For Auburn, it will mark the team’s fourth night game at Jordan-Hare Stadium this season. Auburn previously had evening games against Mercer in Week 1, San Jose State in Week 2 and LSU in Week 5. The evening kick against Texas A&M will represent Auburn’s final home game in SEC play as well as the team’s second-to-last home game of the season. The Tigers’ home finale will take place a week later against Western Kentucky.
This year’s matchup between the Tigers and Aggies will be the 13th all-time between the two programs. Texas A&M leads the all-time series, 7-5, and has won each of the last two meetings. The series is tied, 5-5, since the Aggies joined the SEC. Over those 10 meetings, the road team has held the advantage. Texas A&M is 4-1 at Jordan-Hare Stadium, while Auburn is 4-1 at Kyle Field during that stretch.
Before the teams square off at Jordan-Hare Stadium on Nov. 12, both teams will try to snap four-game losing streaks this week. Auburn (3-5, 1-4 SEC) will take on Mississippi State on the road. Texas A&M (3-5, 1-4) will host Florida at Kyle Field.
