## Longhorns Overcome Early Deficit to Down Aggies 27–17
After entering halftime with a narrow 10–3 advantage, the Texas A&M Aggies struggled to contain a resurgent Texas Longhorns squad in the second half. Texas took full control, outscoring the Aggies 24–7 in the final two quarters to close out the regular season with a 27–17 victory.
### Game Flow and Key Moments
The Aggies’ offense opened the game with energy, capitalizing on early field position to secure a touchdown and field goal before the half. However, their rhythm collapsed after the break. Missed tackles and turnovers proved costly, allowing Texas to turn the tide.
The Longhorns’ offense, led by a strong ground game and precise passing, began to find gaps in A&M’s defense. Big plays downfield set up multiple scoring drives, including a decisive touchdown midway through the fourth quarter that sealed the outcome.
### Defensive Breakdown and Offensive Struggles
Texas A&M’s defense, solid early on, lost its edge as the game wore on. Fatigue and poor communication opened lanes for Texas’s runners and receivers. Meanwhile, A&M’s quarterback faced constant pressure, leading to hurried throws and missed opportunities.
> “We just didn’t execute when it mattered most,” one Aggies player admitted postgame.
> “They adjusted better and kept making plays.”
### Momentum Shift and Emotional Finish
Momentum firmly shifted to the Longhorns after a third-quarter interception that gave them field position inside the Aggies’ 30-yard line. From there, Texas controlled the clock, running effective series and forcing the Aggies to chase the game.
By the final whistle, the Longhorns’ composure and mid-game adjustments stood out as the difference in an emotionally charged rivalry matchup.
### Author’s Summary
Texas turned a halftime deficit into a dominant win by executing better, controlling possession, and exposing defensive lapses that A&M could not recover from.
