Texas A&M’s 2025 SEC campaign kicks off with a promising slate of home games, including matchups against Auburn and Mississippi State.
If the Aggies can secure wins on the road against UTSA, Utah State, and Notre Dame, they have a strong chance to start the season 5-0 before facing Florida and QB DJ Lagway at home.
Aggies to Wear Blackout Uniforms Against Mississippi State
In a surprising move, Texas A&M has announced they will wear their popular blackout uniforms for the game against Mississippi State on Saturday, October 4.
The game will be a night matchup, set to start between 5 and 7 p.m. This marks a significant choice, considering Mississippi State is not expected to contend for a top spot in the SEC in 2025 and is predicted to finish in the bottom half of the conference.
The blackout look has become a fan favorite since first being worn during the 2023 season’s showdown with LSU. Last season, head coach Mike Elko opted to save the blackout look for the pivotal LSU game, knowing the postseason implications at stake for both teams.
Despite Mississippi State’s lower expectations for the season, the uniform choice adds some extra flair to what should be an exciting contest.
Mississippi State: An Upset Potential?
While Mississippi State is projected to be a lower-tier SEC team in 2025, they could still surprise with a few wins before heading to College Station. The Aggies should be cautious, as the Bulldogs, although not expected to challenge for the top spots, could pose an upset threat.
The uniform clash also plays a role, as both Texas A&M and Mississippi State wear maroon and white, which can create some confusion for fans.
In last year’s thrilling win over LSU, the Aggies were down 17-7 at halftime before a dramatic second-half comeback led by quarterback Marcel Reed.
Texas A&M outscored LSU 31-6 in the final two quarters to pull off the victory, and fans will hope for another exciting performance as the Aggies face Mississippi State under the lights at Kyle Field.
Aggies’ Road to Success
With a strong start to their 2025 season, Texas A&M could be on track for a successful campaign, but the Mississippi State game is one to watch, with potential for surprises—especially with the added element of the blackout uniforms setting the stage for an electrifying atmosphere.
