What You Need to Know:

- Texas is 10-1 (6-1) with their only loss being Georgia at home.
- Quinn Ewers was noticeably hobbled during the Kentucky game this past Saturday. His status will be worth monitoring this week.

- The over/under is 48.5.
Historical Notes:
- Texas leads the all time series 76-37-5, but the Aggies lead it 19-18 since 1975.
- Famous Texas alumni include Earl Campbell, Vince Young, Kevin Durant, Michael Dell, and famous driver of Lincolns, Matthew McConaughey.
What To Watch For:
- Rivalry renewed. Everyone and their mother has been talking about this game since it was announced back in 2021 that Texas and OU would join the SEC. Emotions will run high, but can each team keep those emotions in check?
- War in the trenches. The Longhorn offensive line is a semi-finalist for the Joe Moore Award and their edges provide an excellent pass rush. Can an Aggie defensive line loaded with talent return to form?
- Winner goes to Atlanta. Even with the extremely disappointing loss to Auburn last weekend, chaos elsewhere has turned the Lone Star Showdown into a play-in game for the SEC Championship. The winner this Saturday will face off against Georgia the following weekend.
