Texas A&M is set to host New Mexico State on November 16th, with the Aggies heavily favored to win. The game is scheduled for a 7:45 p.m. ET kickoff, which has raised some concerns among SEC coaches. Texas A&M has been playing a number of night games at their home stadium this season, with first-year coach Mike Elko jokingly referencing Lane Kiffin’s complaints about LSU’s primetime games at Death Valley. Elko suggested a swap with Ole Miss for primetime slots in 2025, a proposal Kiffin seemed open to.
Following a recent upset loss to South Carolina, Texas A&M is looking to rebound against New Mexico State. The team is currently ranked 15th in the College Football Playoff rankings and cannot afford to drop another game. The upcoming game against New Mexico State is crucial for the Aggies as they aim to stay in the playoff race. The team had a bye week to regroup and prepare for their next opponent.
The Texas Longhorns will visit Kyle Field on November 30th, and that game is likely to also be a nighttime kickoff. An official start time for this matchup has not been announced. As Texas A&M looks ahead to their game against their in-state rival, they will need to focus on getting back on track after their loss to South Carolina. The game against the Longhorns will be another test for the Aggies as they strive to finish the season strong.
With the recent string of night games for Texas A&M, Elko has made light of the situation by joking about their scheduling compared to other SEC teams. Kiffin’s response to Elko’s comments indicates a willingness to potentially trade primetime slots with Texas A&M in the future. The banter between the two coaches adds some lightheartedness to the competitive atmosphere of college football as the season progresses.
The Aggies’ upcoming matchup with New Mexico State provides them with an opportunity to bounce back and regain momentum. After a tough loss, Texas A&M will need to refocus and come out strong against their next opponent. As the season enters its final stretch, every game becomes increasingly important in the race for a playoff spot. Texas A&M will need to bring their A-game to maintain their position in the rankings.
