Kyle Field knocks Texas off their game

This is the biggest ingredient here. This is a Longhorn team that has not had to play in an extremely tough environment yet this year, nor have they had to play from behind for really any amount of time.

The one game where their opponent jumped out to a lead was Georgia, and Texas essentially folded immediately in that one. If the Aggies get out to a big lead behind this crowd—no doubt the most raucous this stadium will have ever seen—then Texas will be in entirely uncharted waters.

Simply put, given how they responded against Georgia, the burden of proof is on them to show that they are not a mentally fragile squad. Can they take an early punch from the Aggies and respond? I have a sneaking feeling that we get a chance to see that question answered tomorrow night.
