COLLEGE STATION, Texas — For the first time since 2011, the No. 3 Texas Longhorns and No. 20 Texas A&M Aggies are set for a Lone Star Showdown at Kyle Field in College Station, renewing one of college football’s best rivalries at 6:30 p.m. Central on ABC.
There’s plenty on the line, too — the winner advances to next weekend’s SEC Championship game in Atlanta in addition to holding bragging rights for a year and the Longhorns are attempting to maintain their positioning in the College Football Playoff rankings on a day that saw Michigan upset Ohio State in Columbus, bolstering the Texas resume while simultaneously warning of the rivalry-game perils for the favorite.
