Inside the confines of AT&T Stadium on Saturday, Arkansas (3-2, 1-1 SEC) was defeated by the No. 24 Texas A&M Aggies (4-1, 2-0 SEC), 21-17, in front of an announced crowd of 60,928 in Arlington, Texas.
The first half was as close as it gets for the Razorbacks and Aggies, as each team had a rushing touchdown, passing touchdown and multiple bone-headed mistakes that led to a 14-14 tie.
Highlighting the first two quarters was punter Devin Bale's 25-yard run on a fourth-and-15 fake punt. Bale led the Hogs in rushing at halftime, as running backs Ja'Quinden Jackson and Braylen Russell had a combined 20 yards on seven carries.
In the second half, Arkansas' defense stepped up to the plate and held Texas A&M to a 4-for-13 mark on third down and 286 total yards throughout the entire contest.
Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green's passing game was thwarted by the Aggies' secondary, as he finished 23-for-41 in the pocket with 279 yards, one touchdown and one interception. A fumble by Green that was recovered by Texas A&M with under two minutes to go sealed the victory for the Aggies, who have won 12 out of the last 13 matchups between the two programs.
