The Texas Longhorns battle the Texas A&M Aggies to try to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive. AUSTIN - The Texas Longhorns have a chance to do something special on Friday night.

TEXAS: Manning found Parker Livingstone for 19 yards, and Wisner gave Texas another fresh set of downs. After that, Manning found Endries wide open, and he rumbled forward for a massive 54-yard gain down to the A&M 2-yard line. That was the final play of the quarter.

For the first time since 2010, Texas football welcomed Lone Star Showdown rival Texas A&M to Royal-Memorial Stadium in Austin, and the Longhorns handed the Aggies their first loss of the season.

Texas A&M suffered its first loss of the season last night in Austin in what proved to be a roller-coaster outing for Mike Elko’s squad. There’s still plenty of football left and every major goal remains within reach,

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.

Yesterday’s win marked the ninth victory of the season for a Longhorns team that is legitimately staking a claim for a spot in the upcoming Playoffs. Leading the charge for this claim was their own coach, in postgame remarks.
