The Colorado Buffs take on the Texas A&M Aggies on Nov. 7th. Catch the Big 12 showdown exclusively on FCS at 1:30pm ET. Here are a couple of things you need to know before the kickoff.

The Aggies travel to Boulder to look for a win over the Buffs who haven't done so well in the Big 12 this season. Offensively, the Aggies have QB Jared Johnson who is completing almost 60% of his passes and ranks second nationally with a 337.7 yard average. Freshman RB Christine Michael is another key player in the Aggies offense who has rushed 406 yards in 81 carries and RB Cyrus Gray with 448 rushing yards.

Defensively the Aggies struggled against the Texas Tech offense and will probably struggle against the Iowa State Cyclones, but if they can secure their defensive line and keep it consistent then can secure a win against the Buffs.


The Buffs' offense has struggled this season as well, especially QB Cody Hawkins who was demoted to backup quarterback and threw two interceptions out of the 14 they've had this season, in last week's game against Kansas State. However, RB Rodney Steward has rushed 508 yards this season and averages 127 yards a game. Against the Aggies defense, Steward can help the Buffs on the scoreboard.

The Buffs defense has improved as the season has progressed. They started of the season by allowing their opponent to pass through, but with LB Jeff Smart who leads his team in tackles and DE Marquez Herrod, the defensive can save the Buffs from another loss.

Make sure to catch this Big 12 showdown as the Aggies travel to Boulder, exclusively on FCS.
