The Texas A&M Aggies (8-3, 5-2 SEC) are preparing for a high-stakes showdown against the Texas Longhorns on Saturday, Nov. 30, at 6:30 PM CT. With a spot in the SEC Championship game on the line, the Aggies have much to play for after a dramatic quadruple-overtime loss to Auburn. Despite the setback, Texas A&M revived its hopes after Alabama unexpectedly lost to Oklahoma and Ole Miss fell to Florida.
As the Aggies get ready for the Lone Star Showdown, head coach Mike Elko is closely monitoring several key injuries, including updates on Rueben Owens, Will Lee III, and Jaydon Hill, who left the Auburn game early.
Here’s the latest injury report for both Texas A&M and Texas heading into the pivotal matchup:
