Week 6 SEC attendance figures: Second-biggest crowd in Kyle Field history
There were just five SEC games played in Week 6 — including a rare Sunday duel — as Hurricane Matthew played havoc with the college football schedule, but weather was hardly an issue in College Station, Texas, where a frenzied crowd of 106,248 packed Kyle Field to watch host Texas A&M outlast Tennessee, 45-38, in double overtime.
It was the second-largest crowd in Kyle Field history.
