Won the WAC last year
So they won a conference that won't even be playing football next season and is regarded as the weakest conference in college football (even weaker than the Sun Belt now).

TCU trailed La. Tech almost the whole bowl game before winning by 7.
Houston was down by 20 points before coming back to win in the 4th Quarter.
Southern Miss needed a late FG to win by 2 points.
All three of these teams were very good and top 25 teams last season.

La Tech is a good football team and if A&M plays poorly it can absolutely lose. That said, A&M has a talent edge across the board and the rain would likely favor them. Adverse weather in Shreveport does crazy things though as the State fans remember from the Snow Bowl. A&M just ran Jamaar Toombs all day long and ran him well but there were so many crazy fumbles, people falling down, and bizarre kicks it ended up going State's way with the last play of course being a blocked FG.
Still, put long cleats on Michael, Williams, and Manziel and odds are they are going to make life rough on La Tech. The tougher thing is really the likelihood of high winds as much as the rain. High winds really mess with a passing game of over 10 yards and Tech will need to throw downfield successfully to beat A&M. On the flip side if this was A&M vs UF the following week I would not feel very good about it as I think A&M will need an effectively passing game to beat the Gators.
Oh, and Kerrville is Central Texas. It is also part of the Greater SA area but that isn't relevant. Kerrville is a Hill Country town and the Hill Country is what is considered Central Texas. Culturally it isn't South Texas at all. It certainly isn't South Texas or West Texas. San Antonio is essentially the border for Central/South Texas. The Northern part is Central Texas, South of SA is South Texas.
