BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – The Texas A&M football team accepted an invitation to the SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and will face USC of the Big Ten on Friday, Dec. 27 at 9:30 p.m. on ESPN.
“We are excited about the opportunity to play in the Las Vegas Bowl,” Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko said. “This Texas A&M team has given maximum effort all year and we look forward to the challenge of facing an excellent USC team.”
“Having been a football student-athlete, I know a postseason bowl game is a reward to the players, coaches, staff and Aggies everywhere,” Director of Athletics Trev Alberts said. “We are excited to compete in the SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl against a quality team like USC.
