Last year, the Tigers beat the Aggies 13-10. In that game, Auburn outrushed A&M 270-94. Auburn football has done what it needed to do against inferior opponents to begin the Hugh Freeze era on a high note. However this week the real season starts against Texas A&M on Saturday.

Let’s get bold.

3. Auburn football will once again out-rush Texas A&M 

The Aggies allowed 127 yards rushing to ULM last week. Auburn’s running back room, mixed in with Robby Ashford or Payton Thorne, will be the most talented unit that the Aggies have seen to this point, and they will play like it.

If the Tigers want to get their first win in SEC play, they’ll likely need their running backs to put together a performance that mirrors that of Week 1. Every member of Texas A&M’s projected starting defensive line was either rated a four or five-star out of high school, which was not the case against UMass in Week 1.

Heading into Week 4, Auburn leads the SEC with 215 rushing yards per game, 10 yards more than the next SEC program. Expect Auburn to run the ball and control the clock.
