No. 9 Texas A&M Stifles Auburn 16-10 Behind Moss’s Career Day

The final SEC pregame report ruled out linebacker Scooby Williams minutes before kickoff.

Overview

  • Texas A&M improved to 4-0 for the first time since 2016 with a conference-opening win at Kyle Field.
  • Le’Veon Moss rushed for a career-best 139 yards and a touchdown as the Aggies totaled 207 rushing yards.
  • The Aggies’ defense held Auburn to 176 yards and 0-for-12 on third downs, forcing a string of punts.
  • Xavier Atkins’ 73-yard interception return set up a Tigers touchdown to cut the lead to 13-10 before Randy Bond’s 44-yard field goal and a late fourth-down sack sealed the result.
  • The final availability report ruled Williams out for A&M and also listed Auburn’s Horatio Fields and Durell Robinson as out, and Hugh Freeze criticized his offense at halftime for penalties and poor execution.
