Texas A&M Player Sends Warning to Texas Before Saturday's Game

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Jordan Sigler | Last updated Nov 25, 2024 8:08 PM ET

The Texas Longhorns are set to play the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday for the first time since 2011. The Longhorns won that matchup 27-25 in front of a crowd of 88,645 fans at Kyle Field in College Station.

Texas A&M has since renovated Kyle Field, bringing the stadium's capacity to 102,733 in 2015. It's fair to say the Longhorns will experience something new in the rivalry on Saturday.

Aggies offensive lineman Trey Zuhn III believes the crowd will give his team an advantage on Saturday. The junior left tackle out of Fort Collins, Colorado has plenty of experience playing in front of the 12th Man.

On Monday, Zuhn gave crocodile tears to the visitors from Austin.

"It's going to be the most amazing atmosphere that I've ever experienced," Zuhn said, via video from Blake Munroe of On Texas Football. "So I can't wait for that, and I feel bad for Texas having to play in that. Looking forward to it."

The importance of the game's outcome is not just about the rivalry between Texas and Texas A&M. The winner punches a ticket to play Georgia in the SEC Championship Game on Dec. 7.

A loss would knock the Aggies out of the College Football Playoff conversation.

Texas leads the series 76-37-5. Texas A&M last defeated the Longhorns 24-17 in Austin during the 2010 season.

The Aggies' most previous win over Texas in College Station came in 2007. Texas has a 25-22 record in College Station.
