Lone Star Lookback: Gamble relives emotional fumble recovery in 1999
Welcome to Lone Star Lookback! Each week, a former player or coach will join David Nuño to reminisce on Texas A&M's historic rivalry with the Texas Longhorns as the game makes an emphatic return on Nov. 30 at Kyle Field.
On Episode 10 of our Lone Star Lookback series, we relived one of the most memorable moments in the history of Texas A&M football as former linebacker Brian Gamble took us through his fumble recovery that clinched an upset victory over the Texas Longhorns in 1999 just days after the Bonfire collapse. Since leaving Aggieland, Gamble has coached college football at Kilgore College, Houston Incarnate Word, Louisiana Tech and is now the assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at UTRGV.
