COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) - Texas A&M has accepted an invitation to play in the Cotton Bowl .

The 19th-ranked Aggies will learn on Sunday which team from the Southeastern Conference they will play. It will be Texas A&M's first appearance in the game since 2005 and their 12th overall.

Texas A&M (9-3) enters the game with a six-game winning streak and a victory in the game would give the Aggies their first 10-win season since 1998.

Senior linebacker/defensive end Von Miller, who grew up in the Dallas suburb of DeSoto, says he is excited to play his last game "in my backyard."

The 75th edition of the game is set for Jan. 7 with a 7:27 p.m. Central Time kickoff.

AUSTIN (AP) - Cyrus Gray rushed for 223 yards and had two long touchdown runs to help No. 17 Texas A&M beat Texas 24-17 on Thursday night, sending the Longhorns to their first losing season since 1997.

Gray had touchdown runs of 84 yards in the second quarter and 48 yards in the third. Von Miller intercepted a tipped pass at the Texas A&M 11 with 2:37 left to kill what looked like a drive for the tying touchdown.

Jeff Fuller also caught a touchdown pass and Randy Bullock kicked a 50-yard field goal for the Aggies (9-3, 6-2 Big 12).

Texas' fifth home loss of the season means the Longhorns (5-7) won't be eligible for a bowl just one season after playing for the national championship.
