Texas A&M will step away from SEC play Saturday when it hosts The Citadel at Kyle Field.
The Aggies have reached the midpoint of the season with a 3-3 record after losing three of their first four conference games. Last week’s 27-6 loss at Missouriraised more questions about an offense that has failed to score a touchdown in two of its last three games.
The Citadel enters the matchup 2-4 and competes at the FCS level as a member of the Southern Conference. Texas A&M owns a significant talent advantage, but Saturday still gives Mike Elko’s team an important opportunity to correct some of its problems before returning to conference play at Alabama.
This will be only the second meeting between the programs and the first in 20 years. Here is a closer
look at the brief history of the Texas A&M-The Citadel series.
