AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Southeastern Conference announced football start times and networks for games over Thanksgiving weekend, and the Longhorns and Aggies will be in primetime. The Lone Star Showdown kicks off at 6:30 p.m. CT, Nov. 30 from Kyle Field in College Station and will air on ABC. Depending on how the teams do this coming weekend, the game could decide who plays in the SEC championship game Dec. 7 in Atlanta. The country’s best defense is in Austin, and Steve Sarkisian likes the sound of that Texas takes on Kentucky and Texas A&M plays Auburn on Saturday, and if both teams are victorious, they'll each have one loss headed into their matchup. The winner of the Lone Star Showdown would be the No. 1 seed to the SEC championships game, and the loser would fall into a tiebreaker mess with potentially six other 2-loss teams with only one emerging as the second title-game team. If either team hiccups and loses, the game will still be another installment of one of the country's most intense rivalries, it just won't have the conference implications. It will be the first time since 2011 the teams will play each other. Texas A&M left the Big 12 Conference and joined the SEC in 2012. Texas won the last meeting 27-25 at Kyle Field on a Justin Tucker 40-yard field goal as time expired. The SEC championship game is at 3 p.m., Dec. 7 in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
