Aggies vs. Aggies: No. 15 Texas A&M Reigns Supreme
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — In a battle of the Aggies, the nationally-ranked Texas A&M Aggies (No. 15) asserted their dominance with a commanding performance against the New Mexico State Aggies, earning a decisive 38-10 victory Saturday night at Kyle Field. The Southeastern Conference powerhouse continued its strong season, improving to 7-2 overall and 4-1 in conference play.
From the opening kickoff, Texas A&M made it clear who would be in control. Quarterback Conner Weigman delivered another solid performance, throwing for 278 yards and three touchdowns. His connection with wide receiver Evan Stewart proved lethal, as Stewart pulled in 7 receptions for 115 yards and a score. The offense struck quickly and often, building a 21-3 lead by halftime.
Texas A&M’s defense, one of the stingiest in the SEC, lived up to its billing by holding New Mexico State to just 225 total yards. Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper led the way with 9 tackles, 2 sacks, and a forced fumble that halted a promising New Mexico State drive in the third quarter. The defensive front consistently pressured quarterback Diego Pavia, who was limited to just 124 passing yards and one late touchdown.
“They’re a physical team,” Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko said postgame. “But I’m proud of the way our guys responded. We played disciplined football and executed in all three phases.”
Despite the loss, New Mexico State showed resilience. Running back Star Thomas managed 67 hard-earned rushing yards against a tough front seven. Head coach Jerry Kill praised his team’s fight. “It wasn’t the outcome we wanted, but we came in here and played against one of the best. There’s a lot to learn and build on.”
The win boosts Texas A&M’s postseason hopes as they head into the final stretch of the SEC schedule. With tough matchups looming, including a rivalry game against LSU, the Aggies know consistency will be key.
“This was about setting the tone for November,” Weigman said. “We know what’s ahead of us, and we’re hungry.”
With the victory, Texas A&M moves one step closer to a potential New Year’s Six bowl berth, while New Mexico State returns to Conference USA play with valuable experience under its belt.
In a clash of Aggies, it was the SEC squad that left no doubt — Texas Tech supreme
