Texas A&M PFF Grades, Snap Counts From Loss to Texas Longhorns

Anytime a team falls to a fierce rival, it will hurt pretty dang bad.

Over 24 hours after the Texas A&M Aggies fell to the Texas Longhorns 27-17, the loss is starting to not feel as bitter. With a win, the Aggies would have been in the SEC Championship, with a bye week for the first round of the College Football Playoff. With the loss, they get an extra week off and avoid the bye week that seemingly doomed all teams that earned it last season.

After the Aggies fell to the Longhorns, this is how PFF graded the Texas A&M players for their performances.
