AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Texas A&M Aggies have been waiting a long time for a season like this.
Not just for their own rousing success, but also watching nemesis Texas scratch and struggle just for the chance to play in a bowl game.
Beat Texas on Thanksgiving night and the No. 17 Aggies (8-3, 5-2 Big 12) can send the Longhorns to their first losing season since 1997.
Texas A&M running back Cyrus Gray says “it’s our turn” to play the role of favorite and beat the Longhorns. The Aggies have won five games in a row and still have a chance to share the Big 12 South championship.
Texas (5-6, 2-5) must win to become eligible for a bowl game. The Longhorns are already guaranteed a last-place finish in the Big 12 South.
