Three straight carries covering 46 yards triggered the winning drive in yet another victory for the Aggies over the Razorbacks at AT&T Stadium. Marcel Reed threw for two touchdowns, including the go-ahead 5-yarder to Tre Watson that was set up by Moss, and ran for a score in the 21-17-win Saturday.
Reed had a hand in two tying scores before halftime – a 58-yard pass to Noah Thomas and his 5-yard TD run – before the Aggies went on to beat the Razorbacks for the 12th time in 13 meetings since joining them in the Southeastern Conference in 2012. The Razorbacks scored three plays into the game when Taylen Green threw a 75-yard touchdown pass to Isaac TeSlaa, and Ja’Quinden Jackson’s 8-yard run for the Razorbacks’ only other touchdown put them up 14-7. Devin Bale’s punt for Arkansas pinned Texas A&M at its 1 with 5:34 left and the Razorbacks trailing by four points. Reed threw 10 yards to Jabre Barber, and Moss ran for another 30 to give the Aggies some breathing room before a punt backed up the Razorbacks to their 10.
