COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Ricky Williams won the Heisman Trophy and set the NCAA’s all-time rushing record during an illustrious career with the Texas Longhorns.
Another highlight? Getting three wins over Texas A&M in four seasons.
“It’s been a missing ingredient for Texas for a long time,” Williams told The Associated Press this week. “Part of what, at least in my time at Texas, what made Texas great was beating the Aggies.”
And he’s thrilled that the rivalry — one of college football’s greatest — has been reborn.
