The 2005 Texas vs. Texas A&M football game, played November 25, 2005, was the 112th meeting between the University of Texas 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 10–0 record; Texas A&M was 5–5. 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 Longhorns football team was coached by Mack Brown and led on the field by quarterback Vince Young. The Texas A&M 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. ==Lone Star Showdown== (詳細はTexas A&M Aggies and the annual football game is part of a multi-sport rivalry called the Lone Star Showdown. It is the longest-running rivalry for the Longhorns and Aggies and it is also one of the ten most-played rivalries in college football. Texas came into the 2005 contest with a 72–34–5 record, including victories in the last five meetings.〔 During the week before the game, the Longhorns conducted their traditional Hex Rally. As a result of a tragic accident in 1999, the Aggies could not host a school sponsored version of their traditional Bonfire but an unofficial version called "Student Bonfire" was held. Since the series began in 1894 it has traditionally played on Thanksgiving Day or Thanksgiving weekend. The 2005 game marked the twelfth straight game to be scheduled the day after Thanksgiving. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2005 Texas vs. Texas A&M football game」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
