Texas A&M running back Ben Malena celebrates his touchdown run against Northwestern during the second quarter of the Car Care Bowl NCAA college football game Saturday, Dec.

A slow start doomed the No. 22 Aggies on Saturday in an 84-64 loss to No. 13 Florida in the Orange Bowl Classic.

Mike Sherman has been fired as Texas A&M's coach after the Aggies finished the regular season a disappointing 6-6.

Athletic Director Bill Byrne announced the move in a statement Thursday night. Sherman was 25-25 in four seasons.

He was hired at the end of the 2007 season, three days after Dennis Franchione resigned.

Justin Tucker kicked a 40-yard field goal as time expired to give the Longhorns a 27-25 victory over Texas A&M on Thursday night in the likely end of a more than century-old rivalry.

No. 21 Texas A&M's high-powered offense was too much for No. 20 Baylor as the Aggies won 55-28 at Kyle Field.

Tyler Wilson and Jarius Wright shattered school records for passing and receiving, and Broderick Green ran 3 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 1:41 left as No.

The Southeastern Conference announced Wednesday that it will make Texas A&M the 13th team in the league but said the move is on hold because a Big 12 school has threatened legal action if the Aggies leave.

The SEC said it received "unanimous written assurance" from the Big 12 on Sept. 2 that it was free to accept Texas A&M.

Cyrus Gray and Christine Michael ran for two touchdowns apiece and Ryan Tannehill threw for two more scores to help No.

A warm-up? Defending champion Auburn got more than that from Utah State, says Holly Anderson. The 23rd-ranked Tigers needed two TDs in the final 2:07 to get past the Aggies 42-38.
