Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma State: Predictions and odds for Texas Bowl
The Oklahoma State Cowboys (9-4) are heading to the 2023 TaxAct Texas Bowl to take on the Texas A&M Aggies (7-5) for the last matchup of the season on Dec. 27.
The Cowboys had a disappointing loss against the Texas Longhorns in the Big 12 championship title game. The Longhorns earned a berth in the College Football Playoff four-team matchups as a result of this victory. Oklahoma State’s star running back Ollie Gordon II, who led the nation in rushing yards with 1,614, won the Doak Walker Award and was recently named a unanimous All-American. Despite entering the transfer portal, Gordon II plans to play in the Texas Bowl and has not announced his future with the Cowboys.
After Jimbo Fisher was fired during the season, Texas A&M appointed Elijah Robinson as the interim head coach who will lead the Aggies in the Texas Bowl. Once the bowl game is over, Robinson will leave the team to join Syracuse’s football program, and former Duke head coach Mike Elko will take over as the new coach for Texas A&M.
