No. 3 Texas A&M Hosts Samford on Senior Day as CFP Push Continues
Coach Mike Elko is emphasizing a back-to-standard performance after last week’s comeback kept the Aggies unbeaten.
Overview
- Texas A&M enters 10-0 and No. 3 in the CFP rankings, welcoming 1-10 Samford for the first meeting between the programs at Kyle Field.
- The game doubles as Senior Day, with the staff set to honor more than 30 players, though not all honorees are certain to depart.
- Elko said safety Bryce Anderson is not fully back and is expected to redshirt rather than appear in the remaining games.
- The Aggies lead the FBS with 38 sacks, paced by edge rusher Cashius Howell at 11.5 and a national-best 1.15 per game.
- Analysts widely pick A&M to win, a result that is projected to solidify its playoff position and set up next week’s rivalry trip to Texas.
