Horacio Fields Injury Update | Auburn WR Depth Ahead of Texas A&M 2025 I Auburn Football Podcast
Description
This Auburn vs Texas A&M matchup is set for 2:30 PM on ESPN, and the stage could not be bigger. Auburn heads to Kyle Field for its fifth game of the season while Texas A&M comes off a bye. The Aggies enter as touchdown favorites, but Auburn is gaining momentum after showing fight against Oklahoma.
The big storyline: Horacio Fields’ broken foot in practice. With Fields sidelined, all eyes turn to Perry Thompson, a former top 50 recruit who now has the chance to prove he belongs in the starting lineup. Alongside Cam Coleman, who dominated against Oklahoma, Auburn suddenly has a dangerous duo of wide receivers.
The matchup with Marcel Reed and Texas A&M’s passing attack is another major factor. The Aggies feel confident after moving the ball at will against Notre Dame, but Reed’s 58% completion rate suggests Auburn’s defense can cause problems. Auburn held Oklahoma to just 35 rushing yards, and if that same defensive front shows up, Reed could struggle under pressure.
Meanwhile, quarterback Jackson Arnold has shown flashes but must connect on deep balls to Coleman and Thompson. If he does, Auburn’s offense could be explosive. Texas A&M’s secondary may be stronger than Oklahoma’s, but Auburn’s mix of size and speed creates matchup nightmares.
This game has all the ingredients for drama, and Auburn has a real chance to steal momentum in the SEC West.
