Texas A&M Aggies Las Vegas Bowl Betting Online
In the regular season finale, the Texas Longhorns and Texas A&M Aggies renewed their Lonestar Showdown rivalry that had gone dark for 13 years because of conference realignment. An overflow crowd at Texas A&M’s Kyle Field was out for blood and hate. But the prime-time ABC telecast did not live up to the billing as Texas controlled the game and got the win. Texas A&M finished a respectable 8-4 in head coach Mike Elko’s first season on the job, but three losses in the final four games took some shine off the campaign.

The Texas A&M Aggies' dreams of an SEC Championship have come up short. And it could not have been a rougher night for the Aggies. After an immense amount of build-up between two teams that haven't met in over 13 years, the Aggies fell to the Texas Longhorns at Kyle Field.
Things started rough from the beginning for the Aggies, whose first drive was stopped short on a turnover on downs inside Texas territory. And despite stopping the Longhorns on the next drive, the Aggies once again fell short, suffering two consecutive three-and-outs that were answered by a pair of Longhorns touchdowns.
From there, things did not get any better for the Texas A&M offense, which was shut out in the first half at home for the first time in half a decade by the Longhorns' defense. The Aggies got a glimpse of life in the second half thanks to a blocked punt and two Texas turnovers, including a pick-six by Will Lee III.
However, Texas A&M could not mount any offensive attack after that. Its one positive drive ended in a fourth-down stop at the goal line, effectively ending the Aggies' chances.
Offensively, the Longhorns leaned on the run game to finish the Aggies, amassing 240 yards on 50 carries and 458 yards of total offense. The attack was led by Quentrevion Wisner, who finished the game with 33 carries for 186 yards.
Quinn Ewers had a quiet yet efficient night, outside of the two turnovers, completing 17 of 28 passes for 218 yards and a score. Defensively, the Horns were dominant, holding the Aggies to 246 yards of total offense, including just 146 yards through the air from Marcel Reed.

It is forgotten that the Texas A&M Aggies actually have three claimed national championships. But the last one was in 1939. For a program with unlimited resources funded by proud mega rich donors, it has been a source of frustration and embarrassment. The Aggies have 18 conference titles, but their last one was in 1998 as members of the Big 12 Conference.
Texas A&M has always operated in the shadow of the Texas Longhorns. In fact, the Aggies bolted the Big 12 for the SEC to escape the oppressive Longhorns once and for all.
But in the summer of 2021, Texas announced that it would rejoin the Aggies as members of the SEC. While A&M officials and donors were furious about the move, they had little choice.
Texas A&M has out-recruited Texas in recent years based on the SEC brand. Thus, the Aggies have a head start. But now, Texas A&M realizes that the time has come to leap into the nation’s elite contenders with the Texas program ascending on the recruiting trail.
Since 1995, Texas A&M has had only two double-digit win seasons. The Aggies have finished ranked in the top ten only twice in the past 26 years.
The last great era of Texas A&M football was under RC Slocum from 1989 through 1999. Slocum led the Aggies to five double-digit win seasons in that span with three top-eight or better finishes.
In 2012, head coach Kevin Sumlin caught lightning in a bottle and rode Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Johnny Manziel to an 11-2 record and a final ranking of 5th in the nation.
