Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning warms up before a game against the Texas A&M Aggies at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium on Nov 28, 2025 in Austin, Texas.

Texas and Texas A&M close down the Black Friday slate of college football games with the latest edition of the Lone Star Showdown rivalry.

And if a rivalry game needed any higher stakes added to it, the third-ranked Aggies find themselves one game away from punching a ticket to the SEC championship game.

It's something that Arch Manning and No. 16 Texas will look to play spoiler to at a 7:30 p.m. ET on Friday, Nov. 28 when the Longhorns welcome the Aggies to DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium for a top-20 matchup in Austin, Texas.

To make the SEC championship game, Texas A&M has one path remaining: beat Texas. The Aggies entered the day with a second path that would have required help from Mississippi State and Auburn, but with Ole Miss beating the Bulldogs in the Egg Bowl, that path no longer exists.

Texas lost its path to Atlanta following a Week 12 loss to Georgia on the road. However, a win against the Aggies, who were ranked No. 3 in the latest CFP top 25 rankings, would go a long way in the CFP selection committee's eyes when finalizing the final top 25 and give Steve Sarkisian's squad a better bowl game, depending on their ranking.

This section has been updated with new information

First quarter: Texas 0, Texas A&M 0

Texas punts after controversial no-call

Arch Manning tries to go down the field on third-and-9 but his throw to Ryan Wingo is broken up by a pair of Texas A&M defenders. The home fans in Austin, along with ABC broadcasters Sean McDonough and Greg McElroy, were not thrilled that there was not a flag thrown for defensive pass interference as Texas A&M players were all over Wingo.

Texas punts for the third consecutive drive. The Longhorns have just 24 total yards of offense.

Texas A&M incompletion ends drive

Marcel Reed throws a fast ball to Mario Craver on third-and-4, but the Aggies' wide receiver is unable to hold onto it for the first down. Texas A&M sends out the punt unit and gives the ball back to Arch Manning and Texas at its own 36-yard line.

Both teams' offenses have a pair of drops to begin this rivalry game.

Texas punts

Texas' first drive of the night ends in a punt, as Arch Manning is unable to connect with DeAndre Moore Jr. across the middle on third-and-11. The Aggies will start on their own 7-yard line.

Arch Manning, Texas start on offense

It will be Arch Manning and Texas' offense out on the field first. The Longhorns quarterback has played well over the last month in Steve Sarkisian's system, as he has thrown for at least 250 yards and a touchdown in each of his last four games. He has thrown for at least three touchdowns in three of his last four games.

Pregame

Texas A&M wins coin toss

The Aggies win the coin toss and defer the opening kickoff to the second half. Just about underway in Austin!

Anthony Hill ruled out vs Texas A&M

ABC's Molly McGrath reports that Texas star linebacker Anthony Hill will not play against Texas A&M due to a hand injury. Hill was listed as a game-time decision on the final SEC availability report before kickoff. A big loss for the Longhorns' defense.

Marcel Reed warming up ahead of Texas-Texas A&M

Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed has taken the field in Austin. The Aggies' redshirt sophomore quarterback is having a career season at Texas A&M, as he has completed 61.8% of his passes for 2,752 yards and 25 touchdowns while adding six rushing scores.

Arch Manning arrives for Texas-Texas A&M

Arch Manning leads Texas through its pregame walk into DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium ahead of Friday night's top-20 matchup against Texas A&M. The Longhorns quarterback completed 18 of 30 passes (60%) for 389 yards and four touchdowns against Arkansas in Week 13, while adding a rushing and receiving touchdown.

What is Texas A&M football's path to the SEC championship game?

A win over Texas would send Texas A&M to the SEC championship game. It's the lone path to the conference championship game following Ole Miss' win over Mississippi State earlier in the day.
