A head-to-head series that is tied 2-2 all-time, Texas A&M will travel for the first time this season for a matchup with the Miami Hurricanes in an ACC vs. SEC football showdown. The two teams also previously met during the 2022 season in College Station, a game in which Texas A&M won, 17-9.

In addition to Van Dyke, the Hurricanes had four running backs each see a noteworthy workload in Week 1 in Henry Parrish Jr., Mark Fletcher Jr., Ajay Allen, and Donald Chaney Jr., while Miami’s top pass catchers were Colbie Young, Xavier Restrepo, and Jacolby George.

Miami vs. Texas A&M SEC Football Prediction
When comparing this matchup to last season’s, the Hurricanes and Aggies are likely to score more points this time around in Miami, as both offenses you could argue are improved. As to who wins however, I’ll say that Miami comes away with a close win over Texas A&M on their home field to avenge last seasons loss, with this game one that the Aggies could very easily come away victorious as well. Prediction: Miami 24, Texas A&M 21
