Marcel Reed throws for 2 touchdowns and runs for another in No. 24 Aggies’ 21-17 win over Arkansas
Associated PressThe AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! “That’s just the main focus of finishing the fourth quarter.” 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. “Arkansas, Texas A&M in AT&T Stadium, how else would you expect it to go?” Aggies coach Mike Elko said. “All the way down to the stretch, and you needed to make plays in the fourth quarter to win it.” 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. “We got him healthy and ready to roll when it was time, and he was able to go out there and rip off some really big runs.” Arkansas converted a fourth-and-1 and moved to the 34 before Nic Scourton hit Green from behind and forced a fumble that was recovered by A&M’s Jaydon Hill with 1:30 left.
