Texas A&M (4-1, 2-0 SEC) is now in first place in the SEC after defeating the Arkansas Razorbacks 21-17 on Saturday afternoon, as the Aggies defense came through late to seal the victory.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Marcel Reed, who made his third consecutive start, finished the game 11/22 for 163 yards and two touchdowns through the air while accounting for another score on the ground. However, Reed’s accuracy issues hindered OC Collin Klein’s play calling, opting to run the ball more than needed.
Defensively, junior defensive end Nic Scourton finished the game with four tackles, two sacks, and four tackles for loss in his best game of the year thus far. In contrast, the rest of the defensive line and secondary stepped up when needed, allowing just three points off a late Arkansas field goal in the second half.
Next Saturday, Texas A&M will return to Kyle Field to face an undefeated Missouri Tigers team coming off a bye week, as the Aggies hope to continue the momentum ride against one of the best offensive teams in the country.
