Jimbo Fisher’s Texas A&M Aggies looked impressive as they took down the Auburn Tigers at Kyle Field Saturday.
The Texas A&M Aggies should be incredibly happy with how their defense performed against the Auburn Tigers in Week 10 on Saturday. The Aggies, thanks to a phenomenal defensive effort, were able to go out and pummel the Tigers, 20-3.
And that’s huge for Jimbo Fisher and A&M’s theoretical chances to win the SEC West.
The Tigers were totally unable to get any sort of offense generated as Bo Nix and company struggled to get the ball moving. Auburn was only able to get three points and 226 yards. That’s not enough to win in the SEC.

226 total yards will be the fewest Auburn has had against a divisional opponent since it had 225 against Arkansas (in a bizarre 34-3 win) in 2018

gotta go back to the 2016 Iron Bowl for the last time the Auburn offense has had this bad of a day in a divisional loss
Things might get a little hectic in the SEC West as Texas A&M still technically has a shot to make it to the SEC championship game if Alabama ends up falling short at some point.
Hats off the A&M’s defense. Pushed Auburn around all day especially on early downs.

Harsin playing with less talented personnel but you see Auburn fighting.
West is still wild!
It’ll be fascinating to see how it all plays out. Texas A&M’s monumental upset win over Alabama might have even more of an impact than anyone could have foreseen.
