This past weekend at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, the Texas A&M football team accomplished something that the Dallas Cowboys have yet to do this year: win in the Lone Star State.
The No. 21 Aggies (4-1, 2-0 SEC) beat Arkansas (3-2, 1-1) by a final score of 21-17 on Saturday afternoon. Texas A&M has beat Jerry Jones’ alma mater in 12 of its last 13 meetings.
On multiple occasions in the recent SEC clash, the Aggies overcame adversity. The Razorbacks struck first with a quick three-play drive that took 71 seconds and was capped off with a 75-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Taylen Green to senior wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa.
Texas A&M responded with a three-play, 70-yard possession that lasted 67 seconds. Redshirt freshman QB Marcel Reed connected with junior WR Noah Thomas for a 58-yard tuddy to even the score.
The Aggies overcame adversity again by tying the game at 14 a piece, then tallying the go-ahead TD in the fourth quarter on a 5-yard pass from Reed to senior tight end Tre Watson.
Therefore, Texas A&M earned a B+ for its performance at Jerry’s World. Winning in the SEC is never easy and notching a fourth straight win while being at a neutral site should be commended and respected.
Next up for the Aggies is a challenging conference morning matchup against No. 11 Missouri. Texas A&M hosts the Tigers at Kyle Field on Saturday at 11 a.m. on ABC.
