What To Watch For
- Saturday will be 'Operation Blackout' inside Kyle Field. This marks the third Blackout game since Mike Elko was named head coach. In the previous two 'Operation Blackout' games, the Aggies defeated No. 8 LSU 38-23 in 2024 and Mississippi State 31-9 in 2025.
- Texas A&M and Tennessee will meet for the sixth time in program history, and the fourth time as SEC foes ... Tennessee leads the all-time series 3-2 but as members of the SEC, the Aggies lead 2-1 ... Saturday's meeting will be the first since 2023 ... Every meeting to this point has featured at least one of the two teams ranked inside the AP Top 25. In those games, the higher ranked team has won four of the five contests, and each of the last four contests.
- Saturday's contest against the Volunteers will be just the second time the two teams have met in College Station. The only other meeting in Kyle Field came on Oct. 8, 2016, a game the Aggies won by a score of 45-38.
- A Texas A&M win on Saturday would... Be the 40th victory of head coach Mike Elko's career ... It would be the first ranked victory for Texas A&M since Nov. 8, 2025 when the Aggies defeated #19 Missouri ... Be the Aggies' third 'Operation Blackout' victory under head coach Mike Elko.
Quick Hits
- Marcel Reed is one passing touchdown shy of 50 in his career. Reed would be just the fourth quarterback in program history with 50+ touchdown passes, joining Kellen Mond (71), Jerrod Johnson (67) and Johnny Manziel (63).
- The Aggies will be playing their fifth game this season against a team currently ranked inside the AP Top 25. Of those five teams, two are ranked in the top 10.
- David Olano connected on 16 consecutive field goals before his first miss of the 2026 season. He became the first Aggie kicker since at least 1986 to make his first 16 field goals of his Texas A&M career ... Olano, who is 16-for-17 in field goals this season, has been the best kicker in the SEC this season. He leads the conference with 16 made field goals and in field goal percentage (94.1%) ... His 16 made field goals is tied for the ninth most makes in the nation, while his 94.1% field goal percentage ranks 4th nationally.
- Rueben Owens II eclipsed the 1,500 career rushing yard mark after rushing for 137 yards at South Carolina.
- Texas A&M's red zone defense has been the best in the country in 2026. The Aggies have allowed points in the red zone just 61.9% of the time this season. On 21 trips, A&M has given up just 11 touchdowns and 2 field goals. It's a major improvement after ranking 128th in 2025 after allowing scores on 91.4% of red zone trips.
