The No. 2 Texas Longhorns went on the road in a win and you’re in situation against a historic rival, the Texas A&M Aggies, and came away with a decisive, albeit sometimes ugly, win. The Texas defense controlled the game from the opening gun, turning in yet another sub 300-yard game and keeping the A&M offense from finding the end zone. The Horns have given up less than 300 yards in 10 of their 12 contests this year and in seven of their eight SEC games, the only blemish coming in a garbage time-heavy game against the Florida Gators.
