The Texas Longhorns beat the Texas A&M Aggies in Week 14
The Texas Longhorns recorded an impressive win over the Texas A&M Aggies in Week 14. The Longhorns won, thanks to inspired play from Arch Manning and running back Quintrevion Wisner. Manning ran for a touchdown to put the Longhorns out of sight, while Wisner had a career-high 186 rushing yards under the bright lights.
The Longhorns recorded the win in front of some famous names watching from the stands. Johnny Manziel, Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Drew Brees and more were in the 100,000+ strong crowd.
Next up for the Longhorns is the SEC Championship game, where they be up against collegiate football powerhouse Georgia Bulldogs. The Bulldogs were the only team that beat the Longhorns in 2024, so there's sure to be extra motivation in Atlanta.
How have the Longhorns performed in 2024?
The Texas Longhorns have endured an almost flawless 2024 college football season. They have enjoyed decent quarterback play from Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning and could be safe picks to make a postseason run.
The Longhorns are playing champagne football under Steve Sarkisian and have had statement wins over the Michigan Wolverines, Oklahoma Sooners, Vanderbilt Commodores, and most recently, the Aggies. However, their loss against the Bulldogs sticks out like a sore thumb in their regular-season record.
The Kirby Smart-coached Bulldogs are the only team to defeat Sarkisian's squad in 2024.
So, don't be surprised if Steve Sarkisian goes all out to overcome their regular-season defeat to the Kirby Smart-coached squad. It's all going down at the latest iteration of the Southeastern Conference Championship Game, set to take place in Atlanta.
