Texas A&M Football: 5 Reasons Aggies will be better than Texas in 2018

Texas A&M football doesn’t meet the Texas Longhorns on the football field this season but the Aggies clearly have the better team from top to bottom.

Since the Aggies left for the SEC in 2012 the most exciting rivalry in the state of Texas has been put on hold. Texas A&M and Texas should be playing every year on the gridiron. They’re not, which leaves the direct comparison of the two programs somewhat open-ended.

From 2012 to the present, Texas A&M is 51-27 with a Heisman Trophy winner and a top-five finish. Texas is 40-36 over that same period with three seasons of sub-.500 records to show for it.

Put simply, Texas is fortunate that the game went away when Texas A&M left for greener pastures. Had the Aggies and Longhorns met on Thanksgiving over the past six years they odds of the Longhorns winning many of those games would have been slim. That goes for the 2018 squads as well.

Texas will forever be handed the preseason accolades and garner the attention of the national media. For all their hype and smack talk, Texas A&M will continue to outdo them on the field. The Aggies have a better squad than the Longhorns this season as well.
