Texas A&M Defeats UTSA 42-24 Season Opener Kyle Field

Texas A&M opened their 2025 season with a strong 42-24 victory over UTSA at Kyle Field in front of 107,521 fans, marking one of the largest crowds in stadium history. Quarterback Marcel Reed led the Aggies with 289 passing yards and four touchdowns, also contributing 39 rushing yards, while transfers KC Concepcion and Mario Craver made significant impacts with multiple touchdowns and key receptions. The Aggies' offense, particularly their passing attack, showcased improved capabilities, with Concepcion scoring on an 80-yard punt return and Craver being the leading receiver. Despite UTSA's Robert Henry Jr. rushing for 177 yards and two touchdowns, Texas A&M's speed and depth, bolstered by transfer additions, proved decisive. The game highlighted Texas A&M's potential as SEC championship contenders, with an upgraded wide receiver corps and evolving quarterback play from Reed. However, the Aggies' defense showed vulnerabilities, giving up notable rushing and passing yards to UTSA, indicating areas needing improvement despite the win.
