2. Auburn’s defense disrupts the Aggies’ offense

Eugene Asante is one of the top pass rushers on Auburn’s defense. Some think he is the best-kept secret in the SEC. If Donovan Kaufman returns to the lineup this week, expect the pressure to intensify for Texas A&M.

Of course, a key to pulling off the upset will include pressuring Aggie quarterback Conner Weigman, who is off to an impressive start.

Except Auburn’s big guys perform well at the line of scrimmage, allowing a similar result we saw when Miami and Texas A&M played this year.
