Texas A&M is getting geared up to take on the Tennessee Volunteers this Saturday in their first game back at Kyle Field since October 17. That's a month-long gap in home games that the Aggies were able to weather last season, but they return from the trip this year without a win.
The Aggies are badly in need of a victory, in other words, but so are the Volunteers, who are looking to get back to the College Football Playoff this season. Here's everything you need to know about how to watch this game between Texas A&M and Tennessee.

Players to watch for Texas A&M
Marcel Reed
This is going to be a decisive moment for Marcel Reed's legacy. Things could hardly be lower right now for this program, and the struggles that Reed had earlier in the year have a lot to do with that. If the Aggies are going to carry momentum into these final two (highly significant) games, it starts here— Reed is operating far better right now than he was the last time the Aggies were in Kyle Field, so let's see if he can keep that up.
Jamarion Morrow
Morrow did not get very many touches against South Carolina, but the Aggies will need his toughness and hard running against his home-state Volunteers. Morrow's skill set is very versatile, which will help a lot against this aggressive and stout Tennessee defense.
Noah Mikhail
The Aggies' no. 0 on defense will have to step up in a big way alongside Ray Coney and Daymion Sanford to stop this running game. The A&M defensive line has begun to round into form in a big way, so it's going to be up to the linebackers to pursue the Tennessee backs aggressively but intelligently.
Players to watch for Tennessee
DeSean Bishop
Bishop is probably the best pure running back in the conference, and the Aggies will have one heck of a task on their hands to stop him. He, along with Missouri's Jamal Roberts, is one of only two players so far this season to break 1,000 yards rushing; A&M contained Roberts for much of their game before a late breakout, and they'll have to do a better job against Bishop.
George MacIntyre
MacIntyre was locked in a battle in the preseason with freshman Faizon Brandon to be the starting QB for the Vols, but after a few starts for the freshman, Heupel eventually put MacIntyre in the game— and he never looked back. He's completing about 2/3 of his passes, but there's a reason this Tennessee team is so reliant on the run game.
Arion Carter
Despite missing the first game of the season, the senior linebacker for the Volunteers is still the team-leading tackler on Rocky Top. He's highly productive and aggressive, and he— along with his running mate, Amare Campbell, at the linebacker spot— will be looking to stifle the Texas A&M run game and rush Marcel Reed into bad decisions.
