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.
