We had a battle in a game with a lot of stakes in it as the winner would go to face the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship Game. The third-ranked Texas Longhorns won on the road 17-7 over the 20th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies. The Longhorns had a true team effort and did great in the first half to just maintain the lead in the second half.
The Longhorns (11-1, 7-1 SEC) now will host the Bulldogs in the championship game in a rematch of an earlier season game. The Aggies (8-4, 5-3) are not going to make the College Football Playoff but they are going to be a tough team to match up with.
Let’s take a closer look at these teams in their Week 14 matchup to see how the game went throughout the fourth quarter.
