Texas A&M sits at 4-5 and 1-5 in SEC play and will return to Kyle Field to host No. 8 Tennessee for the first time since 2016. On Friday, chaos ensued after the FAA grounded thousands of flights due to communication issues, affecting nearly every traveling college football team, including the Volunteers.
However, flights resumed late Friday night, and Tennessee will land in College Station late, meaning the 2:00 p.m. CT kickoff will not be delayed. With a potential crisis averted, Friday night’s latest SEC Availability Report resulted in Aggie fans feeling confused after seeing junior wide receiver Ashton Bethel-Roman listed as out for Saturday’s game after not being on the injury report to start the week.

Due to “personal issues,” Bethel-Roman has not played since the Aggies’ road loss at Missouri, and while it’s fair to speculate, coach Mike Elko has kept any details regarding his absence under wraps. Junior wide receiver Mario Craver remains questionable with a 50% chance to play, while transfer offensive lineman Trovon Baugh is also out for Saturday.
Texas A&M’s offense hasn’t scored a touchdown in three SEC/conference games for the first time since 1971, and while starting quarterback Marcel Reed wasn’t the main reason the Aggies couldn’t finish against Alabama or South Carolina, first-year OC Holmon Wiggins deserves equal blame for his lack of creative play calling.
Texas A&M will host No. 8 Tennessee at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, airing on ESPN.
