Countdown to Camp: Kevin Sumlin on playing Texas: ‘Everybody wants that … but it’s not going to happen anytime soon’

Editor’s note: This is the third of 15 posts leading to Texas A&M camp, which starts on Aug. 10. The players report on Aug. 9.

COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin was asked on ESPN’s SEC Now if he anticipates the A&M-Texas rivalry being “renewed shortly.”

“Everybody wants that,” Sumlin said on the Coaches Corner program that aired on Tuesday night. “The hard part now is scheduling is so difficult. We had to scramble the last couple of years to get anybody to play, and we got a knock for that.”

The Aggies’ non-conference schedule strengthens starting this season, as Sumlin pointed out, when they open with Arizona State, 10-3 last season, on Sept.
