies Hold Off Auburn To Go To 4-0 On the Season: No. 9 Texas A&M vs. Auburn Tigers Live Game Updates

The No. 9 Texas A&M Aggies open up the 2025 conference slate with a hosting of the Auburn Tigers, one of their four regular season losses from the 2024 season after a four-overtime thriller at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

The Aggies currently ride a 3-0 season record, having secured wins against the UTSA Roadrunners, Utah State Aggies, and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, and are fresh off of a bye week after the impressive late win against the Irish that skyrocketed them into the top 10 of the AP rankings.

Auburn is 3-1 on the season with an 0-1 SEC record after taking a 24-17 loss against the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman, a game where quarterback Jackson Arnold did not receive a pleasant welcome back to his old school, being sacked nine times by the Sooner defense.

Texas A&M Holds a Narrow Lead in the All-Time Series

This meeting is the 16th all-time between the Aggies and Tigers, with A&M holding a close 8-7 lead in the series.

Last time the game between the two, it resulted in a 27-10 Texas A&M victory back in 2023, one that saw quarterback Conner Weigman go down with an injury, leading to the short tenure of Max Johnson as the QB1 for A&M before transferring to North Carolina.

The Aggies and Tigers kick off from Kyle Field at 2:30 PM, be sure to follow below for live updates as the action unfolds from College Station.
