Aggies Set To Face Long-Touted Texas In Rose Bowl Bid
In Austin, Texas A and M prepared to host Texas in a high stakes clash before about 45,000. The Aggies chase a 22-year-old hex on the Longhorns and look to extend a 19 game unbeaten stretch in the Southwest Conference. Texas may start Marion Pugh who is not in good shape, risking the season’s air attack as the Aggies’ defense focuses on stopping Pete Layden and a likely pass-heavy Texas attack. The game, to be played Thursday afternoon, tests the Aggies’ run defense against a potent Texas offense, with key players including Jack Grain and Bil Henderson expected to impact the outcome.
