The teams last met Nov. 24, 2011, at Kyle Field, A&M's last season in the Big 12. The Longhorns won the game 27-25. The Longhorns hold a 76-37-5 edge over the Aggies in the series that dates back to 1894.

According to a Houston Chronicle report from August, new Texas athletic director Chris del Conte called A&M athletic director Scott Woodward this year in regards to booking home-and-home dates in 2022 and 2023. Woodward declined, stating that A&M has already booked its schedule through the next 10 years, the report said.

The 2022 and 2023 seasons feature a preconference home-and-home series with the University of Miami, however the Aggies three other nonconference games have not yet been set for both seasons.

Now, Texas has a home-and-home series slated with Alabama for those two seasons.

The Aggies have at least one Power Five nonconference opponent scheduled through 2026. The Longhorns have one Power Five opponent scheduled outside the conference slate through 2029.

“You look at where national championships come from, and the caliber of play, and you see it every week," Woodward told the Chronicle. "It’s hard on a team, and it’s a pounding. So you have to be careful how you schedule your nonconference games.”
