It isn’t the renewal of its rivalry with Texas, but Texas A&M has scheduled a future home-and-home series with a pretty big opponent.
The school announced on Monday that the Aggies will battle ACC member Louisville in 2028 and 2029, with the Cardinals coming to Kyle Field on Sept. 28, 2028, first and then A&M traveling to the Bluegrass State the next season with kickoff coming on September 1.
From the press release:
The Cardinals from the Atlantic Coast Conference will come to Aggieland on Sept. 2, 2028 and the Aggies will return to Louisville on Sept. 1, 2029.The two football programs have faced each four times on the gridiron with the Aggies holding a 3-1 advantage. Louisville won the most recent matchup in the 2015 Music City Bowl in Nashville, 27-21.
The two schools met three consecutive years from 1992-1994 with Texas A&M hosting the first two games at Kyle Field before a road trip to Louisville in 1994. The Aggies won all three games. The 1993 game at Kyle Field saw Coach R.C. Slocum and the 11th-ranked Aggies defeat Coach Howard Schnellenberger and the 20th-ranked Cardinals, 42-7.
Texas A&M already has a good non-conference slate scheduled for the next several years, starting with battling the Pac-12’s Colorado in 2020 and 2021, the University of Miami in 2022 and 2023, Notre Dame in 2024 and 2025 and then back the Pac-12 with games against Arizona State in 2026 and 2027.
