After 13 years, the biggest in-state rivalry is back on the schedule, with the No. 3 Texas Longhorns traveling to College Station to take on the No. 20 Texas A&M Aggies. This matchup is so much more on the line than just bragging rights, with an appearance in the SEC Championship game on the line and positioning in the College Football Playoffs. The defenses are likely to be highlighted in this matchup, with both teams leaning on that side of the ball for success.
Can the Texas defenders keep Marcel Reed contained? Can the Texas A&M defense make an ailing Quinn Ewers uncomfortable on an injured ankle and affect the offense?
