KEY MATCHUP

Texas A&M's pass rush against Auburn's offensive line. The Aggies have racked up 30 sacks, led by freshman Myles Garrett with 11. That breaks Jadeveon Clowney's SEC freshman record. Auburn has allowed a league-low six sacks, partly because QB Nick Marshall is so elusive behind a veteran line.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Texas A&M: Freshman QB Kyle Allen is making his first start either in a league game or on the road and it's his show with Kenny Hill suspended. Allen passed for just 106 yards against Louisiana-Monroe in his starting debut but still became the first Aggies freshman quarterback to win his starting debut since 1992. He faces a defense that has given up 757 passing yards in the past two games. The Tigers shut down LSU freshman Brandon Harris in a similar situation earlier this season. Auburn: RB Cameron Artis-Payne is the SEC's leading rusher and has gained 310 yards in the past two games against South Carolina and Mississippi. Texas A&M is 12th in the SEC in rush defense, giving up 177.8 yards per game on the ground and 15 rushing touchdowns.
