The Longhorns knocked their rivals out of the SEC title game and made their case for a College Football Playoff spot Friday night

In the marquee matchup of the night, No. 16 Texas finally put all the pieces together and upset bitter rival and No. 3 Texas A&M in a result that knocked the Aggies out of the SEC title game. The Longhorns kept alive their own College Football Playoff hopes, but they'll need some help to get in the field.

What is Texas A&M's record on the road at Texas? Here's how the Aggies have fared in Austin, Texas, against the Longhorns:

The Lone Star Showdown. The pinnacle rivalry game in Texas, between both flagship programs of the state. Both programs entered the season with expectations, but the Aggies are the ones who are the top team. However, I expect the Longhorns to walk away with this one; it will be the Arch Manning legacy game.

Play-by-play action for the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders vs. New Mexico State Aggies NCAAF game from November 29, 2025 on ESPN.

Texas A&M had fours straight punts to begin the half including three three-and-outs. The run game found some traction on the last possession of the third quarter, with four gains of 4-plus yards but that ended in a punt as well. The Aggies went the entire third quarter without completing a pass of longer than 5 yards.
