The time to resume the rivalry between the burnt orange and the maroon has arrived.
Texas football faces Texas A&M this Saturday and the stakes are as high as can be. If the Longhorns win, they knock the Aggies out of College Football Playoff contention and will face Georgia in the Southeastern Conference championship game. If Texas A&M wins, they’ll take that spot and put Texas in an interesting situation regarding its playoff resume.
Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers was banged up against Kentucky but he should be good to go for this Saturday’s game. The two teams have not played each other since 2011 and while the current Longhorns may not have a great memory of that game, the Aggies do.
GOLDEN: All that stands in front of Texas football’s Year 1 SEC takeover is A&M, Georgia
Texas A&M left tackle Trey Zuhn III has a family steeped in three generations of maroon tradition. He and his teammates would like nothing more than to make their first SEC championship game at the expense of the hated Longhorns. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian is a fan of college football traditions and understands what’s at stake beyond the teams’ playoff chances.
