The Longhorns control their destiny to the SEC Championship Game and ultimately a first-round bye. However, Texas will have to get past Texas A&M on Nov. 30.

"I think we all know what our goals are for the season," Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian said. "We want to be in Atlanta in December, compete for an SEC championship, and we want to be playing January 20. But I don't have to belabor the point. I don't have to talk to it all the time with our guys. They know, and then once they know, and then we get focused on the task at hand. And that's the next week's game. And we'll celebrate this one here. You know, getting home, and then it's, it's on to Kentucky."

But first, the Longhorns will host the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday in Austin at 2:30 p.m. CT.
