Mississippi State at Texas A&M: Score, live updates of SEC matchup as Aggies attempt to stay unbeaten
originally appeared on The Sporting News
Texas A&M turned in a perfect September.
Now, the Aggies attempt to repeat that feat as the calendar shifts into October. They have a second straight SEC game at Kyle Field on Saturday night as A&M welcomes in a vastly improved Mississippi State squad.
A&M – ranked No. 6 in the latest Associated Press poll – comes in at (4-0, 1-0), having won its SEC opener last week by holding off Auburn. Mississippi State, 2-10 a season ago, already has doubled that win total, and the Bulldogs (4-1, 0-1) nearly picked up another win before falling at home last week to Tennessee in overtime.
But the Bulldogs can definitely bounce back on Saturday by upending A&M. Can the Aggies hold them off?

MISSISSIPPI STATE 3, TEXAS A&M 0 2ND QTR.
SECOND QUARTER
– Third-and-short and Nate Boerkircher, the hero of the Notre Dame win a few weeks ago, takes a handoff and plows forward. First-and-goal A&M at the 2.
– KC Concepcion with an end-around on a first down, and A&M is now inside the 10.
– A&M is revived by the late hit, and the Aggies now have a first down at the MSU 25.
– MSU chases Reed out of bounds short of a first down, but the Bulldogs are flagged for a late hit, giving A&M an automatic first down. Is that the break the Aggies are looking for?
– A&M had 61 yards of total offense in the opening quarter.
FIRST QUARTER
– A&M faces a third-and-6 as the first quarter comes to an end.
– MSU goes three-and-out and punts. The Bulldogs get a 61-yard kick, flipping the field, and A&M starts deep in its own territory late in the first.
– Third-and-long for A&M, Reed misfires and the Aggies will kick it away.
– FIELD GOAL MISSISSIPPI STATE. Bulldogs get to the 1, but the penalty proves costly as Blake Shapen throws an incomplete pass on third-and-goal. Kyle Ferrie comes on to kick a 24-yard field goal, finishing off a 15-play, 83-yard drive. (Mississippi State, 3-0 | 4:21, 1st)
– Third-and-goal at the 1, but MSU just got flagged for a false start.
– MSU knocking on the door, and the Bulldogs are inside the A&M 5.
– Third and long, Reed gets pressured and he scrambles to look for a receiver, but a pass goes incomplete. Aggies will punt it away. MSU has the ball just past its own 10 as we take a time out nearly five minutes in.
– Le’Veon Moss converts a first down, and then KC Concepcion runs a reverse 16 yards for another Aggie first down. Aggies out near midfield.
– A nice run on the first play was erased with another holding penalty, backing A&M up to its 8, but gets a bit of breathing room with a pass from Marcel Reed to KC Concepcion, setting up a second-and-short.
– Following a holding penalty on the punt return, A&M begins its first series at its own 15-yard line.
– MSU QB Blake Shapen sacked twice on the opening drive, and the Bulldogs punt it away. KC Concepcion with a short return, and the Aggies will have the ball for the first time tonight.
– Texas A&M will kick off to start the game.
