Texas A&M isn’t hiding its motivation ahead of Friday night’s renewed Showdown.

Texas A&M offensive lineman Ar’maj Reed-Adams kept it real when asked Tuesday about emotions from last season’s postgame scene. “A few things, but we’ll get it handled,” he said, via GigEm247. “Yeah, you know, cowards do what cowards do.”
Texas coach Steve Sarkisian intervened to stop the midfield celebration last year, but the moment sparked anger inside the A&M locker room.
Now, as the Aggies arrive in Austin unbeaten at 11-0 and still chasing a College Football Playoff berth, the stakes are as high as they’ve been since the series resumed.
