5 key stats to know about No. 14 Texas A&M ahead of its showdown with Mississippi State

No. 14 Texas A&M will travel to Starkville this week for the battle of the maroon and white teams.

Last season’s game in College Station is remembered more for what happened in the days after the game (both schools fired their coach) than the game itself (Texas A&M won 51-10).

A lot has changed for both the Aggies and the Bulldogs. Here are five key stats to know about Texas A&M ahead of Saturday’s game on SEC Network.

That’s how many consecutive games Texas A&M has won since its season-opening loss at home to Notre Dame, 23-13. At more than 100,000 spectators, it was also the largest crowd at Kyle Field this season.

That’s how many sacks Texas A&M’s offensive line has allowed this season. That’s good enough to finish second in the SEC and ninth nationally. The offensive line also only allowed 20 tackles for a loss and is a big reason why the next stat is important.

This is how many rushing yards the Aggies average per game. That average puts them 9th in the country. LeVeon Moss leads the ground attack with 609 rushing yards and six touchdowns this season. Amaria Daniels also has 245 yards and four touchdowns and Marcel Reed has 226 yards and two touchdowns.

That’s how many points the Aggies won against then-No. 9 Missouri two weeks ago. It was the first of three big upsets this Saturday and caused many people to reevaluate their opinion of the Aggies and their chances of reaching the College Football Playoff.

This is the average number of yards opposing offenses gain on the ground against Texas A&M. The Aggies’ defense has been particularly strong in the last four games, with no opponent gaining more than 100 yards and Missouri having just 68 yards in its first loss.
