| - The 2005 Texas vs. Texas A&M football game, played November 25, 2005, was the 112th meeting between The University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University in a college football game. Texas came into the game ranked number 2 in the nation while Texas A&M was unranked. It was the eleventh game of the 2005 season and the final regular-season game for both teams. Texas had a 10-win, 0-loss record and Texas A&M was 5 and 5. For Texas, a win would make them sole winner of the Big 12 South division and they would go on to play in the Big 12 Conference Championship. With a loss, they still would play for the conference championship but it would have jeopardized their goal of ultimately playing in the BCS National Championship Game. The Aggies needed a win to have a winning record on the season and to be bowl eligible. The 2005 Texas Longhorn football team (variously "Texas" or "UT" or the "Horns") was coached by head football coach Mack Brown and led on the field by quarterback Vince Young. The Texas A&M Aggies (variously "Texas A&M" or "A&M" or the "Aggies") were coached by Dennis Franchione. Stephen McGee led the Aggies as quarterback due to an injury to starting-quarterback Reggie McNeal. The game drew a stadium crowd of 86,616 and the game was televised nationally on ABC. The contest was a back-and-forth affair which was ultimately won by Texas, 40–29. Although Texas won, it turned out to be the poorest performance of the season by the Longhorns, both offensively and defensively; the game also damaged the Heisman Trophy hopes of Vince Young. For Texas A&M, the loss capped a 5–6 losing season and made them ineligible for a post-season bowl.
