Connor Weigman assures A&M will beat Texas

For the first time in over a decade, Texas football and the Texas A&M Aggies will revive their rivalry game on the gridiron as conference foes in the SEC. In its inaugural season in the SEC, Texas will get to revive multiple rivalry games, including probably the most anticipated one against the Aggies in College Station in November.

Connor Weigman thinks Texas A&M can beat Texas football in College Station this season

The players that will be involved in this rivalry game for the Aggies are already starting to hype it up this preseason. During a press conference ahead of preseason camp for 2024, Texas A&M starting quarterback Conner Weigman spoke about the rivalry against the Longhorns and his thoughts heading into it this fall.

"I mean I’ve always wanted to beat Texas. That’s a given. I don’t know if it was more after that, but yeah that’s a given, that’s gonna happen."

For context, Weigman was asked about his experience during a photoshoot for the preview edition magazine for the 2024 season for Dave Campbell's Texas Football that he participated in this summer. Weigman did the photoshoot with Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers.

The last time the Longhorns and Aggies met on the gridiron was in the 2011 season where Texas defeated Texas A&M on a last-minute game-winning field goal in the fourth quarter, 27-25.

Texas owns the edge in the all-time series in the rivalry against Texas A&M with a record of 76-37-5. The Longhorns have won three of the last four meetings (between 2008 and 2011) against the Aggies, including two in a row at Kyle Field in College Station.

When Texas and Texas A&M meet on the gridiron this fall, it will be the 119th matchup between these two teams in the history of this great rivalry.

On the line in this rivalry game between Texas and Texas A&M in the SEC this upcoming season will be more than just the right to brag about who wins. It will also be an important game on the resume for each team, especially with the Longhorns expected to be in contention for the SEC Championship Game and the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff this postseason.
