Key Matchups: No. 5 Texas A&M at Tennessee

A&M DT Bobby Brown vs Tennessee OT Trey Smith (6-6, 330)

The last time the Aggies took the field, the Maroon & White's vaunted defensive front was held in check for the better part of three quarters by a physical Auburn offensive line and running back stable. While it's not fair to say Mike Elko's defensive line lost the battle in the trenches over the course of four quarters, that was due mainly to the fact that the Ags choked out the Tigers late.
