Aggies Shock Tide to take Trophy

 Not many outside of College Station saw an upset possibility for Texas A&M over Alabama.

When the jiMpossible-sarcasMike Trophy is on the line, anything can happen. Texas A&M pulled off the 41-38 upset with a walk-off field goal.

  • The Aggies are now 7-6 all-time vying for the trophy, 7-6-1 if you count Texas A&M-Commerce and their tie in the 1954 Tangerine Bowl (Arkansas St retained the Trophy)
  • This is their 4 time as Trophy holder
  • Their longest streak was 5 games from after defeating Nebraska in 1998 before losing to the hated Longhorns
  • A&M travels to Missouri this weekend
  • The Tigers have won the Trophy only one time, defeating Arkansas in the 2008 Cotton Bowl
  • They won their first 5 games to start the 2008 season before losing to Oklahoma State 
  • Overall the Tigers are 6-7 in Trophy games
  • Their last match-up was later in the 2008 season, facing Oklahoma in the Big12 Conference Championship Game
  • The Tigers were the 5th, and final, victory for the Aggies in their streak in 1998
