AUSTIN, Texas — If the Texas volleyball team had something to prove in its match against rival Texas A&M Friday, it look a little time to embrace that attitude, and if it was looking for a wake-up call, coach Jerritt Elliott was there to fill the role of an alarm clock.

After a series of fits and starts, the third-ranked Longhorns remembered just who they are, and who they were playing, and outlasted the Aggies, 26-24, 27-25, 25-21 before a sold-out crowd of 4,328 fans at Gregory Gym.
