The No. 4 Texas A&M Aggies outlasted a hungry Arkansas Razorbacks team to move to 7-0 on the season and 3-0 in SEC play. This marked a strong start to their road slate with a tough, hard-fought 45-42 win in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
After weeks of the defense keeping the offense in games, it was the offense’s turn to carry the load—and they delivered in a big way. Following a fast start, the game evolved into a shootout, with A&M managing to stay just a few steps ahead. Taylen Green lived up to the hype, racking up 341 total yards and five touchdowns. However, the Aggie offense made several clutch conversions, going 3-for-3 on fourth down.
Opposite Green was Texas A&M signal-caller Marcel Reed, who played his best game of the season. Aside from a few errant throws, he was locked in—tossing three touchdowns and adding another on the ground. Two others who stepped up in a significant way were wide receiver Ashton Bethel-Roman, who led the team in receptions (4) and receiving yards (83), and EJ Smith, who ran with purpose and picked up key first downs throughout the victory.
It wasn’t a pretty win, and the Aggies had more than a few chances to put the game out of reach. Still, the Southwest Classic is always a battle, and Saturday was no exception.
