Here’s how to watch Saturday evening’s Auburn vs Texas A&M matchup from Jordan-Hare Stadium online.
Remember when Trevor Knight was starting for the Oklahoma Sooners as a sophomore? Those days are long-gone as the grad transfer picked Texas A&M as the destination for his final collegiate season after Baker Mayfield took over in 2015. He has led the Aggies to a 2-0 record, a win over ranked UCLA and a No. 17 ranking to begin the year.
Knight hasn’t been totally accurate, completing just 54 percent of his passes for 583 yards, four touchdowns and two picks. He has added 109 yards and three scores on the ground with a 6.8 yards per carry mark, showing (very) slight flashbacks of Johnny Football in the run game.
To no one’s surprise, elite receiver Christian Kirk has become Knight’s favorite target, catching 13 passes for 164 yards and two touchdowns and could have a huge game against Auburn. The run game, led by Keith Ford, is averaging 240 yards per game.
Auburn lost its opener to Clemson, but surprisingly kept it close with an unproven sophomore quarterback in Sean White. The Tigers lost at home 19-13 but showed signs of progression after a disappointing 2015 campaign.
White has put together a strong start to his first season as the No. 1 guy for the Tigers, completing 61 percent of his throws for 384 yards, three touchdowns and an interception, beating out JUCO transfer John Franklin III and Jeremy Johnson for the job.

Franklin III, however, is pushing for playing time as he will likely be used in the run game. He has rushed the ball just four times for 70 yards, showing just how explosive he can be. Kerryon Johnson leads the ground game with 218 yards and three touchdowns on 5.8 yards per carry.
