Texas A&M joined the Southeastern Conference in July of 2012. The move gave the SEC a program in the state of Texas and a passionate fan base along with it.
The teams have battled five times on the gridiron since A&M’s innagural season in the SEC. The Aggies took the first contest in a blowout victory in which Johnny Manziel ran circles on the Bulldogs. Since then, though, the Bulldogs have made it tough on the Aggies.
Mississippi State has won two of the last three meetings with their maroon and white counterpart. The 2014 game saw Dak Prescott lead State to a dominant victory over Kenny Trill and the sixth-ranked Aggies.
