Texas A&M football: 5 best seasons in program history
By Ethan Lee
No. 3: 1927
The 1927 Texas A&M football season is one of three years in which the Aggies claim a national title. A&M went through the year without a loss, but the Aggies were unable to win every single game they played that season.
The Aggies started the year off with three huge, shutout victories, beating Trinity, Southwestern, and Sewanee by a combined 94-0. While A&M was unable to shutout its next opponent, Arkansas, the Aggies were able to bulldoze straight through the Razorbacks, winning 40-6.
Through four games, A&M totaled 134 points.
That fact alone makes the outcome of the 1927 Texas A&M-Texas Christian University game incredibly mind-boggling.
A&M and TCU ended their contest in a scoreless tie. After the Aggies’ offense was able to score seemingly whenever it wanted through the first four games of the 1927 season, TCU halted the Aggies, preventing them from scoring at all. But that tie didn’t totally derail A&M’s championship aspirations. The Aggies got back to winning by beating Texas Tech 47-6, SMU 39-13, and Texas 28-7.
The Aggies’ defense was astonishingly great that year, holding all nine of TAMU’s opponents to a combined 32 points. In total, A&M compiled an 8-0-1 record under Dana Bible’s guidance that season.
