The stage is set for a thrilling showdown between two of college football's most storied programs as Texas takes on Texas A&M this Friday night. The rivalry, which dates back to 1894, has been renewed after a 13-year hiatus, and the Longhorns are looking to break their losing streak against the Aggies.
As No. 16 Texas looks to bounce back from a 3-5 record in its last eight games, the team will be led by redshirt sophomore quarterback Arch Manning, who is fourth in the SEC in passing yards and tied for third in throwing touchdowns. Meanwhile, the Aggies are undefeated at 11-0 and sit atop the College Football Playoff rankings as No. 3.
Despite being underdogs against the highly-ranked Longhorns, Texas A&M's Mike Elko-led team has been on a tear this season. However, with the Aggies priced at 2.5-point favorites, ESPN Analytics is predicting that Texas takes home the win with a 51.5% chance of success.
For fans watching from home, kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC, featuring Sean McDonough, Greg McElroy, and Molly McGrath as part of the broadcast team. The over/under is currently sitting at 52.5 points per FanDuel Sportsbook betting odds.
This Thanksgiving weekend showdown has all the makings of a classic rivalry matchup, with the winner looking to take a significant step forward in the College Football Playoff picture. Will Texas be able to snap its losing streak against the Aggies, or will Texas A&M's undefeated record continue unscathed?
