Tennessee Sets 3 p.m. Kickoff for Texas A&M Game

Tennessee’s game at Texas A&M will begin at 3 p.m. ET on November 14, at Kyle Field in College Station. ESPN will televise the contest; kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. local time.

The Volunteers enter at 7–2 overall and 4–2 in SEC play after beating Kentucky 34–6. Their defense forced three turnovers and limited Kentucky to two field goals. Linebacker Arion Carter had 13 tackles, four for loss and two sacks.

The Aggies hold a 4–5 record overall and stand 1–5 in the conference after losing 17–9 at South Carolina. They were ahead 9–7 entering the fourth quarter but allowed the game’s final 10 points. They are 4–1 at home, and four of their five defeats came away from home.

Quarterback Marcel Reed threw for a season-best 251 yards against South Carolina, and running back Rueben Owens II rushed for a season-high 137 yards, including two runs of at least 40 yards. Carter said Tennessee welcomes facing strong SEC opponents and stressed the importance of maintaining a steady pace and avoiding mistakes.

Tennessee leads the series 3–2 and won the latest meeting, 20–13, in Knoxville in 2023. The Volunteers have not played at Kyle Field since 2016. After the Texas A&M game, Tennessee has a home matchup with LSU and a road game at Vanderbilt remaining in conference play.
